Iraqi patriarch seeks coexistence with Shi'ites (AsiaNews)

Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphel Sako has told Shi’Ite Muslims that people of different faiths must learn to live together amicably in Iraq.

At a two-day conference on Catholics and Shi’ites, the Iraqi prelate said: “We must commit ourselves to promoting dialogue and friendship.” He added: “Citizenship and coexistence are a natural right, not a secondary element to be tolerated.”
