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."

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!
