<b>RSS accuses new Pope of religious intolerance</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->RSS Chief KS Sudarshan on Wednesday made a scathing attack on the new Pope accusing him of "religious intolerance" and said such mindset leads to conflicts.
<b>He also accused US President George Bush of funding missionaries in India.</b>
Recalling the millennium peace summit of 2000 in New York where 1100 representatives from different faiths signed a document that there should be no bloodshed in the name of religions as they were different routes to one God, he said, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger held a press conference shortly thereafter at the Vatican and released a 36 page doctrine 'Dominus Jesus'.
"The doctrine objected to anyone trying to bring their religion at par with the Roman Catholic church and described it as crossing limits of tolerance.
<b>It said non-Christians cannot get salvation as they don't consider Jesus Christ as the son of God and even non-Catholics would find it difficult to get salvation as they don't consider the Pope as their head", </b>Sudarshan said at a function to mark the second anniversary of devotional television channel Sadhana.
"Such mindset that we are superior to others leads to conflict (Sangharsh),", he said.
The RSS chief alleged that President Bush was trying to propagate Christianity at Government expense.
"Through an executive order, Bush, who is a re-born Christian, gave tax rebate of 80 billion dollars to <b>Christian missionaries in 2002 and set up a special two billion dollar fund for Africa and India,</b> which can be utilised without any question being asked," Sudarshan said.
He also alleged that Christian evangelists Pat Robertson and Billy Graham, who were close to Bush, wanted to convert both India and China to Christianity.
Alleging that <b>a survey project 'Joshua -I' was carried out between 1991-2001 to identify the requirement of Churches in every village and town of India,</b> he said, <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>"CIA also helped in that project and money is pouring in to separate Dalits from Hindus and divide the majority community".</span><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
