Al-Rahi Rejects Colors of Politicians, Says Committed to Unity

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi rejected on Sunday the political choices of officials stressing his commitment to national unity through the diversity of the Lebanese society.

“When we announce that we are with everybody and we reject being tinted with the color of anyone at the level of political choices, that’s because we are committed to building unity through diversity,” al-Rahi said in his sermon.

“Only the absolute truth brings everybody together,” he stressed.

Al-Rahi rejected the language of politicians that tries to stir differences.

“We can no longer afford a political rhetoric empty of any vision,” he said. “We long to hear the language of a plan that brings a solution to the political and economic crises.”
