Description
The Syrian Hilarion Capucci and the Pricelss Ransom In September 1983, a dramatic kidnapping took place just outside Beirut. Joseph Khouri, a 63-year-old man with significant connections to the Vatican, was seized from his car and taken hostage. Despite the chaos of war-torn Lebanon, news of the abduction reached the Vatican within two hours, prompting an urgent response. A young American priest, Fr Charles Murr, was called upon to help save Khouri's life. However, due to past conflicts with Church authorities, Murr needed the assistance of a man who had been ostracized by his own community. This unlikely hero turned out to be Hilarion George Capucci, "The Archbishop of Jerusalem in Exile". A story of altruism and personal fortitude emerges from this extraordinary event. This book tells the remarkable true story of Hilarion Capucci's bravery and selflessness during a time of great turmoil.
