The Bishops’ Conference of India issued a statement this week denouncing the anti-Christian violence that has swept the country and calling on the government to take greater steps to ensure the safety of all believers.
The Fides news agency reports that the bishops of India said they were “moved and concerned by episodes of extreme violence against Christians” and they expressed their disagreement “with the apathy and indifference of the government both at the central level as well as in different states.”
