Cardinal Sako: ‘I am ready to give up my life for the Church’
The Patriarch of Baghdad has left his home amid a political crisis for the Church in Iraq
It’s been a difficult summer for Cardinal Louis Raphaël Sako.
The leader of the Chaldean Catholic Church — one of the 23 Eastern Catholic Churches in full communion with Rome — left his residence in Baghdad in July. He relocated to the autonomous Kurdistan Region, where around half a million Iraqi Christians have settled since 2003.
