Chalhoub said he doesn’t participate in the Friday reenactment, which he said has become entrenched in Quraye. On social media, he added, it often draws mixed reactions, with some criticizing aspects of it as “backward.”Charbel Joseph Antoun, 37, portraying Jesus, falls to the ground during a Good Friday reenactment of the crucifixion in Quraye, near the southern port city of Sidon, Lebanon, Friday, April 18, 2025.

Chalhoub said his concern is to avoid an overemphasis on mourning. “It’s better to turn the pain into glory and to triumph over pain with God’s power, not just to go and cry,” he said.A statue of Saint Rafqa is displayed in front of a residential building in the village of Quraye, near the southern port city of Sidon, Lebanon, Thursday, April 17, 2025.

“There’s redemption. There’s salvation,” Chalhoub said. “Of course, there’s sadness, but there’s huge hope for triumphing over all that is painful.”The report drew on documents from Vatican departments, U.S. dioceses and seminaries and the Vatican’s U.S. Embassy. Investigators interviewed 90 people, including McCarrick’s victims, former seminarians and priests, and officials from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, responded to McCarrick’s death expressing frustration that the ex-cardinal, although defrocked, never stood trial for “the vast harm he inflicted.”“McCarrick may be dead, but his many victims are not,” said Peter Isely, a founding member of SNAP. “We are still here, still living with the harm he caused — and with the church’s failure to stop him. ”

McCarrick, who was the archbishop of Washington from 2000 to 2006, was one of the highest-ranking U.S. church officials accused in a sexual abuse scandal that has seen thousands of priests implicated. He traveled widely, was a gifted fundraiser and spoke multiple languages.He was a priest in New York City from 1958, when he was ordained, until 1981, when he became bishop of Metuchen, New Jersey. He was archbishop of Newark from 1986 until 2000 and was elevated to cardinal in 2001.
