The day christians start killing, raping, burning people alive, destroying
homes and property, vandalising places of worship, intimidating and
threatening weaker sections, causing communal riots, spreading hatred, etc.
you will find me taking as strong a stand against such actions as I am
doing against hindutva atrocities.
Mario responds:
Marshall,
You are still not getting it.
This thread is not about the atrocities committed by Hindutva extremists.
It is about atrocities committed by Catholic priests, while a Catholic Cardinal
did nothing about it.
I think you are old enough to walk and chew gum at the same time.
Evil is evil, regardless of who commits it.
As a Christian you have no credibility when you focus on the atrocities of
others while so doggedly trying to whitewash the atrocities within your own
religion.

Are women in our homes treated any better? Please read the surveys conducted by
various magazines and you will find that a large number of women in India are
treated like servants in their homes.
Mario asks:
So, why have you ignored this issue till now, which presumably affects far more
people than the targets of Hindutva extremists?
On the same subject:

People like this will detract you and sap the energy from your very being. My
advice to you, please continue with exactly what you have been doing because
there are lots of people in the Diaspora that appreciate the information you
provide.
Mario observes:
What? Now we have an Indian woman deflecting attention from the abuse of
Indian women, including Catholic nuns by Catholic priests?
BTW, nice to see that the Hindutva extremists have enabled you to discover
Christianity again:-))
