In addition, he is the president of the patriarchal committee administering the endowments of St. Mark Patriarchal Monastery in Jerusalem and all properties of the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate in the Holy Land. Therefore, the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate denies all rumors and news claiming that His Eminence Mor Severius Malke Mourad was dismissed from his position, or that the Patriarchate has removed from him any Church authority (immunity), whether spiritual or administrative.
Once again, the Patriarchate denounces the inappropriate way used by Palestinian security services to arrest His Eminence Archbishop Mor Severius Malke Mourad, causing a personal insult to His Eminence, as well as, to the Patriarchate and to the entire Syriac Orthodox faithful in the world.
