The Chaldean Patriarch of Baghdad in now a Cardinal?

Who knew the Catholic Church had such a close relationship with the ancient Chaldean Church?

And I must admit, the medatory is a bit jumbled, more about Eusibeous (sp) then the named Bishop.

My mistake, I had thought the Pope’s letter was about At Anthony, it was in fact about Eusibeous (sp).

Please disregard.

And thanks for the ping, always look forward to these.

The captions for the photos are not written very well. However, this one gives a little more information about Patriarch Emmanuel III Delly.

Newly elected Chaldean Patriarch Emmanuel III Delly of Baghdad, right, waits with unidentified clergy for the inaugural Mass at St. Joseph's Chaldean church in Baghdad in this Sunday, Dec. 21, 2003 file photo. The Chaldean Church is loyal to the pope but does not follow the Roman church's Latin Rite. Patriarch Emmanuel III Delly is one of the 23 new cardinals the pontiff will elevate in a solemn ceremony next Nov. 24. The pope named Wednesday, Oct.17, 2007, 23 new cardinals, tapping the Chaldean patriarch of Baghdad, two Americans and archbishops from four continents to join the elite ranks of the 'princes' of the Roman Catholic Church. Eighteen of the 23 are under age 80 and thus eligible to vote in a conclave to elect a future pontiff. (AP Photo/Dusan Vranic)
