Dr James Kottoor wrote to Almayasabdam: 'The God of Surprises is doing unexpected things to this wretched creature. Just
received the following reaction from New York. What is surprising is that he
regularly reads Almaya from New York and mourns that no clerical class
(Vaideeka Sabdam) is seen or heard.' Hereby we publish a mail to Dr Kottoor indirectly asking him to invite those clergy readers also to participate in Almayasabdam debates. Almayasabdam is very happy to note that the voice of the voiceless is now heard around the world. Editor
Dear Dr Kottoor,
Your latest take on
the theme of Pope Francis [Mercy over Punishment] makes a wonderful reading.
Perhaps I should call
your reflections prophetic and provocative.
Every prophet in the
Biblical tradition - from Isaiah to Amos, from Jeremiah to Joel-Jonah-John the
Baptizer - dared to be provocative and subsequently prophetic.
A Christian prophet
could is not man of lame words, singing the glories of the ruling party.
I am a regular reader
of Almaya Sabdam and Puthukulam's magazine.
It is a pity that there
is no counter Vaideeka Sabdam to sound your views loud and clear.
There is emerging a
new and counter "pontificate" against Pope Francis in certain
quarters of the United States. Many bishops, by being
silent as they haven't nothing to say, are encouraging such
teachings.
Many hierarchs are
boldly preaching counter messages. Many more lay members
of the Church are becoming mini-popes. Media is full of them. Daily
"blogs" are unfortunately becoming alternate Gospels, Letters,
Infallible pronunciation and Encyclicals.
May be, that is a
by-product of over-democratic journalism in the WEST!
Catholics,
non-Catholic Christians, non-Christians, and non believers are part of this new teaching
authority in the Church.
If a Church educates clergy exclusively in Canon Law with a subtle
plot to ordain every one of them as bishops, surely such bishops can't have non-canon-law-perspectives on life.
The Franciscan Images
of FIELD HOSPITAL or POOR CHURCH FOR THE POOR do not get into the heads
of Capitalist market watchers.
Cheap unmarried men
who have put on expensive ecclesiastical episcopal garbs have
serious difficulty to listen to the anxious cries and existential needs of
families.
Kindly continue to
tell the King, "It is not right for you..."
I will pray that God
spares your head/
Affection.
GITANJALI A BERNARD,
NEW YORK
