A Catholic group has urged India’s bishops to highlight recent attacks on the country’s Christians.
In a letter dated Jan. 10, members of the Forum for Justice and Peace claimed that the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) had responded to rising anti-Christian violence with “complete silence.”
“During the two days Dec. 24-25, the media reported seven well-planned attacks on Christian institutions across the country,” they wrote.
“In fact, in the year 2021, there were 486 incidents of violence against the Christian community in India, according to the United Christian Front. What shocks us is the complete silence on the part of the official Church, the CBCI.”
