Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal Beshara Boutros Al-Rahi, indicated that political officials should not forget that ‘political work is a service to all human beings,’ considering that political power is a function of strengthening interdependence and integration among citizens. During the Mass of Consecration of Families and the Church, with the intercession of St. Joseph in Bkirki, the Patriarch pointed out that “the Christian community cannot practice politics in isolation from dialogue and mutual listening, discerning the decision that must be taken without imposing opinion and without hidden calculations.” Al-Rahi stressed that “all our political, economic and moral crises lie in the failure to provide for the public interest, and this is the main reason for obstructing the election of a president for the republic, and herein lies the chaos and disintegration of the state.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
