## Resource

The world is watching the situation with Iran unfold, but how should Catholics respond? In this episode, we dive into the Church’s call for peace, why the Vatican often avoids taking political sides, and what that actually means. We also explore the reality of self-defense, the limits of Just War Theory, and the difficult question: what happens when your enemy doesn't want peace? This isn’t a black-and-white issue, and we don’t pretend it is.
