I'm a maronite and I go to mass every week (well, I try, it is likely every other week or once a month).
I have no comment whatsoever on what Sfeir decides to do in his religious role (well, not true, I still don't understand the catholic church crusade against condomns)...
I however, have a very serious issue with a person highjacking his moral authority to speak utter nonsense in MY NAME (as a Maronite), attacking everything I believe in, all that to support, again, in MY NAME as a Maronite, all those who try to destroy my way of life (from LF to Taef to Hariri, etc.) and that since 1989!!!!!
Go read the interview with S. Hussein Fadlallah in the Wall Street Journal today and you understand how a religious leader should speak.
PS, Although I am totally against mixing religion with politics and don't hold in high estime the other religious leaders you cited, at least they stand WITH their communities, not AGAINST them...
