Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Santa Fe

With midterm elections just about upon us, one of the looming issues in voters' minds is the war in Iran, not just in terms of the economic impacts, but also about the Trump administration's strategy and aims, and the belief among many, including the editors of Commonweal, that the war was not justifiable in the first place.

So for this episode of the Cotton Wheel podcast, we thought it would be helpful to hear from Archbishop John Wester, leader of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Archbishop Wester has long been one of the leading voices for peace, and he's also an outspoken advocate of nuclear disarmament.

He's also spoken in support of religious freedom and is in favor of a proposed mosque in the suburbs of Albuquerque.

And it's going to be led by Archbishop John Wester of Santa Fe.

And of course, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe has a special role to play in advocating for nuclear disarmament, given the presence of Los Alamos and Sandia nuclear weapons laboratories and the nation's largest depository of nuclear weapons.

at the Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque.

Archbishop Wester is a very strong supporter of the treaty.
