Al-Rahi: I Support Elimination of Sectarianism on Condition a Substitute Be Provided

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi stated on Wednesday that the problems of the tourism, agricultural, and economic sectors can be solved by politicians and concerned officials.

He said before a student delegation from Collège Notre Dame de Jamhour: “We support the elimination of political sectarianism on condition that we be provided with an alternative in order to preserve the National Pact.”

He made his visit to the school as part of his tour of the Beirut Maronite Archbishopric, which he launched on Saturday.

The patriarch later met with Jesuit priests from Saint Joseph University.
