The Holy See & Iraq | National Catholic Reporter

The Holy See & Iraq | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: In all matters Iraq, the Holy See has always supported the local Church, including not supporting the Iraq war which was opposed by the Chaldean Patriarch (a very old See).  The Pope, however, does not make alliances (it appears they at least listen to George Washington on this matter) and is presumably glad that the refugees were saved - and politely silent about the air bombardment of ISIS on the other side of the mountain.



On Iraq, Joe Biden had the best idea of all, several years ago, to turn each relgious reason into what amounts to a state - an idea that I have him at a Dubuquers in exile reception on the Hill and which he asked for (and I provided) in writing.Would this have prevented ISIS?  Maybe not - but it might have prevented them from trying to take ground.  What is essential is to deny their claim of global caliphate by recognizing what would be a legitimate claim by the heir to Mohammed, Jordan's King Abdullah of the Hashemite Dynasty.  He is the one who should be given resources and tasked to clean up both Syria and Iraq, else he will be the leaders of all the refugees who escape to his kingdom.
