Story Iraq: Christian Exodus

"Iraqi Says First Mass as Cardinal" by the New York Times

BAGHDAD, Dec. 6 — One of Iraq’s most prominent Christians, Cardinal Emmanuel III Delly, on Wednesday offered his first Mass since being elevated to cardinal by Pope Benedict XVI seven weeks ago.

Cardinal Delly, 81, is the leader of the Chaldean Church. He said Mass in a small church in a Kurdish area in northern Iraq. Congregants packed the pews and spilled outdoors.

Chaldeans are the largest group of Iraq’s Christians, and are estimated at 500,000, about a third of the number before the American invasion in 2003."

Take that, evangelical assholes!

Nice going, Georgie! You drove the Christians out of Iraq!

In fact, with Bush attached to the Christian religion, the persecution they are facing worldwide is dreadful.

Which, unfortunately, aligns with prophecy!
