CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Robert McElroy said that he had no immediate plans to meet with President Trump after his installation as Archbishop of Washington in March. But he revealed that he had had a lengthy telephone conversation with former President Joe Biden.
At a February 27 press conference in San Diego, the cardinal echoed the concerns of Pope Francis about US immigration policy, saying that he saw a “wider cultural attack” on migrants.

Biden likewise had no immediate plans to meet with Putin---for 3 years. It just may be the case that McElroy practices the same "brand of Catholicism" (cf. "America Magazine, 23 August 2024) as Joe Biden, and maybe even the same brand of politics. Trump is seeking a remedy for the last 4 years of want of diplomacy with Russia. Will we see McElroy step up to the plate and initiate diplomacy with Trump, or will we have 4 more years of Democrat-style intransigence?

If Trump could talk peace with Kim Jong Un, why can't McElroy talk to Trump?
