Pope Francis finished a historic four-day visit to Iraq by calling on Christians to forgive the injustices committed against them by Islamic State militants and to rebuild. What is needed is the ability to forgive, but also the courage not to give up,â said the pope Sunday in northern Iraq at a church thatâs been renovated after being vandalized by ISIS militants, making it a symbol of recovery efforts. Pope Francis also met privately with Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the countryâs top Shiite cleric, Saturday, and together they delivered a message of peaceful coexistence. Later, the pope spoke at the Plains of Ur, the traditional birthplace of Abraham, the biblical patriarch revered by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. He was joined by religious figures from across Iraq s sectarian spectrum. The events gave symbolic and practical punch to the central message of Francisâ visit, calling for Iraq to embrace its diversity.
