Maronite Bishops Relieved at Lebanon Calm, Express Regret at Regional Bloodshed
The Council of Maronite Bishops on Wednesday expressed gratitude that the situation in Lebanon is fine despite complications and wished Premier-designate Najib Miqati success in forming the cabinet.
“We thank God that the situation in Lebanon is fine and we wish the PM-designate success in his mission to confront the current situation,” the bishops said in a statement read by Monsignor Youssef Toq.
The bishops held their monthly meeting in Bkirki under Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir.
Turning to the regional situation, Toq said: “The situation in the region and the Arab world is worrying. There are coups and revolutions that pushed Lebanon to the streets.”
“We express regret that blood was spilled,” the statement said.
