<And one more point, in response,to Dr. Jos Colao, whose comment I paste below. Given the reforms in all communities, and the calls from all enlightened quarters for a total end to the caste system, anyone who believes in and practices the caste system is that much poorer as a
human being - FULL STOP!>
From Jose Colaco (earlier)
<Please understand that I utterly and absolutely condemn the racist Caste System of India. I also believe that ANYONE who believes in it and practises it - is NOT a Catholic but a Hindu - FULL STOP!>
==================================
Jose Colaco's additional response:
I fully agree with Vidyaghar. Anyone who "believes and practices" the wretched and racist Caste System of India is indeed "much poorer as a Human Being"......and any Catholic who continues to live this practice which is a hangover from the Hindu ancestors - is NOT a Catholic but a Hindu & much poorer as a Human Being - FULL STOP!
The "much poorer as a Human Being" tag may also be applied to
1. Those who molest children ( include here those who neglect their children)
2. Those who Rape
3. Those who steal esp from the poor and disadvantaged
4. Those who kill (except in self defence) and support murder
5. Those who destroy the happiness of new brides by the Dowry tortures
6. Those who dirty up and destroy the place
7. Those who use Religion for violent purposes and to perpetuate distrust among communities
8. The Corrupt, self serving, self-enriching 'social worker' politicians and civil servants
9. Those who use religion as a spring board for political control.
10. Those who support and vote for individuals with Religion-oriented Platforms
etc
good wishes
