Â maronite church

Maronite Church is one of the largest Eastern-rite communities of the Roman Catholic Church, prominent especially in modern Lebanon; it is the only Eastern-rite church that has no non- Catholic or Orthodox counterpart.
Though their traditions assert that the Maronites were always orthodox Christians in union with the Roman see, there is evidence that for centuries they were Monothelites, followers of the heretical doctrine of Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, who affirmed that there was a divine but no human will in Christ.
The immediate spiritual leader of the Maronite church after pope is the patriarch of Antioch and all the East, residing in Bkirkí, near Beirut.

Â Convincing Evidence on Medjugorje

F.J.L.) who recently held the rite of confirmation in three parishes of the Diocese of Mostar-Duvno, is an overt attempt to disintegrate the unity of the Roman Catholic Church in this country and to break its centuries-old bond of communion with the Apostolic See of St Peter.
