Well said, Francisco, especially for people with open minds :-)
The flip side is that these and many other religious groups get free reign in the Vatican. Here in the USA some of them agressively seek to change the laws with impunity, like the declaration on US currency "In God We Trust."
Is the RSS and other radical groups blind or simply playing dumb?
What is sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander as well!
They can't have the best of both worlds :(
