Summary: The EWTN News article from March 3, 2026, reports on the widening Iran war and its impact on Eastern Christian communities, citing concerns from Cardinal Dominique Mathieu, Chaldean Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako, Maronite Patriarch Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, and the apostolic nuncio Bishop Eugene Nugent. It details attacks in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, the Holy Land, Jordan, and the Gulf states, noting displacements and casualties. The article concludes with a statement from “Pope Leo XIV” calling for “rational, sincere, and responsible dialogue” for peace. The article’s fundamental error is its presentation of the conciliar sect’s modernist “peace” appeals as legitimate Catholic responses, while utterly omitting the non-negotiable Catholic doctrine of the Social Kingship of Christ and the duty of all nations to publicly acknowledge Him, thereby whitewashing the apostasy of the very hierarchy it quotes.
