Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq: The historic Mar Kiriakos Chaldean Catholic Church in the village of Sharanish, near Zakho in northern Iraq, was recently vandalized.

No perpetrators have yet been publicly identified.
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq | Shalom World News An ancient witness of Chaldean Christian faith in Iraq has been desecrated in Sharanish, a historic Christian village near Zakho, close to the Iraq–Turkey border. Video from inside Mar Kiriakos Church shows extensive vandalism, with sacred spaces damaged and church property destroyed. The incident has left the local community mourning the incident, which is another blow to a village that has endured years of instability and displacement. Sharanish, home to the Chaldean churches of Mart Shmune and Mar Kiriakos, remains a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Mesopotamia. As investigations continue, the faithful hold on to a message carried through centuries: a wounded church can still be a living testimony of faith.
Churches in communion with Rome Who are the Christians of Iraq? A long history … After periods of Mongol, Turkoman, and Safavid rule, Mesopotamia fell under the Ottomans, whose empire lasted until the First World War in the early 20th century. It was during the Ottoman period that the East and West Syriac Churches – the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syriac (or Syrian) Catholic Church, respectively – were formed. The Syriac Catholic Church was created when a Jacobite patriarch united with Rome in the 18th century. The Bishops who did not enter into full communion with Rome formed the Syriac Orthodox Church. Today’s Chaldean Catholic Church dates from 1830, when the historical patriarchate of the Church of the East was united with an earlier Chaldean branch created in the 17th century. An even-earlier Chaldean union from the 16th century subsequently separated from Rome and developed into what are today the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East.

1) Exodus 32:19-21; When Moses came near the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger flared up; he threw the tablets from his hands and smashed them at the foot of the mountain. Then he took the calf they had made, burned it, ground it to powder, scattered the powder in the water, and made the Israelites drink it. And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?” 2) Psalm 139, 21-22: “Yahweh, do i not hate those who hate you, and disgust those who defy you? I hate them with a total hatred, I regard them as my own enemies”. 3) Isaiah 49:1; Yahweh called me from the womb; from my mother’s womb He pronounced my name. He made my mouth a sharp sword, and hid me in the shadow of His hand; He made me into a sharpened arrow; in His quiver He concealed me. He said to me, “You are my servant (Israel), in whom I will be glorified.” 4) Revelation 3:14–16; To the angel of the church in Laodicea, write: Thus says the Amen, the …Zaidi
Moses’ lodernder Eifer für Jahwe, den Gott des Sinai, Jahwe, den Gott Israels. 1) 2. Mose 32,19–21: Als Mose sich dem Lager näherte und das Kalb und den Tanz sah, entbrannte sein Zorn; er warf die Tafeln aus seinen Händen und zerschmetterte sie am Fuße des Berges. Dann nahm er das Kalb, das sie angefertigt hatten, verbrannte es, zermahlte es zu Staub, streute den Staub ins Wasser und ließ die Israeliten davon trinken. Und Mose sprach zu Aaron: „Was hat dir dieses Volk getan, dass du eine so große Sünde über sie gebracht hast?“ 2) Psalm 139,21–22: „Jahwe, hasse ich nicht diejenigen, die dich hassen, und verabscheue ich nicht diejenigen, die sich dir widersetzen? Ich hasse sie mit einem totalen Hass, ich betrachte sie als meine eigenen Feinde.“ 3) Jesaja 49,1: Jahwe rief mich aus dem Mutterleib; aus dem Schoß meiner Mutter verkündete er meinen Namen. Er machte meinen Mund zu einem scharfen Schwert und verbarg mich im Schatten seiner Hand; er machte mich zu einem geschärften Pfeil;…Zaidi

The Diocese of Arlington, in Northern Virginia, has announced the creation of a new apostolate entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), Bishop Michael Burbidge announced on June 19. Father Jonathan Romanoski FSSP and Father John Audino FSSP have been appointed to the Chaplaincy. Following the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, the Diocese of Arlington experienced a unprecedented eradication of Masses in the Roman rite. With 21 locations, Arlington Diocese was one of the strongest for the Roman Rite in the United States. In 2022, the Diocese of Arlington reduced the number of "permitted" Mass locations from 21 to 8. Of those eight locations, only three - Saint Rita in Alexandria, Saint John the Beloved in McLean, and Saint Anthony of Padua Mission in Falls Church - received Vatican permission to continue Masses in parish churches. The remaining five communities were relocated to non-parish churches. #newsYopiywpnrj
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira It seems that the impact of Brazilians’ gestures and achievements abroad is reported inconsistently in our country. Telegrams from overseas inform us about the reception of certain literary figures, especially left-wingers or Dom Helder Camara. No Brazilian has received publicity comparable to his since Getúlio Vargas. However, I believe many individuals outside this select group achieve undeniable success abroad that goes unreported. I know of at least one notable case worth sharing. _______________ * * * _______________ Attorney Fábio Vidigal Xavier da Silveira, a young and energetic member of TFP’s National Council, is a farmer on the outskirts of Amparo. As such, he developed a strong interest in opposing socialist and confiscatory land reform and was part of the expert committee that Most Rev. Geraldo Sigaud, Archbishop of Diamantina, Most Rev.
