A cardinal against Trump

“The United States, which was once a leader in the environment of environmental defense, became, under the current administration, the leader in the resistance to efforts to combat climate change and the negation of its existence. Consequently, the survival of the planet, which is the prerequisite for all human life, is in danger. The declaration dates from 2020, while the country was led by President Trump. Five years later, she remains more than ever for the Californian Cardinal Robert McElroy who is the author.

Having become the sixth bishop of the diocese of San Diego, in this region currently so hard hit by huge fires, he made it a diocese particularly committed in the ecological transition recommended by encyclical Laudato if ‘. Specialist in ethical questions, the man has notably mobilized to defend the homeless, respect for migrants and the fight against global warming. Recalling, as a good disciple of the Argentinian Pope, that the social and the environment are intimately linked.

Promoted Cardinal in 2022, Robert Mcelroy was recently appointed Archbishop of the Diocese of Washington. And that on January 6, 2025, the anniversary of the attempt to take the Capitol to assault by the supporters of Donald Trump. A Catholic voice which will thus count throughout this perilous mandate.
