Greek-Orthodox Metropolitan Bishop of Beirut, Elias Audi, presided this morning over Sunday Mass at Saint George’s Cathedral in Beirut.

In his homily, the Prelate called for the unequivocal application of the Lebanese democratic system, before addressing the existing problems and challenges.

“The citizen is tired of controversies, tensions and continuous escalation…of racist promises, instability and political, economic and judicial tremors, and yearns for a peaceful life under a stable state, a stable system, and rulers who work for the public interest and the common good, with integrity and sincerity,” Audi emphasized.

He added: “Instead of slandering our system and our laws, let us first apply the laws before enacting others; let us respect the judiciary and refrain from interfering with its rulings; let us respect the constitutional deadlines and entitlements; and let each one adhere to one’s limits and perform one’s duties…In short, let us apply our democratic system and its provisions without equivocation or selectivity, and then study and treat the flaws.”
