| | Maronite Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Maronites are Arabic-speaking Christians, though, like most Lebanese people, their ethnic background is a mix of Phoenician, Assyrian, and other Levantine/West Semitic roots, with some Greek and European elements that may have stemmed from the Crusades or earlier. | | | A source of controversy surrounds the Maronites, as they have been accused of having fully adopted and embraced the Monothelite heresy. | | | Modern Maronites, like other Christians in the Levant, often adopt French or other Western European given names for their children like "Michel", "Georges", "Carole", "Charles", "Antoine", and "Pierre". |

| | This article is a brief overview of the major phases in the history of the Maronite Church and people and their quest for freedom. | | | Since Mount Lebanon had no political organization and was on the periphery of the political life and the religious conflicts of the Byzantine Empire, the Maronites were able to organize their own lives according to the rural feudalism prevalent at the time. | | | They believed in political freedom, which in their views and long experience, is the mother of all freedoms and without which other freedoms -- religious or otherwise -- cannot exist. |

| | This is but a continuation since 1721 of the Patriarchate of Moscow, which had been established in 1589 by the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople, Jeremias II, who up to that time had ruled the Russian Orthodox Church. | | | The pity is that a few years later, by adopting Nestorianism as its national doctrine, it also cut itself off from the Catholic world. | | | The growing weakness of the three eastern patriarchates and of the Archbishopric of Cyprus, whose titular had for a while to take refuge in Cyzicus, soon forced them to seek the moral and material support of Constantinople. |
