Pope Benedict XVI Sunday expressed his concern about the presidential elections rescheduled for Nov. 21, underscoring that it was "crucial" for the future of the country. "The national assembly will be soon called upon to elect a new head of state," the pontiff said, adding that the ballot was "crucial for the survival of Lebanon and its institutions." "I add my concerns to those expressed recently by the Christian Maronite patriarch Cardinal Nasrallah Sfeir and his wish that all Lebanese can recognise the new president," he said. The ballot has been deferred three times since September 25 amid deadlock on a consensus candidate between parliament's majority bloc and the opposition, which includes factions backed by Syria and Iran.
