Very few Lebanese people from all denominational sects in both Lebanon and Diaspora are not fully aware that the Maronite Patriarch Bchara Al Raei does not represent the majority of the Moronites politically. Although there is no Maronite dispute about his religious role that sadly he is not fully fulfilling as required. Political Al Raei is totally sided with the Syrian-Iranian Axis of Evil and its Lebanese proxies, especial Hezbollah and Micheal Aoun. He does not hide this reality, but on the contrary he shows it boldly and with no shame via his close bishops, political and media advisors, rhetoric, sermons, speeches, stances, visits, alliances etc. Based on these facts and realities Al Raei's meeting yesterday in Rome with Lebanon's Ex PM, Saad Al Hariri must not be seen as a meeting with the representative of the Sunni Lebanese Majority and the Maronites' mere representative. As we understand, the meeting was between Al Hariri and a Maronite religious leader that does not politically represent the majority of his own Maronite people. For Al Hariri we say loudly, Sir, we support you, but for heavens sake enough sins, mistakes and derailments. Meanwhile the majority of Maronites fully support the recently issued Bkerki National Document, but they do not belief that Al Raei will honor it.

Hariri Meets al-Rahi in Rome, Says March 14 to Have One Presidential Candidate
Naharnet Newsdesk 21 February 2014/Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri held talks Friday with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi in the Italian capital Rome, in a meeting that focused on the issue of the upcoming presidential election. "We will seek to hold the presidential election on time," Hariri said after the meeting. "The March 14 forces will nominate one candidate for the presidential elections," he added.
The meeting was held at the Maronite College in Rome and Hariri was accompanied by MPs Samir al-Jisr and Atef Majdalani, ex-MPs Bassem al-Sabaa and Ghattas Khoury, and his advisers Nader Hariri and Daoud al-Sayegh, the ex-PM's office said in a statement. The talks were followed by a closed-door meeting between Hariri and al-Rahi before discussions were resumed over dinner in the presence of the delegation members, the statement added. “I reiterated the importance of the charter that was issued by Bkirki, which is a national charter indeed and represents a roadmap for all the Lebanese,” Hariri went on to say.
Asked whether reports were true about a prearranged agreement between him and MP Michel Aoun over the issues of presidency, cabinet and policy statement, Hariri said: “It seems you know more than I know.”
“Serious talks were held with the Free Patriotic Movement and thank God they were successful and led to the formation of the cabinet. We will continue dialogue because there are several issues that we as Lebanese can agree on. This is what happened when we all focused our efforts to form the cabinet,” Hariri added. “This thing must also apply to the issue of the presidential elections ... All political parties must talk to each other and hold consultations and we must resolve our differences,” the ex-PM went on to say. Hinting that he might be in Lebanon during the presidential vote, Hariri said “I want to see myself in parliament and each of us would raise his hands and vote for the president he wants.”Asked whether the agreement over cabinet will also apply to the ministerial policy statement and about his ties with his allies, Hariri said: “The relation with the allies is a strategic relation and no one can shake it or drive a wedge between us and the Lebanese Forces.”
“I mentioned the LF because even if they are outside the cabinet, they are not outside March 14. They are rather at the heart of March 14 and we are also at the heart of March 14. We will continue this path along with all of our allies,” Hariri stressed. “As for the policy statement, it is being discussed by the ministers concerned and we have a clear stance over some issues but I don't want to talk about that here in Rome,” Hariri said, hoping the deliberations of the ministerial panel drafting the statement will be crowned with success. Earlier on Friday, Hariri met with MP Sami Gemayel in Rome, according to the Phalange Party-affiliated radio station Voice of Lebanon (100.5). Future TV had reported that Gemayel would join the talks with al-Rahi. Sources following up on the preparations that preceded the meeting had told An Nahar newspaper in remarks published Friday that the discussion of the presidential vote “will not tackle names of possible candidates as talks will focus on means to secure holding the election within the constitutional timeframe.”
On Thursday, Hariri revealed that he would discuss the presidential elections with al-Rahi, stressing his rejection of a vacuum in the top post. “I will go to Rome and I will have the opportunity to meet the patriarch … to see what his stance is on the presidential elections,” Hariri told reporters at the end of a two-day visit to Egypt. Hariri reiterated that he rejected a vacuum in the presidential post, saying the elections should be held on time.

سياسياً
ووطنياً البطريرك الراعي لا يمثل غالبية الموارنةالياس
بجاني/22 شباط/14/حقيقة ملموسة ومعاشة ليست بغائبة عن كل لبناني في الوطن الأم
وبلاد الاغتراب لم يقتل الحس النقدي ولا الإحساس الوطني ولا شعلة الحرية والتوق
للسيادة بداخله، الحقيقة هي أن غبطة البطريرك الماروني بشارة الراعي سياسياً
ووطنياً لا يمثل بمواقفه وخطابه وتحالفاته وغربته عن ثوابت بكركي الوطنية، لا يمثل
غالبية الموارنة سياسياً ولا هو ضميرهم ولا يشبههم بتطلعاتهم الوطنية كونه ومنذ
توليه سدة البطريركية يعمل كسياسي وليس كرجل دين. يعمل كرجل سياسة بالمفهوم
والعقلية والثقافة السائدة حالياً في وطن الأرز والتي هي بمضمونها الكلي موروثة عن
حقبة الاحتلال السوري الإذلالية والبغيضة ولا تمت بصلة لا لدور الصرح الماروني
تاريخياً ولا لثقافة الموارنة الاستقلالية والحرة. من هنا إن اجتماع الرئيس الحريري
أمس في روما بالراعي هو اجتماع مع رجل دين يعمل في السياسة بعيداً عن ثوابت بكركي
التاريخية ولا يمثل غالبية الموارنة في السياسة رغم أن لا خلاف مارونياً بالمرة على
مهماته الدينية التي للأسف يهملها ولا يعيرها اهتمامه. ما نريد قوله بصوت عال إن
تصوير الاجتماع اعلامياً على أنه مع ممثل الموارنة، كل الموارنة، هو غير صحيح كون
الراعي متحالف علناً مع فريق سياسي معاد للموارنة وللبنان أقله حتى يومنا هو محور
الشر-السوري-الإيراني. كفى الرئيس الحريري أخطاء وخطايا ... وسامحونا
