Sfeir Warns Against Maronite Split
Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir on Monday warned Maronite Christians against carrying their differences too far for splits could backfire on them.
"Each time Maronites differ among themselves … they are defeated by greedy persons," Sfeir said during a sermon on the occasion of St. Maroun Day.
"History attests to this," he added.
"But if Maronites united ranks and strengthened cooperation among themselves, their wellbeing would flourish and they would gain respect by their fellow citizens regardless of their sects," Sfeir stressed.
"It is time to make up our minds and look carefully at what brought us here if we want to get out of this dilemma," he concluded, adding that "this situation would lead many of us to migrate with no return."
