Fact Check: The Bishops Were Wrong

After numbers were released that effectively pull the rug under their previous claims, the Bishops should apologize to the Lebanese public.

Finally, the real deity has spoken: Numbers.

Fact 1: There is actually a higher percentage of Christians today in the ISF than there was before, with an increase to 33.04% from 28.85% during previous governments.

Fact 2: The Lebanese law, which the Patriarch had previously approved of allows for 3% of acquisition by foreigners. There is an overall foreign acquisition today of 0.1%. So much for “selling Lebanon out”

Much of the damage is done, and the bishops have a moral duty to apologize. Mr. Sfeir, what would have Jesus done?
