Bkerke spokesman Walid Ghayyad and the head of Lebanon's Catholic Information Center denied on Monday media outlets reports stating that Maronite Patriarch Bechara Rai would resign in the near future.
Ghayyad's remarks came to the state-run National News Agency.
Earlier, media reports stated Patriarch Rai would present his resignation within a few days in order to head the Eastern Community in the Vatican.
This comes as patriarch Rai pays a visit to Rome along with other Catholic patriarchs to attend an Eastern churches leaders' summit meeting in communion with Pope Francis.
Patriarch Cardinal Mar Bechara Boutros Rai is the 77th Maronite Patriarch of Antioch, a position he has held since 15 March 2011, succeeding Patriarch Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir.
