AP "The patriarch, spiritual leader of the world's estimated 1 million Chaldean Catholics, noted in his comments to the pope that the synod had to take place in Rome because the war in Iraq' did not allow the country's bishops to gather in Ur, the biblical birthplace of the prophet Abraham. Iraqi Christians number around 800,000 — about 3 percent of Iraq's 26 million people. Most of them belong to the Chaldean Church, an Eastern-rite church that is loyal to the pope but does not follow the Roman church's Latin rite."
