HIS HOLINESS ARAM I RECEIVES THE MEMBERS
OF THE MARONITE LEAGUE

The members of the Maronite League, headed by Dr. Joseph Torobey, visited
His Holiness Aram I in the Saint Mary Monastery in Bikfaya on August 10.

The Pontiff and his guests discussed the recent developments on the Lebanese
political scene, particularly in light of the situation created after the
by-elections in the Metn area and their consequences. His Holiness
expressed his viewpoints regarding these developments, considering that
Christian unity is above everything else for establishing stability in
Lebanon.

The members of the Maronite League shared the Catholicos’ viewpoints with
respect to sovereignty in Lebanon and expressed their resentment of the
unpleasant atmosphere created in the aftermath of the Metn elections.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
