Modernist Subversion of Peace as Spiritual Warfare
The EWTN News portal (January 29, 2026) reports on a Luxembourg conference co-organized by the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE), featuring Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich’s claims that peace in Ukraine and Europe requires “personal conversion” alongside political solutions. The article quotes “Pope” Leo XIV’s message urging “shared moral foundations” for peacebuilding, while Ukrainian MP Halyna Yanchenko warns against territorial compromises with Russia. The conference frames Catholic social teaching as a tool for technocratic crisis management, omitting the necessity of Christ’s Kingship over nations.
