A Catholic cardinal ripped the White House on Sunday over its “gamification” of war, and other church leaders criticized the administration in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired before President Donald Trump’s not-so-holy words for Pope Leo XIV.

“We’re dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people and the killing of children and our own soldiers into entertainment,” said Cardinal Blase Cupich, the archbishop of Chicago, of the White House’s pop culture clip-filled wartime hype content.

Cupich, Cardinal Robert McElroy and Cardinal Joseph Tobin — all considered progressive voices in the Catholic Church — sat down with “60 Minutes” correspondent Norah O’Donnell, where they criticized the administration’s approach to the war and its immigration policies.

The three knocked the administration’s foreign policy earlier this year, with Cupich particularly taking aim at the White House’s “deeply offensive” use of social media to promote the conflict last month.

He revived the argument in his interview with O’Donnell.

“It is sickening,” Cupich said.

“To splice together movie cuts with actual bombing and targeting of people for the purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are. We’re better than this.”

Elsewhere in the segment, McElroy, the archbishop of Washington, noted that Iran has an “abominable regime” deserving of removal before stressing that the war has been one “of choice.”

“I think it’s embedded in a wider moment in the United States that’s worrying, which is this: We’re seeing before us the possibility of war after war after war,” he said.

The first U.S.-born pontiff has called for peace amid the conflict and, while not mentioning Trump by name, has gone after the “delusion of omnipotence” and has bashed his “unacceptable” threat to end Iran’s entire civilization.

Less than two hours after “60 Minutes” aired its segment on Sunday, Trump melted down on Truth Social in a rant where he took credit for Leo’s election and described the pope as “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.”

Leo has since declared that he’ll continue to “speak out loudly” against the war, telling reporters on Monday that he has “no fear of the Trump administration.”

Trump’s attack has led Bishop Robert Barron — who was picked to serve on the administration’s Religious Liberty Commission last year — to go after the president’s “entirely inappropriate and disrespectful” attack on the pope.

The segment dropped amid a cloud of recent reporting detailing how Pentagon brass flexed that the U.S. military can do “whatever it wants in the world” and demanded the church “better take its side” in a meeting with Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Holy See’s former ambassador to the U.S., earlier this year.

Both the Vatican and the White House pushed back at the report last week.
