#3 If he's serious, he should ask the Pope to encourage Roman Catholics to immigrate to Iraq to support the Chaldean community there.

The Chaldean have an unusual relationship with the Roman Catholics. The Eastern Catholic Churches are autonomous, self-governing (in Latin, sui iuris) particular churches in full communion with the Bishop of Romethe Pope. Along with the Latin Rite, together they compose the worldwide Catholic Church.

The Patriarch of the Iraqi Christians, Mar Emmanuel III Delly, has been elevated to cardinal by Pope Benedict, so there is a pretty good relationship there.

So it could be a bold move for the Pope to encourage Roman Catholics "of means" to set up shop in Iraq. Delly has been masterful with making generally good relations with most Muslims, so it would be up to him to sell the idea of Christian immigrants with money coming to Iraq to boost the economy.

While it would enrage the fanatics, the typical Iraqi understands that religion is one thing, and business is another, and this is good for business.

#4 I'm confused here?
Just why would the pope(S) NOT embrace death, and thereby sit with God above?

Yet all Live to ripe old age?

WHY, Unless they KNOW they're NOT?
