As the U-S and Iran maintain an uneasy ceasefire, there are growing concerns about the Trump administration’s use of religion to justify its actions.
Earlier this week Trump talked about wiping out an entire civilization.
And yesterday war secretary Pete Hegseth said, “God deserves all the glory.”
That kind of rhetoric has drawn criticism from religious leaders including Pope Leo the 14th, and Cardinal Blase Cupich, head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.
He spoke to WBEZ’s Michael Puente earlier today.
