And now that they are adults, at least in body, it seems to be too late.
Take Indian ‘Lynching‘ culture. Or lynchings anywhere. It is Never a One-to-One business. They just don’t have the Courage. Because what they were taught, in their families, or the ‘church,’ has been just Crap. It did not make them ‘Men.’
[ The Men among us would understand, and would not take Offence. ]
Take a Look at this:

A Great Nation, announcing packages worth 20 Lakh Crores, supposedly worth 10% of the GDP, (While NONE of earlier ones have been honoured), cannot and will not Care about, Reaching its Labour Force Home.

Had been taking a 3 month long rest, and have decided to Start Again, and Happy to do so.
Having decided to do so, nearly had a Crash (of the mental kind), an Absolute Crash, of the type which had made me give a letter of resignation from the Priesthood in 1987 to my Bishop, (from which I came back Real Quick, Thank God, in a couple of months).
This is what had taken me to the Brink:
Things are Not going Well in India. Unemployment is having its Deadly Dance, People are Struggling to Live, and the #politicos, true to the old principles of ‘Raj tantra,’ the ‘art’ of (remaining) kings, politics of today, have taken the Country to the edges of Secession, by things called #CAA and #NRC. More on these later.
Those who had been protesting against it, have been made to have a Real Taste of Democracy. See videos (Violent).
What I found Worse than these was that a Small Child of 15 months was separated from her Parents because they had gone out protesting, and were jailed by the #police. As I had written in Facebook:
The parents of the Baby of 15 months have been arrested by the #police. Her relatives are taking care of her.
The Child is repeatedly saying ‘Aao,’ which means ‘Come,’ calling her Mother.

This made me (Violently) Mad at God, again. …I remember having prayed that I wanted this Baby united with her parents.
It has happened. (It does not happen in every case).
God’s Not Dead.
I feel like Living Again.
Happy New Years, Folks. Much Love to All. More later.

Besides my trying to Recover my Energy by Reducing my Output, Nicked my finger while trying to sharpen a knife. …Like all Babies, it feels much more like a ‘Cut’ finger.
End result: ONE finger typing for Emergencies like now; and Much Reduced Output.
Do bear with me. Thanks and Love and Regards to All.

I like pope Francis. Really a Good man.
But he Should Stand up, and Speak out, More Powerfully, maybe like #modi of India!
I am thinking of the Mexican children in their hundreds, if not the Thousands, getting seperated from their parents, and held in Cages!
The pope, @Pontifex,has NOT spoken on that.
When (St) Peter was in the wrong, (St) Paul Corrected him. See Acts 15. St. Joan of Arc and St. Teresa of Avila have done the same, to name just two.
When bjp fellows say Whatever modi does is right, We call them ‘Bhakts.’ What about Us? 
The pope, bishops and priest should Speak out More Powerfully against Wrong and Injustice. The Whole Bible is about that.
எனக்கு நமது பாப்பரசர் பிரான்சிசை பிடிக்கும். வீடியோவில், இக்குழந்தையோடும், மற்ற குழந்தைகளோடும் நடந்து கொண்ட விதம், …குழந்தைகளோடு இறைவன் தாமே பேசுகின்றார் என்று சொன்னது, மனதை தொடுகின்றன.
ஆனால், அமெரிக்காவில் மெக்சிகன் பிள்ளைகள் தங்கள் தாய் தந்தையரிடமிருந்து பிரிக்க படுவது, கூண்டுகளில் அடைக்கப்படுவது போன்றவற்றை பற்றி இவர் பேசவில்லை.
பீஜேபியினர் மோடி என்ன செய்தாலும் சரி என்று சொல்லும்போது அவர்களை ‘பக்தர்கள்’ என்கிறோம். …நாம் எவ்வாறு இருக்கிறோம்?
பேதுரு தவறு செய்த போது, பவுல் அவரை எதிர்த்தார். காண்க அப்போஸ்தலர் பணி 15. புனித Joan of Arc, திருச்சபையில் தவறு நடந்த போது சுட்டி காட்டினார். அவிலாவின் புனித தெரேசம்மாலும் இவ்வாறு செய்திருக்கிறார்.
பாப்பரசர், பிஷப்கள் மற்றும் குருக்கள், தவறுகளுக்கு எதிராக வல்லமையோடு பேச வேண்டும்.
मुझे पोप फ्रांसिस बहुत पसंद हैं. इस वीडियो में इन बच्चों के साथ उनका बर्ताव, यह कहना कि ईश्वर बच्चों से बातें करते हैं, आदि, बहुत प्रिय बात है.
पर अमरीका में मेक्सिकन बच्चों का उनके माता पिता से अलग किया जाना, पिंजरों में बंद किये जाना आदि पर हमारे पोप मौन हैं!
मोदी जो भी करें, कुछ लोग उन सभी चीजों को अच्छा ही कहते हैं, और हम उन्हें ‘भक्त’ कहते हैं. पर हम?
जब पतरस ने गलती की तो पवुल ने उन्हें सही राह दिखाया। देखिये प्रेरितों के कार्य १५. संत Joan of Arc और अविला की संत तेरेसा ने भी ऐसा किया।
हमारे संत पापा, बिशपगण और पुरोहितो को, गलती और अन्याय के विरुद्ध और बल से बोलना चाहिए! यूं कहिये मोदी जैसे!

THIRTEEN THOUSAND TEEN-AGERS Arrested? For upto 45 Days? Tortured by Electric Shocks? Teenagers?
Upto Rs. 60,000 paid for their Release?
This is India? This is #bjp’s ‘Normalcy?’ This is #modi’s Acche Din (Good Days)?

That’s The Telegraph UK, not India, which would be more Rag-tag.
