إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday congratulated Lebanon on the formation of Premier Najib Miqati’s cabinet and expressed hope that all the countries in the region would live in peace.
Benedict told Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi that he hoped the government would “succeed since Lebanon is facing great challenges whether due to the local economic crisis” or regional events.
“I send my blessings and love to all the Lebanese people and pray that peace would spread in all Middle Eastern countries,” the pope said.
He also told the Maronite patriarch that the region’s Christians should maintain the best of relations with all citizens in their countries based on Christian principles.
Al-Rahi is at the Vatican to attend the meeting of the Reunion of Aid Agencies for the Oriental Churches (ROACO).

This time the nail in the coffin of March 14 and Mafia Hariri is blessed as it comes from the Pope himself, with Patriarch Al-Rahi preceding the pope with another blessed nail of his own. Finally, the Lebanese Spring will emerge and become a reality.

Le fini, last week the Pope criticized the Syria government I wonder if he also blessed the nails in Bashar's coffin. Or is it your opinion that the Pope is really pro Salafis and Wahhabis.
