CWN Editor's Note: Cardinal Louis Raphaël I Sako, the Patriarch of the Chaldean Catholic Church, has accused five of his brother bishops of fomenting disunity and has referred the case to a higher ecclesiastical court.
Cardinal Sako, 76, previously threatened unilateral sanctions against the bishops after they declined to attend a synod and a spiritual retreat. The Pillar reported that Chaldean Catholic clergy view the referral of the matter to an ecclesiastical court as an act of de-escalation.
