Dear Friends, Let us be more careful when talking about the 'crimes' of the people of the by-gone centuries. It is difficult to assess their thought patterns and beliefs. With the lights that we have today we cannot condemn the people of yesterday. It is unfair and uncouth to call St.Francis Xavier a 'murderer'. We have to understand him. There is a lot of truth in what he has written in his letters. There is also misunderstanding on his part as far as the Eastern beliefs are concerned. Let us act positively to do away superstitions and live in the light of reason and faith...
