"Forgive and be kind" is the greatest teaching of Jesus Christ. Seemingly the disciples of Christ viz., the Bishops of Thamarassery and Idukki have forgotten this. They are trying to stir up a revolt in the name of the Kasturirangan committee report and their words such as "blood bath" at western ghat and growth of Naxalism in the area are highly provocative.
The statement of Thamarassery Bishop itself is against the pastoral letter issued by the Catholic Bishop’s Conference in 2012 which stressed the need for conserving nature. The Cardinal and the higher Church authorities should interfere immediately to correct these bishops. It is the prime duty of christian clergies to lead laity in peace and never persuade them for any revolt against the Government and the Mother Nature.
