الراعي معتبراً أن بيع الأراضي "جريمة": للحضور إلزاماً الى البرلمان لانتخاب رئيس جديد للجمهورية
Read this story in English
رأى البطريرك الماروني الكاردينال مار بشارة بطرس الراعي أن "السلام في لبنان يكمن بحضور النواب إلزاميا الى البرلمان لانتخاب رئيس جديد للجمهورية"، مردفاً أن "بيع أرضنا والمقامرة عليها جرم ومؤامرة للذات والهوية والتاريخ والكنيسة ترفض أن يبيع أي لبناني أرضه".
وأشار الراعي في رسالة وججها بمناسبة عيد الميلاد المجيد، الثلاثاء، الى أن " بيع أرضنا والمقامرة عليها جرم ومؤامرة للذات والهوية والتاريخ والكنيسة ترفض أن يبيع أي لبناني أرضه"، مؤكداً أنه " على الدولة أن تضغط بقوانين ملائمة عملية بيع أراضي لبنانيين لغير لبنانيين ولحكم شريعة الضمير هذه القوانين".
وأضاف أن "الكنيسة تعمل مشاريع على انمائية متعددة وتفسح المجال لأبنائها باستلام هذه المشاريع"، مردفاً أن "أرضنا أرض الله ونرفض أن تتحول أرض الحديد والنار لأن قيمتها الروحية والتاريخية لا تُقدّر ومنها تعلّمنا الكرم والقيم".
وشدد الراعي على "ضرورة تأليف حكومة ميثاقية قادرة على تأمين السلام الحقيقي أي سلام المصالحة بين الفريقين المتنازعين"، داعياً الى "ضبط السلاح غير الشرعي وقمع التعديات على المواطنين بأرواحهم وممتلكاتهم".
كذلك، لفت الى أن "السلام في لبنان يكمن بحضور النواب إلزاميا الى البرلمان لانتخاب رئيس جديد للجمهورية"، مردفاً أنه "على رئيس الجمهورية أن يصل الى دولة مركزية قادرة مع مجموعة واسعة من اللامركزية وحل الثغرات في منصب الرئاسة وتقريب وجهات النظر من أقرب منافسيه".
يذكر أن ولاية رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان تنتهي في 24 أيار 2014،مع العلم أنه يرفض التمديد أو التجديد لها.
ويشار أنه وبعد استقالة حكومة نجيب ميقاتي في آذار الفائت، تم تكليف سلام تشكيل حكومة جديدة الا أن جهوده لم تنجح في ذلك، في ظل تمسك كل فريق بمطلبه، وكان سلام قد أعلن أن "الشهية السياسية" تؤخر عملية تأليف الحكومة.
وتوجه البطريرك الماروني في رسالته الى المطرانين المخطوفين في سوريا (بولس اليازجي ويوحنا ابراهيم) وراهبات معلولا المخطوفات، بالقول " نعيّد معكم وأنتم عيدنا في الميلاد ونحن فخورون بجهادكم".
ورأى في سياق منفصل، أنه "علينا أن نكون ساعين للسلام، لأنه هبة من الله"، مردفاً أن " الحقيقة تولّد السلام والمحبة والعدالة يعززانه".
وشدد الراعي على أنه "لا يمكن الشعور بالسلام إن لم نحصل عليه ولم نسعى للحصول عليه"، مردفاً أن "مسؤولية بناء السلام في لبنان والمشرق تقع علينا بشكل خاص".
وكان أبدى الجانب السوري امتعاضه من ما وصفه بـ"المزايدة اللبنانية" في ملف المطرانين المخطوفين بولس يازجي ويوحنا ابراهيم اللذين هما سوريان "مما يعني أن قضيتهما سورية بامتياز"، واللذان كانا قد خطفا في نيسان الفائت في حلب.
كذلك، كان قد دخل جهاديون ومسلحون معارضون الإثنين إلى بلدة معلولا المسيحية وأخرجوا 13 راهبة لبنانية وسورية إلى منطقة يبرود من دير مار تقلا. ووصف الفاتيكان العملية بـ"الخطف".

