Michael II Fadel (1710-1795), (or Mikhail Fadil, (アラビア語:ميخائيل الثاني فاضل)), was the Maronite Patriarch of Antioch from 1793 to his death in 1795. ==Life== Michael Fadel was born in Beirut, Lebanon in 1710. Ordained priest at 21 years, from 1741 to 1753 he served the community of Acre where he erected a church. In 1754 he converted to Christianity the first member of the governing Shihab family. In 1762 Michael Fadel was appointed and consecrated bishop of Tyre and Patriarchal Vicar by Patriarch Tobias El Khazen,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Portrait of Patriarch Mikhael Fadel )〕 who later appointed him also bishop of Beirut in place of Joseph Estephan. After 1766, under the patriarchate of Joseph Estephan, Michael Fadel sided with the opponents to the Patriarch led by the Khazen Sheikhes, and he was one of supporters of the suspension of the Patriarch from 1779 to 1784, due to the Hindiyé's issue. Patriarch Estephan, in turn, appointed in 1768 Athanase Scenai and later in 1779 Joseph Najm (or Nujaym) in his place as bishop of Beirut. The solution of the dispute about the see of Beirut occurred only in the synod of 1786 where an agreement was found and Michael Fadel was confirmed as bishop of Beirut. Patriarch Joseph Estephan died on April 22, 1793, but because of a pestilence the bishops could meet only in September. On September 10, 1793 Michael Fadel was elected Patriarch, and he choose to reside in the monastery of Dayr Harrash (in Keserwan District). As his predecessors, Michael Fadel asked the Pope to confirm his election. Michael Fadel anyway died on May 17, 1795 at Dayr Harrash, where he was buried, before the Vatican could confirm him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Fadel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
