This guy struck me as being really profound ... in an almost
mischevious manner! He really had some gumption in making his point.
Maybe someday he'll be regarded as the Asian, 20th century, Joan of
Arc. Useful links on the Wikipedia. But take a look at his brother

Each time the guru sat for worship with his students the ashram cat would
come in to distract them, so he ordered them to tie it when the ashram was
at prayer.
After the guru died, the cat continued to be tied at worship time. And when
the cat expired, another cat was brought into the ashram to make sure that
the guru's order were faithfully observed at worship time.
Centuries passed and learned treatises were written by the guru's scholarly
disciples on the liturgical significance of tying up a cat while worship is
performed.

A tourist says to his guide, "You must be proud of your town. I was
especially impressed by the number of churches in it. Surely the people
here must love the Lord."
"Well" says the cynical guide, "they may love the Lord, but they sure as
hell hate each other."
Like the little girl who when asked, "Who are pagans?", replied, "Pagans
are people who do not fight about religion."

Book authored by the priest.
Fr. Anthony de Mello, S.J. (1931-1987) was a Jesuit priest and
psychotherapist who became widely known for his books on spirituality.
He hosted many spiritual retreats and was considered by some a gifted
public speaker. Father de Mello was born in Santa Cruz, a suburb of
Mumbai in India. He traveled to many countries to study and later to
teach, most notably Spain and the United States.
De Mello established a prayer center in India. He died suddenly in
1987. His works are still in print and additional writings were
published after his death.
Anthony and the Church
In 1998, after his death, some of his opinions were condemned by the
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger,
who later became Pope Benedict XVI, wrote for the Congregation:
'But already in certain passages in [his] early works and to a greater
degree in his later publications, one notices a progressive distancing
from the essential contents of the Christian faith. ... With the
present Notification, in order to protect the good of the Christian
faithful, this Congregation declares that the above-mentioned
positions are incompatible with the Catholic faith and can cause grave
harm.' [1]
The ban was later lifted, though the books were supplemented with the
insertion of a caution: 'The books of Father Anthony de Mello were
written in a multi-religious context to help the followers of other
religions, agnostics and atheists in their spiritual search, and they
were not intended by the author as manuals of instruction of the
Catholic faithful in Christian doctrine or dogma.' [2]
Regardless of the ban and the later caution, his writings are
available in many Catholic book shops and he is read and respected by
many Catholics and other Christians.
