His return came after the country's prime minister signed a decree re-recognizing the cardinal as patriarch of the Chaldean Church and responsible for the Church's property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cardinal had left Iraq and moved to a monastery in Iraqi Kurdistan in July 2023 following a crisis in diplomatic relations between the Patriarchate and Iraqi leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, the president of Iraq revoked the decree recognizing his ecclesiastical position among Iraq's institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his reinstatement, Cardinal Sako returned to the country and celebrated a Mass to express his gratitude. The local community as well as bishops, priests and nuns attended the Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Iraq, the majority of Catholics are from the Chaldean rite. The country has 96 Chaldean parishes with almost 650,000 members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CA<br>TR: KG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cardinal Louis Rapha\u00ebl Sako had left Iraq and moved to a monastery in Iraqi Kurdistan in July 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":758,"featured_media":68900,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,178,26,27],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MJWKEWtMR-c","video_descarga":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bsakoretornoeng.mp4","international_url":"https:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/bsakoretornoint.mp4","type":"bn","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68903"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/758"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68903"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68903\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68905,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68903\/revisions\/68905"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
