The Catholic Clergy are not interested in utilizing Church assets, resources & vacant properties for the benefit of our poor catholics. The Catholic Schools are not prepared to reserve 25% seats in catholic schools for our poor catholics. The Catholic Hospitals are giving concessions to poor non-catholics but not to our poor catholics. The Catholic Missionaries are using their foreign funds to serve poor non-catholics but not our poor catholics. All in all nobody cares for poor catholics. No Wonder many of our poor catholics have left the catholic hurch. Where there is no life, there is no attraction. A dead person is still dead, no matter how good the undertaker makes him look. So also a church which does not care about the poor parishoners.
The Bishops, Priests, Missionaries will not bother about the opinion of the lay catholics. The lay catholics should set up their local associations to help each other and train each other in Combat so that the lay catholics are prepared for self-defence as and when the enemy decides to replicate the anti-christian kandhmal experiment.
