Dear Goankars, With reference to the e-mail on violence against christians, the following r the reasons, as some of u will will agree with me:-
(1) Our religious leaders have never had a meeting with BJP,or, other political parties, if as alleged, they r responsible for the attacks on the Christian community, although in some instances, it was people of other religious communities who have also attacked christians, but this has never been highlighted. (2) Has it ever been ascertained,by the Catholic Church, whether it is a fact,that certain people belonging to some obscure christian sects are indulging in conversions? (3) since the catholic lay leaders have not vociferously made a demand for reservations for the christian community,as per Mandal commission in govtmt jobs and govtmt educational institutions, hence when christians get attacked, there is no Christian, in the government that can help them. (4) When I have made a request to Priests and catholic lay leaders to help the poor catholics for finance for medical emergencies,ill- heaqlth, they flatly refuse to help, instead, finance is willingly given to the "Missions".Y???? Y Do the christians who have had ancestors for over 100 yrs, who have all been practising our faith, not deserve the largesse of the Church?This is one of themajor reasons for migration of Catholics from India to foreign countries,m as well as Catholics leaving the Church to join Christians sects that help them, in every way they can. ======================= Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 21:30:41 +0530 From: Marshall Mendonza To: goanet Subject: [Goanet] REPORT OF THE PEOPLE?S TRIBUNAL ENQUIRY REPORT- Karnataka violence against Christians Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 This is a report on the Karnataka violence against Christians conducted by Justice Michael Saldanha at the instance of PUCL and Transparency International (Karnataka).
