Church and Mission, Standard
"The only thing we ask is that it does not hurt to Father Saad Sirop Hanna and our priest is released as soon as possible "is the call the Chaldean Patriarch, Archbishop Emmanuel III Delly, has launched today by the kidnappers of Father Hanna MISNA, the priest kidnapped exactly one week ago, immediately after the celebration of the Assumption, in the southern district of Dora in Baghdad, "I ask all to pray that the Lord give peace and security for all Iraqis and all the churches ", said the Patriarch, who confirmed the rumors by MISNA in recent days about a" huge ransom "asked for the release of the priest. "They want money. I do not know how many. But who took his father Hanna does not even have the slightest idea that the Chaldean Church is a missionary Church that follows his faithful when migrating in the world and lives of donations and the generosity of its faithful, "he added to MISNA Monsignor Delly. Sources of the patriarchate of Baghdad said they were contacted by telephone in recent days by people who presented themselves as the kidnappers of Father Hanna, which would confirm the state of health of the young priest. According to the testimonies gathered in recent days by MISNA the kidnapping of Chaldean father (who in early September would have arrived in Italy to finish a doctorate in philosophy) was performed by a well organized, able to evade the controls of the safety recently prepared by the Iraqi government just around the neighborhood of Dora. In Christian circles in Baghdad la notizia del sequestro di padre Hanna continua a suscitare profonda preoccupazione, dal momento che nessuno dei precedenti sequestri che avevano coinvolto religiosi era mai durato più di 24 ore.
