ADN KRONOS INTERNATIONAL: Vatican City - Pope Benedict XVI has urged Iraq's authorities to give greater protection to Christians and other religious minorities. The pontiff reminded Iraq's new ambassador to the Holy See, Habib Mohammed Hadi Ali al-Sadr, that "since the earliest days of the Church, Christians have been present in the land of Abraham, a land which is part of the common patrimony of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.”
Iraq's new government needs to urgently implement measures designed to improve security for all sectors of the population but especially its various minorities, he said. >>> AKI | Friday, July 02, 2010
