Pope Benedict calls on Iraq, India to protect Christians
Pope Benedict called on October 26 on the governments and religious leaders of Iraq and India to protect Christian minorities where they have been persecuted.
Addressing the faithful gathered in St.Peter's Square for his weekly blessing, the pope said Christians were suffering the "tragedy" of religious oppression in countries where they have thrived for centuries.
"(I) call the attention of the international community, of religious leaders and of all people of goodwill to the tragedy that is happening in certain countries of the east where Christians are victims of intolerance and cruel violence, killed, threatened and forced to abandon their homes and roam in search of refuge," he said.
