Lebanese Cardinal Makes Rare Visit To Jerusalem Despite Controversy

[Ynet] The leader of Leb's largest Christian sect has come to Jerusalem despite fierce criticism in Leb, which remains at war with Israel.

A brave man, undeterred by even the threats from Hizb'allah.

Cardinal Bechara Rai, head of the Maronite Catholic Church, is the first Lebanese religious leader to set foot in Jerusalem since Israel captured the traditionally Arab eastern sector in 1967.

The Vatican front man, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed the cardinal had come to Jerusalem as part of a group of senior clergy accompanying Pope Francis on a Holy Land pilgrimage.
