The story of a Swamy
Sunday 05 July 2026 a beautful seminar commemorating the 5th anniversary of Fr. Stan Swamy's martyrdom was held. Attended by an undaunted crowd that showed up despite incessant rainfail? Only Question unanswered were the so-called ones who question the system, and challenging the failure of the judicial system and the governance of the country in Fr. Stan Swamy's case. The question to Vatican why is Fr. Stam Swamy not yet beatified? Is the government of India stalling it?
Yes, allegedly the country is corrupt, the politicians are corrupt, the bureaucrats are corrupt, so what are we doing? Expecting justice with seminars, and eloquent, motivating, and praising speeches about Fr. Stan Swamy life and his slefless work amongst the tribal community. Like Fr. Stan Swamy, there are many activists still rotting, incarcerated in filthy jails because of a rotten system. What is the solution? Reminding the audience of a 2029 election is not a solution. As BJP winning and rising to power is questionable and EVM tampering is alleged. My question is, what is the BCS (Bombay Catholic Sabha) or the Church doing to form a political party? If Muslims can do it, why not the Christians. Click the below link

The Bombay Catholic Sabha is more of a Bombay Church Sabha, as has there been any statement from the Sabha regarding any crimes by the clergy? All of the crimes in the public domain? The ones that made national headlines were the Bishop Franco Mulakkal rape case and the allegations of Bishop William fathering a child. Recently even celebration of St. John the Baptist, San Jao festival, was not allowed by the Parish Priest of Holy Cross Kurla. Shocking was that the Parish Priest lodging police complaint of one of the organizers? What did the Bombay Sabha or the Archbishop do? Bombay Catholic Sabha should be for the Catholics of Bomay and not for the Church of Bombay.
Fr. Stan Swamy and many others will die as martyrs giving up their lives. Even expecting a court judgment confirming Fr. Stan Swamy's innocence would be something that could be discussed only every year at a seminar on his death anniversary. How many statements of strong condemnation on Fr. Stan Swamy's murder by the system were announced by the Vatican or the Head of the Jesuit Institution?
Why has the Catholic Church or the Vatican not taken this case to the International Court of Justice? What is stopping the BCS or Catholic Church in India from demanding the canonization of Fr. Stan Swamy as a Saint? If the Vatican could recently canonize a Saint of the Internet, they can definitely beatify Fr. Stan Swamy to be later cannonise him as a Saint of Tribal India. Mother Theresa was beatified in two years after her death, then why not Fr. Stan Swamy? As questioned in my earlier blog, is it because she is white and he is brown? Fr. Stan Swamy's beatification would be the biggest blow of shame to the BJP government, for the killing of Fr. Stan Swamy.
In fact, at the seminar, an opening speech by a priest had a slip of the tongue and he even addressed Fr. Stan Swamy as 'Saint Stan Swamy'. Time the clergy, BCS and the laity not slip their tongue and let their tongue question the Vatican. Unless the waiting for tongues of fire to drive courage on the head?

Convert Convert Convert
Two shocking stories of Catholic conversions from Don Bosco Shelter, Mumbai, were reported in the news recently. Stories that the media and rogue religious bodies are silent about. These are the stories of Omkar Shinde, Shankar Jadhav, and Sunil Kharge.
Omkar Shinde and Shankar Jadhav were orphans from govt. orphanages who had to leave after they turned 18. The question arises: what happens to these orphans from such orphanages after they cross 18? Why is the Catholic-run Salesian congregation, Don Bosco Shelter, taking in such orphans after they are 18?
It is a no-brainer that these are planned conspiracies of the Catholic Church, especially the Salesian congregation, to convert such orphans. How many have been converted needs to be investigated. They are being converted to be good and honest human beings and citizens with education, love, and a home that nourishes them with a roof and care. Needless to mention fed with rice also. Rice Bag is a derogatory term used to describe the Christian religious institutions and the community.
These converts have become police constables. This is a threat to the alleged corruption in the Police Force. When people from such challenging backgrounds make it to positions of law and order, it is a direct attack on corruption. They are products of extreme poverty and abject deprivation, and have been converted to be good citizens of India.
Surprising is intelligentsia like Anand Ranganathan, and media celebrity losing credibility, Arnab Goswami, who scavenge and investigate negative stories of the Christian missed this story of open conversion happening at Don Bosco Shelter. Both products of a part or their entire education from Christian educational institutions.
The frustration of some media and some in the system is because of the shaming and belittling of the Christian community that neither instigates the community nor instigates many towards them? Don't they realise this is a community that offers the other cheek when slapped on one cheek? A community that does not mind being crucified by the nails of the media and intelligentsia. They worship a God who was crucified, killed, and resurrected. Not extinct like the dinosaurs, as Arnab described them in a recent news telecast, where he kept repeating: "Convert, Convert, Convert."

Little does he realize that by the time he crowed like a cock thrice "Convert, Convert, Convert", many who would have been abandoned have been saved. Like Omkar Shinde, Shankar Jadhav, and Sunil Kharge, I take pride in being a product of a Salesian Institution, Don Bosco's Matunga, which converted the whatever little best in me in making me....me
Robbing Paul to Pay Peter
The recent theft at Ram Mandir has corroded faith and raised serious questions about those responsible for temple administration and fund management. And this is happening across all religions. There are allegations of funds being used for terror activities or for forced or lured conversions.
Does God need a place of worship? That’s another question. If God does need a place of worship, does God need your money? If God needs your money, are we paying God or bribing God to give us more prosperity and money. Then hope for a cyclical chain of God giving you and you giving God a portion back?
The justification given is that the money collected is used for charitable purposes: to care for the underprivileged, for those needing medical care, for funding the education of the poor, and for providing food rations.
But for all this, do we need intermediaries of God to do these noble actions? Did God appoint these religious leaders or caretakers?
The lifestyles of these religious leaders are something that is openly, blatantly, and shamelessly displayed. Who funds their lifestyles? God or you and me?
In the Catholic Church, there is a fund collected called Peter’s Pence which is collected every year around this time. It is allegedly used for two main purposes: supporting the practical operations and mission of the Holy See, and funding charitable outreach and disaster relief in dozens of countries. The Holy See is a sea of wealth.
Which disaster relief has Peter’s Pence contributed to in India? Even if it did, do Indian Catholics need white men in Rome to decide for us Indians?
The Peter’s Pence scam is in the public domain. Why is the Catholic Church in India funding this scam and the scamsters in Rome?
The theft at Ram Mandir was not robbing God, but robbing the underprivileged. Peter’s Pence is actually fooling and robbing Paul the laity to pay Peter, who is now Pope Leo XIV
