The Austrian Independent website reports that Christoph Cardinal Schonborn attacked the Austrian government today (November 5, 2010) for its failure to have accepted Iraqi refugees who are members of the country's Christian minorities.
The cardinal added that such refugees were often well-educated and worldly-oriented people who could easily integrate themselves into Austrian society.
Catholic press agency Kathpress has quoted Schonborn as claiming that religious minorities in Iraq are in serious danger, and that hardly a day goes by without attacks on them.
The agency also quoted him as noting that 300,000 Iraqi Christians who have had to flee to Syria and Jordan are living miserable lives without any hope of returning home.
