Dear Mr. Patriarch!

[Libnene Qu7]

This batrak will certainly go down into the trash bin of history. In time, he will be judged harshly even by those who claim allegiance to him now.

Ensuring the churches sustainability requires taking stances that may contradict those of certain congregation members.
Irrespective of whether you agree or disagree with his views towards the direction he finds appropriate for his congregation, such views demand respect. If not respect for the patriarch as an individual, respect for his position as the head of the church.

The more you and others attack the Patriarch, the more you hinder your chances of gaining popularity because a majority of Lebanon's christians still go to church, and respect his views, and dispize those who show descent

Allow me to disagree on the highlighted red part sustainability is not ensured by playing political games because you know in politics there
is no permanent winner right?

About the popularity it is not the issue, the issue is about the maronite
church and its existence

[needfortruth]

I have an idea!!

Why don't we start by excommunacating Child Molesters? I can't imagine anyone objecting to this.

We may have to limit Sunday mass services to few churches as a result. But we'll manage.

I used to be proud of being Greek ordox. Nevertheless, after Motran
3aoude's attitude, wellll

Yalla, let's have a group excommunication....

What is pathetic is that the Batrakh and his babies the retarded LFers made a huge fuss about the SHN picture in a rosary and the singing in the church issue, awamo el ared, but when Israel, their loving mother did the attacks on jesus, which were nothing to compare with a stupid rosary with a politician's picture on, they did nothing, said nothing. The batrakh thinks that everyone is as senile as he is, his answer to the question was that he did not see the video, he is not watching much TV.
Is this acceptable? This shows that they do not give a rat's a$$ about the church or the mouharramet or Jesus or Christianity to start with, all they care is about their pockets, their small stupid little interests, about insignificant political issues.

u r right , the majority of the Christians still go to to church for praying and do not want to see people attacking the head of the church because of politics .

ah the innocent batrak has never ever had anything to do with politics, his role is just limited strictly to religious sermons wallah

dont insult the intelligence of the maronites, they are not forced to follow a corrupted mind to say the least

if you chose to behave like sheeps, do so, but blame your fellows then if christians loose ground

[e_khoury]

let them go and find solutions for the pauvrety, and how they will let the youth go back to the churches,how they will help people to pay schools and collegues tuitions.
Wlo kafarouna!!!!
PS: great tribute to jad abou jaoude who was defnding his points of views alone against the priests and the journalists

The Church has a Head. What it is lacking is the brain that should have came with it.
