Re: [Goanet] Changing face of Catholicism

[Eugene Correia]

I saw the photo, but not sure if the priest are "actually" worshipping
Ganesh or just standing before the idol.
I must add that I know of at least one family where the wife is a Goan and
the husband a Hindu and the children worship both Hindu and Christian gods,
going to both the Church and the Hindu Temple.
They were young then and now I don't know if they do the same thing. I read
a book, Chris as Common Ground -- A Study of Christianity and Hinduism, by
Kathleen Healy, with a foreword by Bede Griffiths.
Sister Healy examines the issue of both religions in the context of Vatican
II, and that "indigenous churches" are now important part of the evolving
new Christianity. However, it is mostly understood how Hindus have accepted
Christ, though many Hindus do not go to Churches. There was a movement, I
don't know what stage ii's now, to have the inculturation of both Hindu and
Christian religions into a unique Indian Church system,  like the
Syro-Malabar stream of Christianity or the Greek or Russian orthodoxy.
The great Indian-Christian philosopher, Raimondo Panikkar, called such a
unision "mutual fecundation."

[Goanet] Changing face of Catholicism

[Bernado Colaco]

One wonders and with reference to 'door 2' if there should be a reawakening of 
inquisition for such cases.

Its not the changing face of Catholicism, its simply not Catholic. And 
its simply not Religion, as in 'a particular system' of faith and worship.

This is type of thing the RC Church has had to deal with for centuries...

Aspects of evolution are up for discussion, but heresy in the first 
degree is usually quite obvious..

These stories should be uses as an opportunity to reflect, study and 
deepen faith, trigger an exit, or even start a new religion...

[Goanet] Changing face of Catholicism

[Antonio Menezes]

Well, I am not surprised at all. Way back in the forties, when
I was a student of a Portuguese Secondary School called
Lyceum,I vaguely remember a middle aged staunch Catholic
priest tell me:
''Eu sou (I am ) bramane, catolico e portugues '' in that order.
Of course, there was no question of being a ''Goes'' or for that
matter, being an ''Indiano'' of the ''grande e glorioso Estado
da India Portuguesa.

Its not the changing face of Catholicism, its simply not Catholic. And 
its simply not Religion, as in 'a particular system' of faith and worship.


This is type of thing the RC Church has had to deal with for centuries...

Aspects of evolution are up for discussion, but heresy in the first 
degree is usually quite obvious..


These stories should be uses as an opportunity to reflect, study and 
deepen faith, trigger an exit, or even start a new religion...

Changing face of Catholicism

An interesting picture of priests worshipping Lord Ganesh was sent to me 
by a persona non grata. I guess it is the changing face of Catholicism 
in Goa. In concani one would say - soglem attam boltechz zalam.

RESPONSE: Tomorrow it will be the golden calf; already the cow is
venerated. Will Moses come down and break the tablets? I very much doubt it!
