Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington D.C., very much in sync with the Pope Leo’s peace initiative, yesterday gave an unequivocal condemnation of the Iran war as unjust and immoral.

Two particularly notable quotes are provided here:
“We are called to be peacemakers within this nation which we love so deeply, refusing to allow the cancer of polarization to swallow up the noblest dreams of our founders in this very year in which we celebrate our 250th birthday as a country.”
