Pope Francis: Pilgrim of Peace | Opinion Callista Gingrich On 3/10/21 at 12:39 PM EST From March 5-8, Pope Francis embarked upon a historic visit to Iraq, perhaps the most significant trip of his pontificate. The importance of this first-ever papal visit to Iraq, a country ravaged by war and violence, can hardly be overstated. Iraq is home to one of the oldest Christian communities in the world. Following years of conflict, however, that community has fallen from approximately 1.5 million prior to 2003 to 300,000 today. Since the Iraq War began in 2003, Christians have suffered persecution, violence and destruction. These horrors were made worse by ISIS militants, resulting in many Christians fleeing to escape the brutality.
