عودة: لبنان لن يستعيد السمعة الطيبة الا بابنائه الشرفاء

Read this story in English W460

شدد متروبوليت بيروت وتوابعها للروم الارثوذكس المطران الياس عودة، على ان لبنان "لن يستعيد السمعة الطيبة الا بابنائه الشرفاء".

ولفت عودة في عظته في قداس رأس السنة الى انه "لا نريد ان نكون مجتمعا ذكوريا فعلى الدولة التي تنظر الى كفاءة الانسان وليس الى الى دينه الى انتمائه".

واكد ان "البشر متساوين امام الله لو اختلفت اوضاعهم الاجتماعية والثقافية وهم متساوون بالواجبات ايضاً وواجب الدولة ان تحمي حرية ابنائها وان تعاملهم بالعدل والمساواة".

واشار الى انه "طالما ننتمي الى وطن واحد يجب ان تجمعنا حياة واحدة على ارض واحدة".

وتمنى عودة في عظته ان "تكون هذه السنة مثمرة باعمالنا البناءة".

Beautiful speech, we need more men like him. Cardinal al Rahi is inferior to him in many ways.

And you judge that based on political stances instead of spiritual stances.

I judge it based on nationalist and patriotic stances.

He's calling for the end of confessionalism in politics (Taef Accord, etc.); or is he just mumbling?

Why don't you start ending confessionalism in your mind first. There is nothing in your comments (I think I readd most of them) to indicate that you are secular minded and enlightened person. You are the kind that believes that dictatorship of the majority is better than dictatorship of the minority and that is your ultimate goal.

Go back to Israel and stay with your philistine friends.... Stay away from lebanese politics please.

Andre jabbour, chrisushlau is lebanese and he is entitled to voice his opinion regardless if you agree with him or not. Shias are the single largest religious group in lebanon like it or not and chrisrushlau is calling for shias to get their fair share. What is so wrong with that? you dont get to tell him to go anywhere. You yourself should go away. And lol at your name 2al andre 2al, nothing more pathetic than when an arab (yes including maronites) are called english and french names, it simply doesnt suit you so go to france would you and leave lebanon for the real lebanese. Or simply shut up ya andre hahahahaha what a gay name.

No fares, he's Israeli. Don't you ever read his posts? He lives in Zion.

The finest pries in Lebanon. Part of treating everyone equally is everyone pays their electricity instead of bankrupting the country and making others pay double.
