This Syrian Archbishop Has a Message for the West Regarding Refugees... and It's Not What You Might Think..."We will reconstruct our country. We want to build and stay. We want it to be our country and stay in this country where Christianity was born, and give a testimony of Christ's love and charity, and of the possibility to live together, as men believing in God and respectful of one another." [Gospel Herald] A Syrian Catholic Archbishop serving in the city of Aleppo has urged the West to refrain from taking in any more refugees and instead put more effort into finding a solution to the devastating conflict.

When asked about Canada welcoming 25,000 Syrian refugees in the past few months during a recent trip to the country, Jean-Clement Jeanbart, Melkite Catholic Archbishop of Aleppo, said such efforts are simply hurting those already suffering. "We're not happy when we see the Canadian government moving refugees and facilitating their integration. It hurts us. A lot," he said, according to the World Watch Monitor. The report notes that since 2011, the Christian population in Syria has been reduced by two-thirds since the beginning of Syria's civil war, from 1.5 million to only 500,000 today. In the 8,000-year-old city of Aleppo, just a quarter of the Christian population remains.
