How long is the Catholic Community going to resort to prayers, candle marches and occasional peaceful protests

The system slowly but surely is trying to marginalize the community. They know the community cannot be instigated ro retaliate as Catholics are peaceful as a community. If there was retaliation that is what exactly they would want to have them to fall in the trap. Then twist the narrative against the Christian community.

The folly of the Church is not getting into main stream politics. Christ himself was a politician. The land in his time was ruled by religion. He came to change wrongs in the system. Ending being crucified.

Indian Catholic Church not having (or not wanting) autonomy from the leash of Rome is another price the community is paying in India

There have been cases of Priests in India contesting elections not supported by the Church. Neither the Church encourages or supports laity to contesting elections

Christ was crucified fighting the system. The Catholic community will be crucified of their rights, Church properties, graves for not contesting elections

Praying forgive them Father as they know not what they are doing, will not help. They know what they are doing and they are wanting. It is for the Catholics to pray and play their role is politics
