Re: [Goanet] Changing face of Catholicism
I saw the photo, but not sure if the priest are "actually" worshipping Ganesh or just standing before the idol. I must add that I know of at least one family where the wife is a Goan and the husband a Hindu and the children worship both Hindu and Christian gods, going to both the Church and the Hindu Temple. They were young then and now I don't know if they do the same thing. I read a book, Chris as Common Ground -- A Study of Christianity and Hinduism, by Kathleen Healy, with a foreword by Bede Griffiths. Sister Healy examines the issue of both religions in the context of Vatican II, and that "indigenous churches" are now important part of the evolving new Christianity. However, it is mostly understood how Hindus have accepted Christ, though many Hindus do not go to Churches. There was a movement, I don't know what stage ii's now, to have the inculturation of both Hindu and Christian religions into a unique Indian Church system, like the Syro-Malabar stream of Christianity or the Greek or Russian orthodoxy. The great Indian-Christian philosopher, Raimondo Panikkar, called such a unision "mutual fecundation."

[Goanet] Changing face of Catholicism
One wonders and with reference to 'door 2' if there should be a reawakening of inquisition for such cases. BC Its not the changing face of Catholicism, its simply not Catholic. And its simply not Religion, as in 'a particular system' of faith and worship. This is type of thing the RC Church has had to deal with for centuries... Aspects of evolution are up for discussion, but heresy in the first degree is usually quite obvious.. These stories should be uses as an opportunity to reflect, study and deepen faith, trigger an exit, or even start a new religion...

[Goanet] Changing face of Catholicism
Well, I am not surprised at all. Way back in the forties, when I was a student of a Portuguese Secondary School called Lyceum,I vaguely remember a middle aged staunch Catholic priest tell me: ''Eu sou (I am ) bramane, catolico e portugues '' in that order. Of course, there was no question of being a ''Goes'' or for that matter, being an ''Indiano'' of the ''grande e glorioso Estado da India Portuguesa.

An interesting picture of priests worshipping Lord Ganesh was sent to me by a persona non grata. I guess it is the changing face of Catholicism in Goa. In concani one would say - soglem attam boltechz zalam. BC