Al Rahi, how do you answer that Hezbollah is buying HUGE chunks of land with iranian money? I got offers from Hezbollahi Chias trying to buy some of my properties in order to colonize my city. that's the way they operate Patriarch. and why didn't I give in? because I have strong principles. I wish we could say the same about some clerics from all sects...
And of course, this iranian money buys lands instead of feeding starving iranian families.... that's how evil they are.

They also tried to buy my chalet in Kaslik for reasons unknown to me. They claimed they wanted it for Rest and Relaxation for their fighters coming back from Syria.

Benzona: No, don't go.....! I know how things have deteriorated with their fake accounts and disgusting comments. However, don't give up. This forum is just a perfect example for what we have to deal with in real life. I am of the opinion we need to divide the country and have held this view for at least the last 10 years. I will be sad to see you go, and I mean that. I will miss you my friend.....
I am going to mass tonight with my family. I will pray for Lebanon and for "less" HA casualties in Syria.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.

HA's tactics are so transparent that it boggles my mind how they can have any Christian apologists whatsoever. They propagate the problems that Lebanon is facing, then claim to be the only saviors who can rid Lebanon of these problems. It's a vicious cycle of self-justification.
Anyway, HA is not part of the future. They're sending their own young to die on foreign soil, they've made their own neighborhoods vulnerable to terrorist activities, and any agreement on Syria that's ultimately reached will surely encompass a crippling of HA's capabilities. Hopefully war can be avoided, but if it does occur, the following words spoken long ago will ring true: "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword."

To Frata!!! Not Your Iranian Masters, Nor your Blood thirsty filthy Bachar Followers ,, I have the right to say also that Kaminai sucks, Hasan Nasrala of Ghizbola criminal, filthy and biggest terrorist afte binladen.
Who cares about Saudi Arabia as they are not helping anyone in Lebanon... unless you are talking about supporting the government when it was time to help for the war that you Ghizbola started against Israel in the 2006?
I guess you know that the people that attacked the embassy came from Lebanon ...so smartA.. keep immigrating the fighters to syria .. I am happy that it is for good.. :)

This is clearly directed at the Saudi/Khaliji invasion and mass purchase of lands/properties in predominantly Christian areas. Al Rahi won't fall for it and is calling them out.
God bless Al Rahi for protecting Lebanon and for lashing out at the February 14 Saudi-Wahabi terrorist coalition.

Karim,
Your blind view of the world is dangerous. You will wake up one day to the ugly truth that you were cheated by the very people you support.
You know Iran is buying up more land for Hezbollah than anyone else connecting various regions in the country. It's only a matter of time until they cut us off and lock us in. Most of the land scandals are Hezbollah related !

Alea iacta est, no more talking with terrorism apologists. You should spare your saliva, they're spinless and will never understand you guys.

@benzona : As you say, it's useless to talk to "terrorist apologists". But these comments are not addressed to them. They are addressed to others who read these comments and might be convinced by them, or not.
Karim is insinuating that al Rahi is attacking Saudi purchase of lands in lebanon when it is clear his attack is directed to Hezbollah. Typical twisting of words to manipulate public opinion.

they are obviously manipulators, but do you think people fall for their lies?

No Karim, this is directed at everyone trying to buy Christian land. To be perfectly honest with you, this is one thorn in my heart when it comes to you my Shiite siblings, I just don't like that habit of yours, buying our lands will you to nowhere, it will only exacerbate the feeling that's all. But the traitors are those Christians who have no problems to sell land that belongs to us. Let me assure everyone concerned, that sooner or later, Lebanon will be divided along sectarian lines and this time it will be for good, what is happening in Syria and Iraq is the division of the Middle East, breaking all the conventions of the colonials, drawing a more real maps, that is commensurate with the realities on the ground. So buying or no buying, some things will simply revert back b use of force, that simple, Saudi, Iranian, Shiite, what is God's is God's and what is Caesar's is Caesar's.
