Al-Rahi: Solutions Available but Some Seeking to Control the Country

W460

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi on Sunday stressed that there are “solutions” for Lebanon’s multiple crises but lamented that some parties are blocking them.

“Despite the gravity of the crisis, solutions and rescue means are available, but some are preventing the implementation of solutions as well as the formation of the government,” al-Rahi said in his Sunday Mass sermon.

“Some want to shut down the country and receive its keys. These are wrong bets,” the patriarch added.

“This is a country whose reins are not handed to anyone and it does not surrender to anyone,” al-Rahi emphasized.

Separately, he called on the caretaker government to “perform its duties” and “provide food, medicine, fuel and baby milk” to the people.

Half measures … that’s what the patriarch is all about. To me, it’s what I call hypocrisy. Jesus had a lot to say about hypocrites….

Could you be smart enough as to enlighten us as to who are the ones you're speaking about? if you mean Huzbullah, you are simply telling us part of the story. The whole problem lies with Aoun and Basil, whom you tacitly support. So, please mount down your high horse and mention the names as you know them. Supporting these two liars, Aoun and Basil, will one day destabilize not only Lebanon, but your Bkerki throne. If you don't act immediately, Aoun and Basil will hand over Lebanon to Huzbullah after having made billions from stealing monies of the people, and could easily abscond the country. As for you, you might reach a point where you might need a permission to even pray if Lebanon falls in the hands "you know who"! So please stop preaching us meaninglessly every Sunday with things we all know more about than you.
