Where are the Catholic Church options?

Home > World > Article

LTTE has again earned animosity by killing Fernandopulle, a true leader, a man of values and virtues. But what is irking him the most is the silence from the Catholic Church, north, south, east or west of Sri Lanka. Where are the Christians?

Sri Lankans Beliefs :

ANOTHER GREAT son of the Paradise Island was brutally murdered by the
terrorist savage scum from Kilinochchi.

Honorable Fernandopulle, the man who feared none, a Tamil, a Catholic, who repeatedly contested and won a predominanatly Sinhalese Buddhist constituency, was a true leader of both Sinhalese and Tamils, may they be Buddhists, Christians, Muslims or Hindus.

In the world we live, in a part of the world where sectarian and racial violence is common, this man rose above everyone and represented what Sri Lanka could be. That the people of the paradise island can put aside all racial and religious prejudices and differences to serve the people and the country

Our sympathy from America’s Mid West to the Fernandopulle family.

By murdering honorable Kadiragamar, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) earned themselves a ban from (predominantly) the West. By murdering Gandhi of India they earned the hatred from Sri Lankas immediate neighbor. By attempting on the life of General Fonseka they started the present systematic decimation of the LTTE militarily. But by this senseless cold-blooded killing of a true Sri Lankan who served everyone regardless of race or religion, the LTTE may have nailed their own coffin finally.

On a very important issue, as an ex-Irish Catholic, I am still awaiting the response from the Catholic Church may, it be south, north, east or west of Sri Lanka. Where are the guardians of the Madhu Church. Condolences are pouring in from world over for this great son’s death but where the hell is the Catholic Church or the rest of the Christian community.

Shape of things to come from the Christians in Sri Lanka, I guess.

It is obvious then that the Catholic Church and the Christians of Sri Lanka are in many ways the sympathisers of the LTTE proving that the belief of most Sri Lankans may be accurate.

	Jeyaraj might have been a Tamil and a Catholic alright; but above 'racial and religious prejudices'? No way. He was not a parish minister but a 'honourable' minister and part of a fanatically racist government that has unleashed 'ethnic cleansing'.. As for the 'terrorist savage scum from Kilinochchi' having murdered 'Gandhi' (of a different �dynasty'), that charge is based on a weird Indian system called TADA where persons could be hanged after hush-hush trials based on extracted confessions that cannot stand judicial scrutiny according to civilised procedures. It would be imbecilic to call for 'neutrality' from the Bishops in the struggle waged by LTTE against suppression.

	Considering that you are writing about a leader who in your own words was above religious affiliations and was the leader of all Sri Lankans,its strange that you then proceed to ask why the Catholic church is silent.His death is a tragedy for the whole country,regardless of the fact that he was a Christian.
