In any community one can find that
only twenty percent of the people are trustworthy and all others are either
careless or funny. These twenty percent people run a college, a factory or a ministry. For clergies too this
concept is applicable. For instance look at clergy run Christian weekly newspaper
‘Sunday Shalom’ carrying an editorial praise of Prime Minister Narendra Modi
saying that Modi is God’s answer for Christians who prayed for the benefit of
the country and for a good administration. The editorial stated that god will
save the country and the Sabha through Modi. Till Modi’s incarnation they were
praying for someone of Italian origin for country’s rule.
There are clergies who do even more
funny things. For example, one clergy in Alappuzha who openly claims his direct
connection with Jesus, had gone to bless the Arabian sea for a good catch for the faithful. Unfortunately the followers got little catch as all the HIndu fishes
ran to the west and the sea became ferocious.
CBCI president Cardinal Cleemus Catholica Bava, the patron of
Sunday Shalom, however, is not that much imprudent.
