Basilio: a few Catholic priests and nuns get killed, and that is painfully sad; the murder of a priest or a nun in the hands of a non-catholic is not NECESSARILY an act of persecution.
Santoshbab: Basilio has presented a reasonable case on the issue of religious persecution in India. It should throw some light on why the claims of some Indian and foreign religious organizations/activists about WIDESPREAD religious persecution in India ...... QUESTIONS: Granting that there might be activist generated hyperbole, 1: what, dear Basilio, would convert any 'murder of any Catholic priest or nun ( or a non religious Catholic person) into an act of Religious Persecution? (Basilio probably did not read my question the first time around) 2: have such events occurred / been occurring in India ? 3: are Catholics in certain parts of India being threatened / assaulted because of their faith? 4: are Catholics in certain parts of India being forcibly re-converted? 5: is ONE solitary case or are Ten or a Hundred cases too few to get worked up about ? 6: are we saying that the (reported) Law in some Indian states preventing voluntary conversion from Hinduism, constitutional or even moral? jc
