Indian Catholic Bishops’ message for Diwali – Vatican News

CBCI's Diwali greeting card.

Thank you Nestor for drawing my attention to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) Diwali message, in these words: The Hindu festival, celebrated on Wednesday, November 7, this year in India, recalls the night when Lord Rama returned to his palace in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Laxman after a 14-year exile.  This represents the CBCI backing for Ayodhya !!!At the Holy Name Cathedral they usually have a Diwali “mass.”  Regards, John

It’s too early to worry about the National Debt right now. One cannot balance a budget until he knows what his income is going to be.

So please stop all these unnecessary fears until we have results and then act accordingly.
