And the Pope added, "I think especially of the Christians who were forced to leave the places in which they were born and raised, where their faith grew and enriched. We must ensure that the Christian presence continues on these lands as it was a sign of peace, progress, development and reconciliation between persons and peoples." 

The Pope called on the international community to "do everything in its power to encourage the return of all refugees who wish to return to their countries, by ensuring the security and economic conditions necessary to achieve this."

Pope Francis plans to meet the authority, Ali al-Sistani, during his visit to Iraq

Shafaq News / Cardinal Louis Sacco, the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch, announced that Pope Francis will meet the great Shiite cleric, Ali al-Sistani, in the city of Najaf during the papal visit to Iraq scheduled for next March.

"The visit will be private, as they will discuss a framework for condemning anyone who attacks life," Sacco told France Press.

This is the first visit of Pope Francis to Iraq, since he presided over the Catholic Church in March 2013.

Iraq is characterized by a multiplicity of ethnicities and religions, and Muslims make up the majority of the population, while Christians are the second largest in the country.

The number of Christians in Iraq is estimated at about 450,000 people, according to unofficial estimates, after their number was nearly 1.8 million before the overthrow of the former Iraqi regime in 2003.

Iraqi Christians immigrated to Europe, America and other countries, fleeing the security turmoil and being targeted in some cases by terrorist organizations, chiefly Al Qaeda and ISIS, according to observers.

Pope Francis dismisses uncertainty over upcoming Iraq trip

Francis' visit to the country next month will mark the first time a pope has visited Iraq.

Pope Francis says he is determined to travel to Iraq next month despite coronavirus limitations in what will be the first-ever papal visit to the Middle East country.

Even if social distancing requirements prevent Iraqi Christians from seeing him in person, “They will see that the pope is there in their country,” Francis told Catholic News Service.

“I am the pastor of people who are suffering,” he said, adding that he would consider taking a regular commercial flight to Iraq.

The 84-year-old pope’s trip to Iraq will mark the first time he's traveled abroad since visiting Japan and Thailand in November 2019. Francis, who was forced to cancel his other trips amid the pandemic, will "take into consideration the evolution of the worldwide health emergency” upon traveling to Iraq, his office said.

During his March 5-8 trip, Francis is expected to visit the Iraqi capital, Baghdad; the second-largest city, Mosul; and Ur, the southern city named in the Bible as the birthplace of Abraham. He is also scheduled to meet with Iraq's top Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in the southern city of Najaf and will make stops in the Iraqi Kurdish capital, Erbil, and the Christian town of Qaraqosh.

 

 

The Iraqi Foreign Ministry has described Francis’ trip as “a message of peace to Iraq and the whole region.”

Following the sectarian violence unleashed after the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, the number of Christians has plummeted from roughly 1.5 million to fewer than 400,000. The shrinking Christian population faces ongoing threats from Sunni militant groups, including the Islamic State (IS), which have vandalized churches and emptied out Christian settlements across the Ninevah Plains.

No modern pope has ever traveled to Iraq. In 1999, preparations were underway for Pope John Paul II to visit as part of a Middle East pilgrimage, but the trip was scrapped after Saddam Hussein’s government said it couldn’t ensure the pontiff’s safety. Francis told CNS that he doesn’t want Iraq’s Christians to be disappointed for the second time.

Since becoming pope in 2013, Francis has made interfaith dialogue and religious freedom a focus. He’s made papal visits to several Muslim-majority countries, including Jordan, Turkey, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
