 Threat of war: Pope’s ‘answer to Rumsfeld’ pulls no punches in opposing war
Martino, who returned to Rome in October from 16 years as the Vatican’s observer at the United Nations, has in recent weeks emerged as John Paul II’s answer to Donald Rumsfeld: a blunt, pull-no-punches senior official unafraid to take a hard line.
Martino allowed for the “extreme possibility” of war, if convincing proof is offered and Iraq refuses to disarm, but said even then the means of the war would have to be just, meaning protecting civilian populations, and the potential consequences of conflict would have to be weighed.
Contrary to expectations, Martino told NCR he would not be meeting with American Catholic intellectual Michael Novak, whose trip to Rome to argue for the morality of a “preventive war” in Iraq is being sponsored by the U.S. embassy to the Holy See.

In short, Cardinal Martino spoke and was immediately discounted inside and outside of the Church, with the sole support of radical Muslims and the proponents of multiculturalism.
