Dear All,

I do not have good news for you today. In Yesterday's Edition of "The Times of India" there was an article written by a Catholic Correspondent stating that the Catholic Bishop's Conference of India have given the Green Light for this "Paganism" which they prefer to call "Inculturation" to be incorporated into the Liturgy and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as soon as possible -- It could happen at Mass on Christmas Day or perhaps in the New Year but they are hell bent on doing it.

It seems that there is nothing that can stop them now. I even quote two auxiliary bishops from the Archdiocese of Mumbai(Bombay) Bishops Percival Fernandes and Thomas Dabre in this article who say that not one of the Bishops in India are against it and according to him if we can have hindu rituals in the Mass in South India and in Ranchi (Eastern India) for several years if not decades then why not in Bombay, Goa, and other places?

I would like to remind my good friend "Voice of India" that yes, sure many Catholics from South India are conservative and traditional but certainly not the Leaders of the Church. I have information that the Head of the Syro- Malabar Church performed a Hindu Ritual in the presence of the Papal Pronuncio at the Papal Seminary in Pune in 2002; besides this Cardinal Lourduswamy and Father Amaloporvadass S.J. a Heretic Jesuit have been performing Hindu rituals in the Mass for years specially since the early 1980's.

There are Churches and Chapels in Bangalore, Pune, and in many towns and cities of South India where Images of Hindu Gods and Goddesses have adorned the walls for years.

Let me end this message by saying, that for years no one has stopped these "Hard Core Heretics" from doing what they have been doing. Now, we have more pagans and heretics in Mumbai(Bombay) like Father (Doctor) Francis Barboza and Father Charles Vas who engage in shameless "Pagan Liturgical Dances" before the altar.

For crying out loud why doesn't anyone stop them. I for one have made a decision that I will walk out of a Mass even on Christmas Day if I find these Pagan Rituals in the Mass-- next who knows what it will be "Satanic Rituals"

If this continues, I will just stay at home and watch the "Holy Sacrifice of the Mass" on E.W.T.N. which is said with respect and is truly solemn.

What is worse, is that Cardinal Ivan Dias-- the Archbishop of Bombay has given his seal of approval to all these pagan rituals and in fact believes that by having these pagan rituals in the Mass the Catholic Church can attract Hindus to join the Catholic Church in different parts of India.

Such foolishness I have never come across in my life. I just have one basic argument for all these "Priests, Bishops, and Religious" who are for all this crap -- Is Christ being Preached in any Hindu Temple, Mosque, or Sikh Temple ?

You will never hear a Mullah, a Hindu Priest, or a Sikh Priest preach about Christ and the Teachings of the Catholic Church in their respective places of worship?

Why then are we bending over backwards and engaging in the appeasement of these "Pagan Religions". Why can't we remain faithful to Christ and his teachings?

Sometimes, i wonder if this gets too bad whether I should seriously consider becoming a "Baptist or a Pentecostal" at least I will hear about Christ and his teachings more often.

Your Comments and Prayers are invited.

In Jesus and Mary,
