Vatican City, Nov 13, 2005 / 22:00 pm
On Saturday, as a group of Chaldean bishops were meeting in Rome for a special synod, Pope Benedict XVI met with His Beatitude Emmanuel III Delly, patriarch of Babylon of the Chaldeans in Iraq, and encouraged peace in the war-torn nation.
The Pope began his brief speech by thanking the bishops for their visit you for their visit, which, he said, “enables me to send, through you, words of great encouragement to your communities and to all the citizens of Iraq.”
