See point 2 below (but depends on 1): Christianism in Kerala dumps the communist horse it's been riding in the hope of finding that the BJP may be better for implementing the christian agenda. Look at how they refer to the Vedas, Upanishads as 'Indian' and that Dharmic philosophy, literature and science being merely 'Indian' are therefore also catholic heritage, which they will never be.

New Delhi: The Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) has come out openly against the state's ruling Left Democratic government in the run-up to the general elections. In a pastoral letter prepared by the KCBC, <b>the church has asked Christians to "not vote for those</b> preaching atheism and indulging in violence."
This is the second major Church-administered blow for the Left Front in Kerala. The Christian body had earlier asked members to use every opportunity to campaign against the CPM before the elections. The joint pastoral letter asking people to "vote against atheists" (read Left parties) is being seen as a prelude to the election.
"The letter would be read out at all churches across Kerala during the Holy Mass this Sunday," said Rev Dr Stephen Alathara, KCBC spokesperson. While the missive doesn't specifically criticise any political outfit, Church members say the contents refer to the Marxist-rule in the state.
"Christians have been abused and tortured like never before under the LDF rule," Alathara said. "Last year Church-run institutions were ransacked across the state by the Left's youth outfits. The government had also introduced textbooks as part of the social science curriculum of standard seven and eight claiming that there was no such thing as religious faith our God. The government is questioning the existence of the church to propagate atheism."
The KCBC's hostility would add to the woes of a troubled Left Front, which is battling anti-incumbency and factionalism. Senior leaders conceded that the LDF may not win more than 10 seats in Kerala.
Interestingly, the KCBC is equating the present standoff with the "liberation struggle" of 1959 -- the series of events that culminated in the dismissal of the Namboodiripad government. As in 1958, when the Kerala Education Bill sent shockwaves in the Church, the LDF's policies have drawn the Church's ire.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
2. The catholic cardinal Vithayathil appointed by higher-ups to be Head Of Catholic Damage Control and who therefore wrote the christian apologetics book "Straight from the heart" to offset nun Jesme's book exposing what goes on in the christian ranks is now back.
This time the terrorist cardinal is into the catholic hobby of christian inculturation and is lobbying for the BJP now (new book targeted at the flock "It's time to Vote, sheep: Bad CPM, Good BJP").
Count the number of typically-christian lies he utters in the following. There's one obvious one at the very end.

CPI-M is a threat to democracy & India: Book
www.rediff.com/election/2009/mar/27loksabhapoll-cpm-a-threat-to-democracy.htm
As the Lok Sabha poll campaign gathers steam in the Left-ruled Kerala, a top Church official has described the CPI-M as a 'threat' to democracy and warned that India will suffer the same fate as China under Mao Zedong.
'The Marxist party will use all kinds of tactics to strengthen itself in places where it is in power. That they will do throughout India once they get to power at the Centre, will be no different from Mao or Stalin,' says Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil in his book Straight From Heart.
The influential Cardinal, known for his critical views even on the church establishment, says, 'The Marxist fundamentalism is a greater threat than the religious fundamentalism of the BJP. The Navy, the Army and the Air Force will come under their complete control. We can reasonably expect that what happened in China under Mao will happen in India under their rule.'
'Where is the logic of democracy if they are convinced atheists? But if they are atheists against their conscience and belief, then they are not true to themselves. Convinced atheists cannot be democratic. Democracy is based on respect for the individual and on the rule 'of the people, by the people, for the people,' Vithayathil, also the Major Archbishop of the Syro-Malabar Church, says.
The first Communist government of Kerala, Vithayathil says, was dismissed because they took recourse to some Marxist techniques like rule by party cadre when they came to power.
'But even now, it is the party that rules in Kerala and not the government,' the Cardinal says.
Vithayathil, who is also the president of Catholic Bishops Conference of India, says he disagrees with Marxism, mainly on the issue of 'atheism' and their 'use of violence'.
'From my Catholic faith, I sometimes see Marxism as a chastisement allowed by God on the Church for not living what it preaches,' he says in the book.
Catholic Church has often come in conflict with CPI-M-led LDF government on different issues, including proposals of the state Law Reforms Panel on topics like legalisation of mercy killing, small family norm and formation of a body to manage church properties.
Praising the Congress and its allies, the book says, they have 'more respect' for an individual and his fundamental rights.
Putting his views on BJP, the Cardinal in the book says, <b>'The commendable thing about the party is that they want to preserve the good aspects of Indian culture like modesty of women and promoting certain moral values, for which they would opt for stricter media censorship. For them religion is very important and they support democracy and human rights.
'Besides protecting ancient culture and heritage of India, like Vedas, Upanishads and the great philosophical teachings to the six systems of Indian philosophy, BJP respects, preserves and promotes knowledge of Sanskrit and Ayurveda.'
The party is a 'great defender of our many achievements of the past', the book says.</b>
(Who is 'our'? India's christos haven't achieved anything - well, unless one counts their inviting the christoPortuguese, cheering the various christocolonials, stealing temple lands, conspiring against Hindu Dharma, murdering our people including Swamis.)
However <b>the saffron party, Vithayathil says, 'has forgotten that Catholics of the country also regard Indian culture, philosophy, literature and science as their heritage.</b> <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>The Catholic Church will certainly protect them just as it has responsibly protected and preserved Greek and Roman cultures.'</span><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->I.e. the christoliar who stated "Hindu civilisation is Catholic heritage" is promising that christianism will murder the Dharmic tradition in the same way it has murdered the Greco-Roman civilisation of the Hellenes.
Any estimate on how many gullible Hindus will be infatuated with this cardinal for his:
- christian apologetics book "Straight from the heart"
- plugging for BJP (you bet this decision would have come from higher up in the Roman church's hierarchy)
- "wonderful admission" that catholics now have a claim on Hindu scriptures and Dharmic civilisation. This is actually <i>theft</i>, but Hindus want to be robbed and stabbed. It's only their 'christian brethren' after all. "We must share". Ignoring for the moment that Dharmic civilisation is simply not shareable with terrorist ideologies, Why? When christianism has murdered peoples and civilisations all over the globe and continues to murder our own, why must we share? Why embrace the terrorist ideology's latest sinister overture (flowery words covering stabbing knife) with open arms?
C'est debile.
