USA Today reached out to Dr. Jonathan Tan, the Archbishop Paul J. Hallinan Professor in Catholic Studies I, for comment in their recent article, “‘Nationalism on Steroids:’ Trump, Catholics battle over morality” (Jan. 21, 2026). “This is no mere minor statement but a major unanimous statement from all three actively serving U.S. cardinals challenging the trajectory of Trump’s foreign policy and its use of military force — not in self-defense, but for partisan political and economic self-interest,” said Dr. Tan.
