the Easter message to Catholic troops

NEW: The conservative archbishop who leads Catholics serving in the U.S. military says the war against Iran is impermissible under Catholic teaching.

Asked to respond to Pete Hegseth's claims that God is guiding the military effort, Archbishop Broglio said the war is not “sponsored by the Lord.”

Too lazy to look it up but I'm assuming the military has some say or at least leverage over who serves in that position.
