CWN - The bishops of the Maronite Catholic Church, an Eastern church in full communion with the Holy See, called for a global plan to repatriate Syrian refugees.
At least a million Syrians have fled to neighboring Lebanon, a nation of 6.1 million.
“Despite our solidarity with the refugees, the Lebanese hope that the process will be reconsidered in order to ensure a safe return in their own country by setting aside the various political positions that hinder the desired solutions,” said Cardinal Bechara Boutros al-Rahi, the Maronite patriarch, according to a Fides report.
