“Grand Ayatollah, Sayid Ali al-Sistani, has met Cardinal Emmanuel III Dally, at his residency place in Najaf,” the source told Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
Cardinal Emmanuel had arrived in Najaf early in the day, where he visited the shrine of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib and the museum of Sayid Mohammed Baqir al-Sadr.
As for Sistany’s non-reception of Cardinal Emmanuel last week, Dally told Aswat al-Iraq that “the media had escalated the issue of canceling the meeting with Ayatollah Sistani last week,” saying: “there hadn’t been a previous appointment between me and the Religious Authority that day.”
Cardinal Emmanuel had visited Najaf a week ago, but he did not meet Ayatollah Sistani, who apologized for not meeting him “due to his full previous appointments.”
