Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
If you aren’t on this Catholic Word of the Day Ping list and would like to be, please send me a FReepmail.
Among the currently-used Catholic rites in India are Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara. The history of both Catholicism and non-Catholic Christianity in India is *very* complex, perhaps even more than Central and Eastern Europe’s. The very early evangelization of some Indians left a unique Christian communion, “Thomas Christians,” and the influence of Hinduism is also an important feature.
Ethiopia has some of the same historical curiosities, with the addition of a Semitic language and a very substantial Moslem population. That reminds me, I need to email my priest in Ethiopia with the latest baby pictures!
