With all due respect to your person your eminence as well as high reverence to the post that you hold in the church; please remove yourself from political life. Religious figures are spiritual leaders and should never be involved in politics. This is my humble request of you.

I am not sure what the reference "de facto cabinet" means but the only salvation for Lebanon now is a government that will be at equal distance from the two entrenched political parties: One that oppresses at gunpoint and the other that cowardly obeys but cries foul at the same time.
M8 & M14 is a sickening gripping vice and the Lebanese people are stuck in the middle. Time to try something different no?

This is disgusting, that the Patriarch would meet with a known Terrorist organization, whose members have been indicted for killing former Prime Minster Rafik Hariri and others.
To pretend that the assassination didn't happen, and to meet with these thugs, is an insult to Hariri, Gemayel, Tueni, Kassir, Hawi, Eid, al Hassan, Ghanem, Eido, Murr, Chidiac, Hamadeh, their families, and all the Lebanese.
This is what the rat meant when he said they survived the indictments.

M8 denies lebanese elecciones, but they hold onto power? even if m14 and other join them, none of them have political legitimacy. they need 2 be toppled asap. we need a rebellion similar 2 the one in syria.

He also justified the arms of khizbollah while israel occupies palestinian land
