Cultural Syncretism Masquerading as Heritage in Iraq’s “Mesopotamia Heritage Truck”
The VaticanNews portal (November 8, 2025) reports on the “Mesopotamia Heritage Truck” initiative touring Iraq to promote “unity” through workshops on cuneiform script, painting, and archaeological lessons. Funded by the French organization Mesopotamia Heritage, the project claims to “re-weave Iraq’s social fabric” by celebrating the country’s ancient Mesopotamian past while encouraging collaboration between Christians, Yazidis, Shabak, and other religious groups in regions formerly occupied by ISIS. This effort exemplifies the conciliar sect’s substitution of Catholic evangelization with naturalistic humanism.
