"The head of the Chaldean Catholic Church in Iraq has said the Church
in his country is "ruined" eleven years after the US-led invasion of
Iraq.
“1,400 years of Islam could not uproot us from our land and our churches, while the policies of the West [have] scattered us and distributed us all around the world,” Patriarch Louis Raphaël I Sako said.
The patriarch, who has governed the Eastern Catholic Church since February 2013 said, “intervention by the West in the region did not solve the problems" but instead "produced more chaos and conflict.”
“Democracy and change come through upbringing and education rather than through conflict,” he added.
