| | While the Maronite Church was theologically in the midst of the Church schisms and geographically in the arena of regional wars and conquests, the Maronites, by establishing communities around their monasteries and Churches, formed a kind of 'monastic" community rather than a "political entity" and chose to delegate their leadership to the Church. | | | The Maronite Church like other churches is defined as the body in which believers are united in faith, hope, love and belief in Jesus Christ. | | | Although the Universal Church, of which the Maronite Church is part, believes in the separation of Church and State, this never entails negligence of national affairs, especially when the existence of the people, both the spiritual and physical, is endangered. |

| | The immediate spiritual head of the Maronite church after the pope is the "patriarch of Antioch and all the East," residing in Bkirki, near Beirut. | | | Though their traditions assert that the Maronites were always orthodox Christians in union with the Roman see, there is evidence that for centuries they were Monothelites, followers of the heretical doctrine of Sergius, patriarch of Constantinople, who affirmed that there was a divine but no human will in Christ. | | | The church retains the ancient West Syrian liturgy, even though the vernacular tongue of the Maronites is Arabic. |

| | The Maronites, members of Semitic Christianity, have contributed immensely to the Universal Church, especially in the ascetic perception of their faith. | | | Not only did the Maronite clergy practice ascetic ideals but the Maronite people also were ascetic in one or another of these ways: asceticism and working on the land; asceticism and the quest for knowledge; and asceticism and martyrdom. | | | It states that, historically, asceticism was a fundamental aspect of Maronite monasticism as it evolved. |
