Conception of the Union in the Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch (1622-1672) by Mgr. Abdallah Raheb

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 08:42:25 -0400

After the Great Schism of 1054, the Patriarchate of Antioch was the only one of the strictly speaking Orthodox patriarchates[1]that entered into communion with the See of Rome, a communion remaining until today.[2] However, the entire patriarchate did not accept the union movement, and a sorrowful division took place within it; [3] this division had painful consequences and these remain until now. Moreover, even those who accepted the union always had problems with the See of Rome for most of the time Rome was skeptical about the purity of their Catholicism and even treated them as Gallicans and “half schismatics.” [4] This dissertation, which does not pretend to be exhaustive, could shed some light on the reasons for this mutual misunderstanding throughout the more than 250 years of union. This study is limited to a very important period in the upheaval of religious ideas in the Near East.

In Memoriam: Eulogy to May Murr, Lebanese poet, historian and pillar of culture

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:39:11 -0400

“As you know by now, Phoenicia has lost a prominent scholar and a great advocate, being our beloved May Murr, the poet, historian and Phoenician “teacher” from the School of Thought of our own poet the great Said Akl. In these moments of sadness, we pray for her Soul that is resting beside our Lord, the Creator and the Protector of the faith and our eternal Culture. I thought that few words may not suffice for a great Phoenician star that has ceased to shine on earth. These words may not be sufficient in the light of her deeds and contributions to our Culture, but as they come from a mourning heart saddened by the loss of a loved fellow Phoenician they may ease the pain of many although not compensate for the loss of a great Phoenician scholar and advocate”.

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 16:59:08 -0400

Byzantine Emperor, Leo III was Maronite, Maradaite, Jarjamite or Syriac Jacobite (or a mix of them). He was one of us, people of the Eastern Mediterranean and not a Greek.
