Catholic church criticises Marxism in Kerala

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:
Ahead of the CPI-M's state ran into in Kottayam in Kerala, the Catholic Christian church has
come out against Marxist ideals and the LDF government's policies, urging the
people to stay vigilant against the "efforts to distribute atheism." A pastorale missive from senior
bishops read out after the Lord'S Day Mass on Lord'S Day asked the community to resist,
at all costs, the efforts to take away the constitutionally guaranteed rights
to put up and tally minority educational institutions. Reminding the folds of
the autumn of Communist countries, the Christian church dispatch said those spreading
atheism were actually trying to deify people as Gods to the Negro spiritual and moral
peril of humanity. The
pastoral missive was signed by the archpriests of Syro Malabar, Syro Malankara and
Latin Catholic hierarchies. Over the last 1 year, the
Catholic Christian church in Kerala had issued a series of pastorale letters protesting the
LDF government's policies in the instruction field. The Christian church fearfulnesses that the
reforms being pushed by the authorities would take away its control over schools
and colleges run by it. The
CPI-M state ran into is being held on Monday.
