The Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Bertone telegrammed Fr. Ragheed’s bishop on behalf of Pope Benedict XVI saying that "Ragheed’s sacrifice will inspire in the hearts of all men and women of good will a renewed resolve to reject the ways of hatred and violence, to conquer evil with good and to cooperate in hastening the dawn of reconciliation, justice and peace in Iraq." <ref>http://www.insidethevatican.com/newsflash/2008/newsflash-jan20-08.htm Accessed August 4, 2012</ref>
