MORE than 20 months after the body of kidnapped Chaldean Archbishop Paulos Faraj Rahho of Mosul, Iraq, was recovered, Pope Benedict XVI has approved the election of a new archbishop for the city.
The Synod of Bishops of the Chaldean Catholic Church elected Fr Emil Shimoun Nona, a 42-yearold official of the Archdiocese of Alqosh, near Mosul, to succeed Archbishop Rahho.
