7 years after ISIS invasion, Iraqis still face uncertain future (Crux)

“Years after the end of this nightmare, with the vigor of the Iraqis and the help of the international community, Christians are still recalling this memory with pain and bitterness,” said Cardinal Louis Raphaël I Sako, Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church. “Had it not been for the Church that accompanied them in their physical, human, and spiritual displacement, built their homes, and helped them not lose hope for the future, none of them would remain in Iraq.”
