Catholic Online Forum

A middle-eastern co-worker says he belongs to a sect called the Duruzi. He says there are only several hundred thousand of them, mostly in Lebanon, and that they combine the best traits of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. What caught my interest was his statement that his group believes that Jesus is God.

I don't know if my friend was pulling my leg. Has anyone here ever heard of them?

Now on Druzes

There is a good reference to Druzes in the Catholic encyclopedia at the New Advent website.

From the encyclopedia.

Wow! I always joke with my friend and call him "the heretic." He says he is not religious at all. Maybe I can use the info to which you directed me to open some kind of dialogue with him. Thank you very much.
