I am not mixing up issues at all. The extraneous issues were brought into this discussion by you. My question is simple, and it applies to a secular country as a whole, as I have clearly mentioned, not to Fr. Ivo, to you or to any specific individual. Since the statement was made in the context of an interfaith dialogue, it is necessary to ask the question I asked from a pluralist secular point of view. I do not care about the parochial point of view of any particular religion. Cheers, Santosh
