In the present scenario of Neros in Delhi fiddling while Indians in various parts of the country are subjected to boundless suffering due to a pesticide,can MOC wash its hand a la Pontious Pilate?
Silence of the Church hierarchy is deafening.Just because Endosulphan has not created much of havoc in the Nazrani heartland stretching from Kunnamkulam to Chathannoor,the Church cannot turn a blind eye to the human suffering in Kasarkode and other parts of this country.Latin&Malankara rites have made a symbolic presence at the one day hunger strike of Kerala CM-apreciable on the lines of something better than nothing.
Of course most of our Bishops are outside India for passion week,and it will be sometime for them to return.A few who happen to be in India and Kerala are now busy solemnising the sacrament of wedding now that the lent is over.But what about the Lay leadership?They have no such fig leaves to hide.
Is our Church afraid of the interests of Planters who cares only about their ringing Cash Chests irrespective of what happens to the human beings?They have nothing to loose in this greatest cruelty to humanity.There is no family of the planter who is a victim of Endosulphan.Victims are mostly from the poorest of poor,who has no place to live which is safe from the evil grip of Endosulfan
Church has a role to play in awakening the conscience of the people against the barbaric act of the Government of India in being a lobbyist for the present avthar of the devil in perpetuating human misery.The act of omission of the Church is aiding and abetting the Satanic forces
