Maronite Patriarch, Cardinal BesharaRahi, held a mass on Sunday at the Church of Saint Joseph-Ayntoura in celebration of Saint Joseph, whereby he urged officials to put a halt to corruption, bribery and clientelism. The mass was attended by Apostolic Nuncio, Gabriele Caccia, and a host of current and former ministers and deputies, among other personalities. “We call on the political group and officials in the public domain to lead the state and public administrations out of partisan, political and sectarian subordination, so that loyalty to a ‘leader’ could be replaced with loyalty to the country and the interest of citizens”, said the Patriarch.
