    • The Vatican has overturned a ruling by Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphael I Sako, lifting the suspension of Chaldean priests who fled Iraq after the Islamic State came to power.

    The Chaldean Patriarch had ordered all of his priests to return to their parishes, unless they had received explicit permission to leave. He reasoned that priests should serve their people even when their ministry puts them in danger.

    Chaldean Catholics in San Diego, California, appealed to the Vatican, and won a ruling in favor of Father Noel Gorgis, who is now serving in a parish there. The ruling allowed Father Gorgis to remain in California and continue his priestly ministry.

    The same ruling applies to other Chaldean priests who faced suspension because of the Patriarch’s order.

    • I'd have to side with the Patriarch on this one.

    • Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphael I Sako has challenged a Vatican decision overruling his order for Chaldean priests to return to Iraq, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.

    The Iraqi Patriarch had announced last year that Chaldean priests who fled Iraq without episcopal permission were required to return, or face suspension from ministry. But earlier this month the Vatican reportedly accepted the appeal of Father Noel Gorgis, a Chaldean priest who is now serving a parish in California.

    The Chaldean Patriarch has said that the Vatican does not have authority to overturn his order, the Los Angeles Times says. The report, if accurate, points to a test of the lines of authority between the Vatican and the Eastern churches which, while in full communion with Rome, maintain their own independent episcopal authority
