Today Pope Francis received the Assyrian Patriarch of the East, Mar Dinkha IV, assuring him of his “personal commitment” to deepen the dialogue between their two churches and underscoring their common suffering from “the violence that Christians and the faithful of other religious minorities are subjected to, especially in Iraq and in Syria.”
“No religious, political or economic motives can justify what is happening to hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children,” declared the Pope.
Francis also expressed his profound union in prayer and charitable action towards persecuted Christians.
