Quotes

Fr. Faustine Lobo, priest of Bangalore and National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in India, explains to Fides Agency: "Today there is more confidence among the population. One can build a new social and religious atmosphere. The BJP was defeated for several reasons: it is divided into various factions; was the protagonist of a bad administration and cases of corruption, even three ministers were arrested; used the approach of 'communitarianism', pushing for a policy of division and discrimination against minorities. The people did not like and did not renew confidence in the BJP. Today, the Congress Party has a good opportunity to show a policy of good governance, which could lead to good results, because in a year and a half there will be national elections. The results of the vote in Karnataka are a warning to the BJP and for the entire nation: to foment social and religious unrest does not pay. As a Church we have always promoted and will continue to promote an approach based on dialogue and harmony among different communities. We look forward to a future of peace and development for Christians in Karnataka "

...Pope Francis at the end of the general audience yesterday, said: "I invite all Catholics around the world to join in prayer with our brothers and sisters in China; to implore of God the grace to proclaim Christ, dead and risen, with humility and joy; to be faithful to his Church and the Successor of Peter; and to live their everyday lives in service to their country and their fellow citizens in a manner consistent with the faith they profess. Making our own a few words of prayer to Our Lady of Sheshan, together with you I would like to invoke Mary: 'Our Lady of Sheshan, sustain all those in China, who, amid all their daily trials, continue to believe, to hope, to love. May they never be afraid to speak of Jesus to the world, and of the world to Jesus'. Mary, Virgin most faithful, support Chinese Catholics, render their commitments, which are not easy, more and more precious in the eyes of the Lord, and nurture the affection and the participation of the Church in China in the journey of the universal Church. " (PA) (Agenzia Fides 23/05/2
