Three Catholic Cardinals Issue Rare Joint Statement
Cardinals Blase J. Cupich of Chicago, Robert W. McElroy of Washington and Joseph W. Tobin of Newark, New Jersey.
On Monday, Jan. 19, three Catholic cardinals — Blase Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington, D.C., and Redemptorist Joseph Tobin of Newark, New Jersey — amplified an address given Jan. 9 by Pope Leo XIV to the Vatican’s diplomatic corps. In their statement, the three U.S. cardinals targeted the self-interested foreign policy they said aims to upend efforts to bring about peace.
