nytimes.com: pedophile priest sentenced to 12 to 15 years

February 16th

this is the kind of news you would never see in any indian newspaper. if you read indian newspapers alone, you'd never know that there is a worldwide scandal afflicting churches, and that thousands of priests have been accused and many convicted of pedophilia -- one of the most morally reprehensible crimes. the church is accused of coverups in these cases too.

other news about the church that no indian newspaper would ever carry: the fact that rwandan catholic nuns and a bishop were convicted of crimes against humanity during the genocide there for aiding and abetting massacres.

but indian papers are all too willing to carry wild speculations about 'peaceful' evangelists being attacked by 'fanatic' hindus. nobody asks what the 'peaceful' evangelists were doing in the first place: it's usually indulging in hate speech against hindus. which of course hindus are supposed to turn the other cheek to. there are supposed to be laws against hate speech!

"Church widening its doors to Left"
For money, power, and clout even 'escorts' widen their legs.
