Dear Marco, 'catholic men as drunkards and catholic women selling alcohol in various Hindi movies.'
You have brought up a very interesting debate . 'What & who do you define as anti Christ'? Does being a critic of some ones or portraying some one in poor light make you anti the person concerned? That Every human being has the right to his own opinion was some thing Christ was very much aware off himself. Hence he never hesitated to point out the wrong in society during his times and yet when it cam to stoning the so called woman of low virtues . He requested the person who had never sinned in life to throw the first stone. And yet being the only sinless person in that crowd he refrained from throwing the first stone. So is criticism of Christ or Catholics that make us anti Christ or living lives contradictory to Christ teaching that make us Anti Christ. The next important issue is why do we Christians portray the image 'catholic men as drunkards and catholic women selling alcohol ???' I don't think Catholic women are portrayed as selling alcohol any more yes but catholic men as drunkards still exist . We have no one to blame but our selves . If Christian men in remote villages are more happy lazing around with a bottle while women work hard to get the family going ? What can you expect others to think of us ? Christianity today is not jut confined to Goa. I have seen it in the remote parts of the Himalayas and along Indian borders. No wonder when I asked my husbands P.A What was the population in the North East like ? He promptly replied 'Majority of Christians whose men are drunkard while women work hard even at petrol pumps.' Though he swore with tears in his eyes when he was posted to Goa at the end of his tenure that ' His very much catholic Commander is a 1000 times much better a person than his former Non Catholic Commander.'He has much more regards & respect for his very Much catholic Commanders much more Catholic wife than for his former Hindus Commanders very much Hindu wife. He still is in touch with his very much Catholic commander . The man in concern is a devout Hindu Brahmin.
