If you want it to be a battle, make it a democratic competition that does not produce conflicts that lead to divisions

The president of the Popular Bloc, Myriam Skaf, issued the following statement:

Turning to the deadly social and political moment, we find that we have fought for the election for a higher council for Roman Catholics, God knows who will survive before succeeding in it to head the impeachment of his presidency.

In the face of fierce battles for the Supreme Council elections, we appeal to the wisdom of His Beatitude, Patriarch Yusef Al-Absi, who is blessed to protect himself from the specter of discrimination, seek consensus, and rally the honorable community under his word, seeking an electoral arrangement inspired by the providence of God.

And other things at the moment are almost forming a battle in the air that is not open, and in a country that is fighting with spirit and fighting a pandemic that has become a priority in crises and only corresponds with force. of our deteriorating economic situation. .

Will we be released in such harsh conditions for a side battle? Or is the imminent danger for all members of the honorable sect to seek rescued solutions?

We are in a permanent state of emergency that requires everyone to refrain from division and fragmentation, and we are in days when we need your brilliant experiences, and we realize that in our Supreme Council and our honorable community there are treasures of experts. , doctors and specialists who help to fight humanitarian battles for rescue and not waste time in electoral wars that are not fatal.

But if you want it to be a battle, for it to be a democratic competition that does not produce conflicts that lead to divisions, and from here we turn to Patriarch Al-Absi as an arbitration role, although he is forced to neutralize the parties that did not enter a battle but they corrupted it.

Let’s go back to the norms established by the late Minister Elias Skaf in the Skaf family, including the honorable community and renouncing some rights and customs in favor of the unity of the Catholic ranks.

However, we regret that with the death of Elias Skaf the promises made by some of the participants in this agreement died, since they violated what was agreed until the elections began to be arranged and arranged in the houses of politicians who had no interest. in the sect.

This house, which launched the consensus years ago and was a title to renounce differences, believes that the war today is out of place and in due time, and places its trust in the teacher of the Church to collect the nominated parish and ward off dangers. division.
