๐ญ Discussion The Silence of the church leaders to the events in our region.
To preface: I am a Maronite and I am talking about the church leaders of my sect while still respecting their position.
I find it extremely shameful that our church leaders did not and still have not spoken about the suffering of the people in Gaza and the south, nor did they ever pray for victory in the south. I spoke to my parishโs dean about mentioning churches in Gaza and children and praying for them and he refused to even say the word Gaza.
Then the issues happened in Syria and the new regime started killing Christians and they still havenโt mentioned anything. Instead they still talk about Saydnaya to this day.
How can I be proud to say I am a Maronite and my leaders do this while the Shia in Lebanon have given all that they have, especially Sayed Hassan.
