To all the Alberts, Pauls, Tom Dick and Harry having a grudge against the Catholic Church
Coming from economically backward family, I am highly indebted to the Catholic Church for the upliftment socially, financially etc provided to me and my family. SVP society members have helped us by providing food, clothing, medical expenses. My schooling was done in St. Sebastain School, Dabul, whose Principal, my father used to approach to have my brother and my school fees paid. Moral values, missing in todays selfish world were thaught to us by the clergy and The lay people in the Church. We are financially much better and doing well today. All this due to the strengthening of our foundation by the Church and its lay members. We were helped due to assistance provided to the Church by its lay members. And there are countless more who have benefited from the Church and its affiliates. The Catholic Church, in most of the parishes, publishes in the monthly parish bulletin, its balance sheet stating the income and expenditure its incurs annually. Any blind person would know its difficult to operate such a vast network without finance, which the lay people provide. We have stray dogs barking at the caravans whilst it passes peacefully. The least providers OR those who provide not even a paisa are the ones who make a big noise and detract others from doing good. As Christians we are supposed to provide a tenth of our earnings to the Lord. Are we forced by the Church to pay ? never. Ful na pakdi tumcheam zata titlem ghalia mhuntai sermanvant amche Padri. Unless the guys barking belong to a different denomination and are envious of the Catholic Church flourishing due to the blessings of The Lord. If you have doubts than you can directly help the needy wherever you meet. But let not your right hand know what your left hand is doing for you will receive your reward immediately. They have eyes but cannot see, how relevant this words even today.
