The highest-ranking Chaldean cleric in Iraq called on the world to focus on the plight of Christian minorities amid the turmoil in his country, and he said that Muslims also have shared the pain of the violence that still shatters normal society under the American-led occupation.

Cardinal Mar Emmanuel III Delly, 81, Patriarch of Babylon, spoke Tuesday in Metro Detroit among the largest Chaldean community outside of Iraq. He has remained in Iraq, despite injuries from shattered glass during an attack in 2007, amid the turmoil that many believe threatens the existence of the world's oldest Christian community.
