Okay, so what I'm getting from this article is that Pride is rearing its inflated head again and the interpersonal conflicts have been allowed to fester and grow.

Philip's quick fix:

1) ALL of the Chaldean bishops are called to report for a Lock-in Party with the threat of being labeled a coward by every major news medium in perpetuity for not attending.

2) Arrest Rayan al-Kildani and charge him for war crimes.

3) Cardinal Sako (Sah-ko) and Archbishop Bashar Warda both get together on camera and BOTH apologize to each other for the hurt they have caused while giving specific examples.

4) President Abdul Latif Rashid apologizes to both on camera for listening to al-Kildani.

or...make these bishops and the Syro-Malabar Church bishops all get together and see who wins the "our church is in a bigger mess" battle.

What would be the terms of the challenge?

I'm thinking "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" Death's contest challenge: Battleship, Clue, Table Top Football...

Winner Claims the title of Most Dysfunctional sui iuris Church. I'm not sure if there would be other challengers willing to step forward, which would necessitate a bracket system.

Are you sure the Latin church wouldn't win just on scale of dysfunction?
