Maronite Sect Revives Paganized Liturgy in Apostate Syria
The EWTN News portal (November 9, 2025) reports the celebration of a “solemn Mass” at the ruins of St. Maron’s shrine in Syria by the post-conciliar Maronite group in communion with the Vatican antipopes. The event – organized by the “Maronite Scouts” under “Fr.” Ghandi Mahanna – allegedly drew 80 participants to sites including the damaged cave chapel of hermit Toufic Ajib and the Church of St. Simeon Stylites. Security forces reportedly escorted this exercise in religious nostalgia, with pilgrims declaring “Syria was beautiful, and still is” – a telling admission that their faith resides in earthly nationalism rather than the supernatural reign of Christ the King.
