Very thoughtful of you to have written this open letter in 2013 and I happen to read it the day the pontiff is no more. I was just wondering about the conversions of Hindus that is so rampant nowadays and imagine you writing about it 12 years ago. You will be remembered by all devout Hindus for generations. Will visit this blog again just to read the responses.
Thank you and Naman ๐Ÿ™
Vijaya

Without exclusivity, without claiming that only Jesus and the Church can save, it would be like a branch of Hindu Dharma.
Jesus himself did not mention the first commandment โ€œyou shall not have other Gods before meโ€ when he was asked how to gain the kingdom of God.
he started with love your neighbor like yourself, and then donโ€™t steal, kill, etc..
Exclusivity and conversion are the poison injected by the Church.
But the Church probably won’t give up its power…

Hope the Christians in general and Pope in particular will show the courage to srap the dogmas that divide the humanity into beleivers, who get the ticket to heaven, and heathens who are damned to burn in hell for ever.

Can your small sense prevail in front of such gigantic calculations?
