The harvest is rich
Land scams in the Catholic Church
of Bombay, and silence of the top brass of the Church, and the unfortunate part,
only few Catholics are raising their voice along with one priest in the tow. So
these few Catholics and the priest would now fast to death, till Oswald
Cardinal Gracias, the Archbishop of Bombay, resigns. Now neither is going to
happen. Catholics fasting to death due to corruption of the religious head,
sounds weird. Instead they should be fasting to death, for bigger National
Issues. Then coming to the Archbishop to resign. Either he has to be sick like
the last Pope, who used sickness as a reason to resign, which was good, as he
was a part of the crumbling Church, with many Catholics resigning from the Church.
It was just lucky that the Catholic Church got a ‘shot in the arm’ with Pope
Francis. This would be now construed as the Holy Spirit intervening to save the
Church. So where was the Holy Spirit earlier which is depicted as a dove; was it
roosting somewhere? So Oswald Cardinal Gracias resigning will not happen unless
he is shot in the head, which could be a shot in the arm for the Catholic
Church of Bombay. But then how many heads are we going to shoot, as Bombay
Catholic Church never had good leadership and will never have one for a long time,
at least till the second coming.
These Catholics are now demanding
a Parsi Punchayat like structure wherein residential colonies are developed for
the community. With what is happening in the Parsi Punchayat is something to go
by, it is better to be the Catholic Styled Institution where
Catholics don’t know what is happening and don’t care, and feel Catholic by attending
Sunday Mass. Parsis which was the most respected community in India, for its
gentle nature, quirky fun filled madness and not to mention entrepreneurs who prided
as ‘nation builders’. Today the Parsi Punchayat elections is something like
National elections, bribing voters with TVs and refrigerators, office bearers
coming to blows. So if this is what the Catholics are demanding, it would be
another melee of bigger corruption. To make it worse Catholics are not
community like the Parsis. It a wide spectrum of communities from across India ‘trying’
to follow one religion. On a lighter note, trying to emulate the Parsis the Catholics
may end up being a dwindling community like the Parsis, which may soon end up
being an extinct species.
Christianity (especially
Catholics) don’t have any binding or bonding factor of fellowship, as it is
split into communities of Goans, Mangaloreans, Keralities, East Indians, etc,
etc. So this becomes a challenge which has only been somewhat managed successfully
by the Muslims. Now this is not trying to prove the superiority of Islam or
Muslims in India, and not that there are no problems in their community, but
look at it a ‘little bit closer’. With all the vandalism of Churches happening
in recent times; could whichever is the outfit doing it, dare try to do it with
a mosque in the current time. This is neither trying to instigate the Catholics
to resort to violence, but to unite and think collectively. The problem with
Catholic Church at least in Bombay is it has a corrupt bunch of jokers heading
the Church. This leads to frustration of good priests who cannot make a change,
and the laity is too laid back to change. In the process we have ‘external
elements’ who vandalise and threaten the Church, and we ‘internal elements’ who
siphon off Church properties. Add to it, is the audacity of the Archbishop
House office, who state that some of the people who are protesting against the
Church are themselves living in Church properties. What is Church property? It
is Church property because parishioners contribute towards the Church and thus
they have these properties? Who is the Church ultimately? It is the community of
Catholics collectively and not some clown dressed cardinal donning a pointed witch
hat, who thinks he owns the Church.
The problem with the Catholic
Church in Bombay is that the ‘Harvest is rich and the leaders cheat the laborers
in the pew”

Yes, that is the main objection of mine too. Do NOT criticize GOD the HOLY SPIRIT.
Matthew 12:32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the ...
And yes, many other points raised in this blog are correct. My main grouse against many of the existing practices in the Catholic Church, is the collection of Cash during Holy Mass - which is a distraction - but not yet changed by the Local Bishop because of the unaccounted cash being collected thus.
