Pope Francis says the exodus of Christians from Iraq and the broader Middle East "does incalculable harm not just to the individuals and communities concerned, but also to the society they leave behind"
For Aramaic (Sureth), follow the mass in (although here also Arabic and Aramaic (and Italian) are mixed #PopeInIraq #Aramaic
Apologies - most of the #Aramaic so far is in the form of Classical Syriac, not the modern spoken language (Sureth)
And the three readings from the Bible (OT, Epistles, Gospel) are in Arabic - obviously the language best understood by the majority of those present
Als Jeside, Christ oder Jude lebte man gefährlich im Nahen Osten. Bei den Geschichten, die meine Großmutter, die aus der Grenzregion zwischen #Syrien und der #Türkei stammt,immer erzählte,war ich oft traurig, denn Jesiden galten als vogelfrei. Aber es gab auch die andere Seite:
Der Schutz der Mehrheitsgesellschaft war überlebenswichtig. In der Vergangenheit haben #Muslime immer wieder ihre schützende Hand über die #Jesiden gehalten. In der Sendung #AufDenPunkt von @dw_deutsch, in der es um die #Irak-Reise des Papstes @pontifex ging, habe ich das betont.
Viele im Westen wissen nicht um die multi-religiöse, multi-ethnische Gemengelage im #NahenOsten. In der Region gibt es kein „schwarz“ oder „weiß“. Genaue Kenntnis der Komplexität vor Ort bewahren uns, Fehler der Vergangenheit zu wiederholen. #PopeInIraq

Not only no masks, but no social distancing whatsoever, they’ve just arrived from overseas and meeting indoors. The Pope in Iraq today
The @Pontifex has hundreds of millions of followers around the world including Brazil where tens of thousands are getting infected by coronavirus every day. Baffling to see him appear maskless meeting people indoors in Iraq. Explanation needed #PopeInIraq
