BAGHDAD, Iraq - Christians in Iraq are looking for fair treatment, not special preference, says the papal representative in this country.

"Christians in Iraq do not want any privileges; they only want their rights as citizens to be respected," said Archbishop Fernando Filoni in a homily on the occasion of the ordination of Louis Sako as the new archbishop of Kirkuk.

Though elected to lead a local interim governing council, Archbishop Sako declined the leadership role.
