Papal plays!

When the Rajasthan government passed a law against forcible conversions, the Christian organisations made a big hue and cry about it and the Papacy summoned the Indian Ambassador in the



Vatican City



and registered its opposition against the proclamation of such rules, calling them as attack on religious freedom. If this was not meddling in others’ affairs, then heaven knows what is.

The Papacy’s contempt for Hinduism came out in the open when it openly welcomed the declaration of


Hindu Kingdom






Nepal


as a ‘


Secular






Republic


‘. It has also followed it up with increased evangelical activities with the connivance of the Maoists, who have captured power in



Nepal



.

The Maoist-Missionary nexus has been already established in northeast resulting in complete Christianisation of three states and the same has been going on in Orissa and despite the stiff resistance from Hindu organisations like the RSS and the VHP. Just mull over this: The Christian population in Orissa has increased from 1.7 percent to 2.4 percent within two decades. The tribal district of Khandhamal alone accounts for 13 per cent of Orissa’s Christian community.




This could not have been possible but for the sustained conversion activities. It is a fact that the Churches and missionaries take the help of Maoists to fight Hindu organisations and


Vatican


must be aware of it, as it organises enough funds for such activities in the name of education and health care.

Also, with the blessings of the Papacy, many coercive methods have been operationalised by the Christian Missionaries and the ‘inculturation technique’ is one among them. Adaptation of Hindu cultural customs and rituals to propagate Christian faith has been vigorously going on and it has reached its height with the release of ‘Indianised’ New Community Bible (NCB), which includes references from the Vedas, Upanishads, Mahabaratha and other Hindu scriptures.

This inculuration modus operandi is devious strategy, literally mocking at the Hindu majority and provoking them to beyond the limits of tolerance. Such provocations, added with militancy, insult the Hindu majority forcing them to react. Even then, they do not stop their activities and continue with the help of the pseudo-secular media and political parties.

A new breed of missionaries tied to expansionist evangelical movements from the


US


, GB and


Australia


are playing havoc in tribal and coastal areas. The destruction caused by the 2004 tsunami was fully utilised by these missionaries to convert many coastal belts of Taminadu.




They constitute ‘Indian Evangelical Teams’ (IET), which are very aggressive and unprincipled in nature. The Christian Science Monitor reports that these IETs have already planted 2000 Churches and they have set a goal of 7,777 Churches by the end of 2010.

The


Vatican


, which called for the evangelisation of


India


in 1999, cannot claim to be ignorant on all these matters. The Pope, who had said that St.Thomas had never landed on Indian soil, has also agreed to promote the movie on St.Thomas being produced by the Madras Archdiocese, knowing pretty well that a total distortion of history and inclusion of false history has been a part of the making.
