Lebanese At The Pope’s Mass In Amman

Pope Francis was in Amman yesterday and held a mass which was attended by around 20,000 people. I happened to be there and I noticed a lot of Lebanese have made trip to see the pope. I was told between 2000 and 3000 Lebanese were expected to come but I'd say they were in the hundreds.

Leave Patriarch Rai Alone!

No one and I insist NO ONE has the right to tell Patriarch Bechara el Rai where he should go or should not, specially if he's going on a religious visit to the Holy Land with the head of the Catholic Church. Enough said! I am glad he put an end to this interview and I urge him to ignore all the media and just go on with his visit.
