Why Churches are sold out?

Why Churches are sold out?

The Christianity has been the most powerful religion in the world with the support of rulers doinating and manipulating the world politics.

However, their degrading tendencies in personal life, family life, husband-wife relationships, the teen-age pregnancy, demoralizing pre-marital sex, homosexuals, contraception, drinking, drugs, prostitution and ther sins have been paradoxical with the claim of their Superior religion.

Now the news is coming about the sale of Churches:

Catholic churches to be sold off

Churches are to be put up for sale in a reorganisation of the Roman Catholic Church in Devon and Cornwall.Thirty four parishes in Devon will be cut to 23 and 15 parishes in Cornwall will become nine.

It will mean some parishes will lose their church, while in others a parish priest will serve more than one church.

The church says the closures will not be “wholesale" and money from the sales will be put into other aspects of church activities.

2. In UK too Churches are sold, as there are no people to maintain

3. The Los Angeles settlement is the largest ever by a Roman Catholic archdiocese since the clergy sexual abuse scandal erupted in Boston in 2002.
Among the largest total payouts was $100 million in 2004 by the Diocese of Orange County to settle 90 claims. The Diocese of Boston agreed in 2003 to pay $84 million for 552 cases, the same figure the Diocese of Covington, Ky., agreed last year to pay to settle about 360 claims. Facing a flood of abuse claims, five dioceses — San Diego, Tucson, Ariz.; Spokane, Wash.; Portland, Ore.; Davenport, Iowa — sought bankruptcy protection.

4. In USA, the situation appears to be different:

Payout Is Bittersweet for Victims of Abuse

Outside the courthouse where a judge approved a $660 million settlement on Monday, sexual abuse victims shared feelings of betrayal.

5. Indians cannot keep quite about what has been happening in USA, UK or elsewhere in the age of globalization, liberalization and privatization with the impact of westernization, modernization, free-society etc. Similar types of social, religious, economic and other issues may crop up here also.

Therefore, the religious persons have to be careful in dealing with public nowadays.

    This is very interesting.

    Now India, Indians and others look at America as their role model.

    But, American society has degraded as could be seen from the above details.

    Why and how our print and electronic media plays a second fiddle to America and Europe?

    Another important point is, if one sold Church is purchased by Hindu and builds something there, a house or even a temple there, tomorrow, the news would be “Church purchased by a Hindu and Temple constructed there”

    Some years, later, it would be that “A Hindu built a temple on the site of a Church”.

    Then, “A Hindu built a Temple demolishing a Church”!

    So people should be careful about reporting, history writing and recording contemporary events for the progeny.

    It still does not give us any pleasure to note that every day, there are new mosques and churches springing up in India and large-scale conversions are going on, in spite of the churches closing down elsewhere.
    We should mobilize public opinion to drive away anti-Hindu and pseudo-secularists !

    This has been only due to fear-psychosis.

    At one side, they go on accuse Hindus for all imagined or real social aberrations.

    At the other side, they go on build Churches and mosques, because, they could not match Hindus with the philsophy or democratic religion.

    Conversion is only fooling Hindus.

    As already pointed out by Vedaprakash in his earlier postings, they do not believe in their Gods in this case, but Supreme Court of India.

    Thus, the indirectly accept their defeat and also prove the ieefectiveness of their so-called powerful Gods, Super Gods, the ONLY-GOD, jealous God and so on.

    During the British period, they rounded up huge areas and now they are selling and getting crores of INR in India.

    And this money is used only against Hindus.

    Anyway, what they spend here is questioned there by their own acts of sin.

    Of course, the Indian christians have been also progressing and advancing competing with the American counterparts, as we read from newspapers, here also Buishops and priests are indulged in rape, swindling money etc., all in the name of Jesus Christ!

    AVE MARIA!!!

    do not forget that the whole of East India - Assam, Tripura, Manipur, Ar.P, Meghalaya, etc are all flooded with Christian priests proselytizing actively.
    When conversions take place, all the authorities close their eyes.
    When there are problems, due to local protests, Xians raise international fora to claim that they do not have rights to convert !! And UPA has the audacity to even give Padma awards to wives of such criminals !!
    These (conversions) must be checked immediately.
