Syncretic Revival at St. Maron’s Shrine Exposes Neo-Church Apostasy
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) reports on a Maronite “Mass” celebrated at Syria’s ancient St. Maron’s Shrine after a 15-year hiatus. The event, organized by the Maronite Scouts, drew 80 participants who visited war-damaged sites including St. Simeon Stylites’ Church. Father Ghandi Mahanna allegedly preached that “the true presence of God is found in every human heart,” reducing Catholicism to sentimental humanism while Syrian security forces provided escort. This saccharine display exemplifies the conciliar sect’s betrayal of sacramental theology for naturalistic performativity.
