sin. Even the verses the Roman<br />
Catholic Church uses to back up this<br />
type of claim(s) are completely taken<br />
out of context to justify their traditions.<br />
Most Roman Catholics were born<br />
into the religion, as I myself was;<br />
there was no choice to be made. Just<br />
because a person is born into a religion,<br />
does not make that religion true;<br />
Indians are born into the Hinduism<br />
religion, but they worship over 300<br />
million gods. Ask any Indian who is a<br />
Hindu if they have the right religion<br />
and they will tell you that they do<br />
since they have been taught that it’ s<br />
right all their lives. However, the Bible<br />
says, “ There is a way which seems<br />
right unto a man, but the end thereof<br />
are the ways of death” (Proverbs<br />
14:12).<br />

A Second Home<br />
The Chaldean Catholic Church is the<br />
way, the truth, and the light to every<br />
wanted believer. It is the only truth<br />
because Jesus is there waiting for<br />
you. I am extremely proud to be a<br />
Chaldean Catholic believer. The Bible<br />
is present in the Chaldean Church, it<br />
is presented and elevated in the<br />
priest’ s hands during the reading.<br />
The words of the Bible are put into<br />
action through our various committees<br />
that help the needy.<br />
The Chaldean Church is doing a<br />
superb job in taking the faith into a<br />
higher level by offering theology and<br />
apologetics courses to our community.<br />
May God bless every Chaldean that is<br />
truly committed to the Chaldean<br />
Catholic faith. The Chaldean Church is<br />
my second home.<br />

Stand And Defend<br />
I read the article on “ Changing Faces”<br />
and there was a section that deeply<br />
offended me, about the Chaldean kid<br />
who converted to Protestant. It had<br />
many false facts about the Catholic<br />
faith, about not having Bibles in the<br />
church and so on. Those are very<br />
untrue facts.<br />
It saddens me that The Chaldean<br />
News went that far to print an article<br />
on a faith, which is unlike the majority<br />
of the Chaldeans. How could you go<br />
that far to print an article like that, not<br />
one section there was to defend our<br />
faith. How sad is that? We are<br />
Catholics and not Protestant! And I<br />
speak for all our people, which are the<br />
majority Catholic. There wasn’ t anything<br />
that spoke about the Catholics<br />
and defending them against this wave<br />
of new religion.<br />
We must stand and defend our<br />
faith and this must be an issue that<br />
The Chaldean News needs to take a<br />
concern about. In your eyes it might<br />
not matter, but to many it could make<br />
them think twice about their faith, and<br />
that is wrong!<br />
We have the true faith and we are<br />
blessed to have it. God blessed us<br />
from the time our families came over<br />
here from Iraq, and we must not<br />
come here to America and leave our<br />
faith. This issue needs to be<br />
addressed, and not in a minor way,<br />
but in a major way!<br />
We as Catholics were attacked by<br />
another religion and that is very<br />
appalling! You as The Chaldeans<br />
News should be more observant in<br />
what is printed! We as Catholics read<br />
the Bible, pray the rosary, honor the<br />
saints, have the true Eucharist, have a<br />
priesthood, and go to mass! This is our<br />
faith and our faith defines our culture!<br />

More Than One<br />
I would like to remind everyone that Mr.<br />
[Yonadam] Kanna is not our only representative<br />
in Iraq as stated in your article<br />
“ Iraq’ s Kanna comes calling”<br />
[March <strong>2006</strong>] when you claimed<br />
Kanna is the only Christian in Iraq’ s<br />
newly elected 275-member National<br />
Assembly. There are also two other<br />
Chaldeans elected in as being part of<br />
the Kurdistna Alliance List. They are<br />
Mr. Fawzi Franso Toma and Mr.<br />
Ablahad Afram Sawa, and they have<br />
worked hard for our people in the Arbil<br />
province. Their results can be seen in<br />
places like Ankawa, where the economy<br />
has flourished.<br />
