Armenian Catholic Youth Converge in Lebanon: Conciliar Sect Exports Naturalistic Humanism as ‘Christian Witness’
The EWTN News portal reports that from July 28 to August 3, 2026, the Armenian Catholic Youth Union of Lebanon assembled young adults from nine nations—France, Luxembourg, Italy, Canada, Iraq, Jordan, Armenia, Lebanon, and Syria—in Anjar for a gathering centered on Acts 4:32, “with one heart in Christ.” The “Patriarch” Raphaël Bedros XXI Minassian presided at a “Mass” at the Monastery of Our Lady of Bzommar, urging participants to become a “spark” of “hope, love, and fraternity” amid Middle Eastern crises. The program combined spiritual talks, humanitarian service with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, and pilgrimages to the shrines of the post-conciliar “saints” Charbel and Ignatius Maloyan, as well as the Maronite Shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. This spectacle is not a renewal of Catholic action but the conciliar sect’s standard deployment of emotionalistic humanitarianism to obscure the vacuum of the Supernatural Faith and the Social Kingship of Christ the King.
