While India this week rocked by a scandal much more sinister than that of Facebook. A representative of Vatican, Archbishop of Delhi, Anil Couto, in a letter, called for prayer and fasting, throughout India for purely political and social reasons.
Anil Couto not only failed to apologize but defended himself when confronted by media.
Church, especially roman catholic church has a bloody and long history in meddling the politics across Europe. The term secularism simply means “separation of the state and church”. This new word “Secularism” came into existence due to the active involvement of the church in the political affair of European nations. “Secularism” or separation of Church from politics is fundamental to any democracy. And Roman Catholic Church decided to target just that under the disguise of the social fabric of India.
The church was controlling the affairs of the British government for long. In 1534 Vatican threatens to delegitimize the marriage of King Henry VIII. He, in turn, refused to accept the authority of Vatican over British Churches. Britain achieved its freedom from Roman pope by establishing the Church of England.
French were so fed up with the church that after French Revolution of 1789 they literally went for “Dechristianization of France” They banned christian festivals, & calendar. They exiled 30,000 priests and killed hundreds. Because they had suffered from it for hundreds of years.
In the United States, the very first amendment to their constitution was regarding Secularism. The phrase "separation between church and state" was first coined by Founding Father of America and 3rd President Thomas Jefferson in 1-Jan-1802 in a letter wrote to Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut.
Germany which is known for Jewish massacre also persecuted 2,720 clergymen from Roman Catholic Church during 1940.

Russia banned Christianity during Soviet Era. Even though China did not take such an extreme step it did, however, clamp down the authority of Vatican to appoint Bishops and Archbishops in China. Chinese church is independent of Vatican.
Roman Catholic religion is hated by democracies and dictatorship alike. After outcasted from every major power around the world, the Vatican still refused to learn the lesson and trying to influence the politics in India in whatever manner possible.
So is it surprising that Archbishop of Delhi is suddenly worried for Indian Democracy? If you go through the examples I have quoted above you will observe that they were merely a reaction to activities carried out by Catholic Church in the name of religion.
In every country, church was grabbing political power wherever possible.
The church is doing this since it’s inspection. We need to look at this pattern from a broad perspective. “Kadi ninda” is not going to help. Vatican agents are roaming across India influencing political discourse to suit their agenda. We need to take action against this.
First, we should ban foreign pastors who are entering in India daily under the tourist visa. These foreigners do not understand social fabric of this country. They and their foreign religion are the real threat to our nation.
Second, we need to inform people about the birth of secularism. The word was literally invented for separating Church from political power. No equivalent to this exists in any other language of the world.
Finally, we need to be more vigilant about this. The letter wrote by archbishop wasn’t a secret internal memo. If this is what came to light, imagine what they have been planning in secret.
