As the Trump administration continues its decisive campaign to dismantle the Iranian terror apparatus under Operation Epic Fury, liberal Archbishop Blase Cupich of Chicago decided Saturday to lecture the American people on their “morality.”
In a statement titled“A Call to Conscience,”Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, blasted the official White House X account for a viral, high-energy video that celebrates American military might.
The video, captioned “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY,” features slick edits of Hollywood action stars interspersed with actual footage of U.S. and Israeli missiles hitting their targets in Iran.
While millions of Americans cheered the video’s aesthetic, Cupich calls it “horrifying” and “sickening.”

Cupich argued that the video trivialized the suffering of both civilians and soldiers and reduced the realities of war to what he described as a spectacle.
According to Cupich, the conflict has already claimed the lives of more than a thousand Iranian civilians while American service members have also been killed. Yet instead of sober reflection, he says the conflict is increasingly portrayed through viral clips and social-media spectacle.
The Chicago archbishop delivered a stark warning that societies can become numb to violence if it is repeatedly packaged as spectacle.
He argued that when explosions, missile strikes, and destruction are consumed through viral videos and cinematic montages, viewers slowly become desensitized to the real cost of war.
