CWN Editor's Note: Archbishop Moussa El-Hage, the Maronite archbishop of Haifa and the Holy Land, was recently detained and interrogated by Lebanese security forces for eight hours.
Bishop David Malloy of Rockford (IL), chairman of the US bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace, described the detention as a “cause for alarm.” He added, “We also pray for the protection of the Church in Lebanon and its charitable work as it comes under increasing pressure ... May Lebanon prosper again and enjoy total sovereignty and lasting peace.”
