Archpriest Angelous Ishāq, secretary for Pope Tawadros II, has denied rumors that the Pope, in an interview with a journalist from Washington Post, said that the Constitution is racist and discriminates between people. Archpriest Ishāq added that the Pope stressed that the Constitution should be appropriate for all segments of society. The Archpriest asked the journalist to review his recordings of the interview with the Pope to be certain of his claims (Jirjis Fikrī, al-Shurūq al-Jadīd, Feb. 17, p. 4). Read original text in Arabic .
