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.

– Folha de S. Paulo, January 29, 1969 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I cannot simply continue with my previous explanation to satisfy the public’s interest or desire for information on the TFP. I would be forced to discuss facts the average reader is unfamiliar with. Therefore, I must start by outlining the scope of the topics and events I will address. To do this, it is best to demonstrate that these topics and events are central to the major issues facing Brazilians who genuinely love their country. ________________ * * * ________________ It’s common to say that a country’s main institutions are its driving forces. Brazil’s key forces include the Church, the Armed Forces, professional associations, and universities. With some goodwill, we might also add political parties. The press often covers these institutions, but it does not always give them the prominence they deserve. Main news usually focuses on politics — the conflicts between parties and the actions of official bodies …เพิ่มเติม
Ex-U.S. attorney on report WH admin ended DOJ probe into fraudster's clemency David Gentile, a private equity executive convicted of a massive scheme to defraud thousands of people, had his sentence wiped out. Now, The New York Times reports DOJ prosecutors had opened an investigation into how Gentile got the clemency deal but were told to abandon it.

“Our prosecutors always work within the bounds of our enforcement priorities to hold bad actors accountable and ensure the efficient use of taxpayer resources,” she said in a statement. It is not clear how far along the investigation was, or who was being targeted. While prosecutors had explored potential crimes like wire fraud, according to four people with knowledge of the situation, it is also not clear whether the investigation would have resulted in charges had it been allowed to continue, or if a crime was committed at all. There is no indication that Mr. Trump himself was a target of the investigation. Nonetheless, it had the potential to embarrass the president by highlighting how his pardons and commutations have often benefited wealthy or well-connected people, or his supporters. Mr. Trump’s unorthodox approach to clemency has spawned a seamy cottage industry in which lawyers, lobbyists and others with ties to the president have collected millions of dollars from pardon …เพิ่มเติม
