Clarification Regarding What Is g Circulated About the Chaldean Church
Patriarchal Media
We are truly living in troubled times. Not everything that is said or published is true. Unfortunately, some social media platforms have become hubs that spread harmful and inciting falsehoods without moral conscience or ethical consideration.
Regarding what the Chaldean Church is currently facing, the Patriarchate Media Office wishes to clarify the following:
1. The Diocese of Urmia in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the sale of church properties
During the period following the resignation of His Excellency Bishop Thomas Meram from the leadership of the Diocese of Urmia, and before the installation of His Excellency Bishop Imad Khoshaba, Archbishop of Tehran and Patriarchal Administrator of Urmia, a deacon who was serving as the diocesan procurator exploited this vacancy to sell certain properties belonging to the Church.
The local Iranian authorities, to whom we are grateful, arrested him and placed him in prison. He was later released on bail. Investigations are currently ongoing under the supervision of Bishop Imad Khoshaba, along with lawyers and the local government, by an official written mandate from His Beatitude Patriarch Sako, in order to uncover the truth and recover the Church’s properties.
2. The Diocese of St. Peter in San Diego, United States of America
Some members of the diocese have submitted complaints regarding the integrity of His Excellency Bishop Emmanuel Shaleta concerning the handling of certain diocesan funds, as well as allegations of personal relationships. Social media outlets published the news without verifying the accuracy of the information.
Allegations or complaints are not, in themselves, indicators of truth. There are also positive testimonies from clergy and committed lay faithful who serve the diocese. These matters require evidence, documentation, and time.
The Holy See, with the knowledge of the Patriarchate, has initiated thorough investigations to reveal the truth and to take a just and impartial decision so that no one may be wronged.
The Patriarchate calls upon everyone to exercise prudence and to pray, especially as we are in the season of Great Lent.
