Vatican suspends Indian bishop over "adoption" row - International Herald Tribune

Vatican suspends Indian bishop over "adoption" row - International Herald Tribune

The Vatican has suspended a bishop in the south Indian state of Kerala after a furore over his adoption of a young woman as his "spiritual daughter," the state's Catholic bishops' council said.

From 6000 miles away ...

Just why would an alien far off figure, who has not visited India even once decide on what Indians do! How welcome would fatwas from the holy mosques of Middle East be in Europe, Your Holiness?

It is this interference in religious practices of Indians that makes the missionaries suspect, in Indian eyes. What further aggravates the Indian is the apparent disinterest by the Indian Government in such meddling by foreign authorities in practice of religion by Indians!And then to listen to them teaching us about religious tolerance ...?

Manubhai ...
