The New life is just a drama they want to just dance to the tune of music while praying DJ. God can hear humble hymns not the Disco coir of modern day church who never give opportunity for singing to children. The Roman Catholics in the world are best in providing Missionary work There are numbers of nuns and priests who have left their family eg father mother brother sisters. Unmarried nuns and priests for poor in villages deserts hospitals and schools refuges and old aged homes predominantly women, some engaged only in constant prayer, others working as teachers, health workers and missionaries, fell 94,790 to 945,210.
Of the total, 753,400 members were women, while 191,810 were men, including 136,171 priests and 532 permanent deacons.
The figures were published next to a report of Pope Benedict XVI. Thanks to the Vatican church which is strong with the sacrifice of nuns and priests and the faithful people Agree[0]

@Jeevan, is this New Life is an Issue, why are you afraid? – This unit is just an unwanted hair from a large scalp with barber’s scissor on it. If anyone harms our community then it is time to rise and defend as one family which we have done from the beginning of Christian church’s existence two thousand years ago. Those who go away are against the principles of Roman Catholics. Will pray for them and hope to see them coming back home someday. Their parents and ancestors are waiting for them with open hearts in our cemeteries and in God’s paradise. Agree[0]

Congrattulatins to people of kemmannu The efforts taken by Kemmannu families during the times then St. Philomenas church now named after Theresa is unforgettable. The families who migrated from Kallianpura and settled had their great contribution for building church in 1938 the elders who bestowed their contribution to build do not live today. They blessed this day with prayers. May God hear their prayers and keep every parish family united where the fear for splitting our own people is on the rise due to the New Life who do not believe in Mother Mary nor attend church or participate with the parish community they argue it is time now to remember their ancestors who were present those days and regreat their children going away from their Mother Dear........

Congrats to the people of Kemmannu for celebrating 75th year of platinum. it would be appropriate and most rewarding if all the parish people of Kemmannu remember the departed souls on this occasion who worked hard to build this church with bricks and stones rocks and mortars with bare hands. The material landed at the site by bullock carts and mostly carried on elders head it was the only opportunity to name them today, especially the Thonse family members who arrived from Kallianpura.
