Meeting with the Maronite Patriarch
The Maronite Church uses Syriac and Aramaic languages in its liturgy. Thousands of speakers of these ancient languages were massacred or forcefully Islamized and Turkified by Ottoman Turks and Ataturk’s Turkish Republic.
The Maronite Patriarch was informed about the many offspring of convert Assyrians, Syriacs, Arameans we had met during a recent visit to Germany.
The ageing but always energetic Cardinal Sfeir received the delegation with great cordiality. He listened with interest about the suffering and fate of Christians in Turkey in the distant past and in modern times. We asked for his blessings and assistance concerning this very important issue. He thanked us and invited us to meet him again. His Holiness also gave immediate instructions to have the meeting filmed and distributed to as many Lebanese TV channels as possible.
The one-hour meeting was soon telecast in Lebanon, where viewers were informed of the details of the meeting with the Maronite Patriarch.
