.- Pope John Paul condemned on Wednesday the bombing of two churches in Iraq, the latest in a series of attacks against the Christian community.
During the Mass he presided in honor of the 150 Anniversary of the dogma of the Immaculate Concpetion, the Holy Father said: "I ask the Lord for the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin, so that the dear Iraqi people can finally come to know a time of reconciliation and peace."
