POPSWho are the Chaldean Christians? An archbishop seized by gunmen last month in Iraq has been found dead. The body of Paulos Faraj Rahho, the Chaldean Catholic archbishop of Mosul, was found in a shallow grave close to the city. Pope Benedict XVI said he was profoundly moved and saddened, calling the archbishop's death an act of inhuman violence. Archbishop Rahho was kidnapped not long after he left mass in Mosul, in northern Iraq, on 29 February. Three people who were with him at the time, a driver and two guards, were killed by the gunmen. It is not clear whether he was killed, or died of natural causes. Nobody has claimed responsibility for his death. The archbishop's body was found by church workers who went to the area after being contacted by the kidnappers.
