Title:
Christian Plight in Orissa
Description: The bishops issued on Aug. 27 evening a list of Christian properties that arsonists have attacked and burned. They listed 41 churches, four convents and 11 other Christian institutions as well as 17 houses. But that list is incomplete. Even the previous night at least a convent and a house were torched, Father Joseph said, adding that Church leaders are making all efforts to get help to the Christians in the state, most of whom are economically and socially poor. Hindu radicals took to violence after a Hindu religious leader, Swami Laxmanananda Saraswati, and five of his associates were killed on Aug. 23 in the states Kandhamal district. Maoists reportedly claimed responsibility for the killings, but some Hindu groups have alleged Christians masterminded the killing, a charge all Christian Churches and denominations have denied. Catholic educational institutions across India have decided to close on Aug. 29 to protest the continuing violence against Christians in Orissa. The 160 Catholic dioceses and 239 Religious congregations in the country together run about 20,275 educational institutions serving more than 10 million students. About 60 percent of these institutions are in villages and serve poor, marginalized rural people. The Church will also observe Sept. 7 as a day of prayer and fasting for Christians in the eastern Indian state, the CBCI announced at a press conference in New Delhi on Aug. 26.
