Received this fascinating group photograph of different generations of Malayali Latin Rite Catholic women in a single frame, offering a remarkable glimpse into the evolution of women’s attire, from the traditional white chatta and mundu, with a loosely draped shawl over the shoulder, through the shawl worn in a white, saree-like fashion, and finally to the modern, colourful saree.
Excerpts from an interview with Catholic Chaldean Cardinal Mar Raphael Sako last year following the Conclave.
He expressed the view that Pope Leo XIV would likely continue the emphasis of Pope Francis on social justice, while also upholding the integrity of Catholic faith and doctrine.
Mar Sako also praised the Holy Father for his views on marriage and voiced concern about the growing influence of gender ideology and the broader cultural confusion he sees in the West.
In my opinion, Imran Khan's greatest service to humanity during his govt was helping Asia Bibi escape for whom Salman Taseer took a principled stance.
He also remains the only politician who tried to tackle the menace of TLP terrorism but the estab. considered them their own.
@Incendies591432 In fact, among a faction of the Hindu nationalists, there are conspiracy theories about Jain deep state controlling India, similar to Jewish deep state controlling USA in Western alt-right conspiracy theories.
Catholics who find themselves defending or downplaying Hitler should read this to the end.
It's time to put it to rest.
Adolf Hitler was not a misguided patriot. He was one of the Church’s most determined enemies.
He personally authorized the annihilation of six million Jews.
He ordered the gassing of the disabled, the sterilization of those he judged defective, and the deliberate starvation of prisoners in a program that began with children and never truly ended.
He filled Dachau with Catholic clergy; hundreds were worked to death or died under medical experiments.
Bishops who preached against euthanasia faced arrest.
The Gestapo dissolved every independent Catholic youth organization in Germany. Catholic newspapers were banned, publishing houses seized, confessional schools closed or converted to state use.
The Concordat he signed in 1933 was violated before the ink dried.
In his own recorded words he called Christianity “an invention of the Jew” and “the heaviest blow that ever struck humanity,” declaring that the Church would be eradicated once the war was won. His inner circle confirmed the plan was total.
Pius XI answered with Mit brennender Sorge, the only encyclical in history smuggled into a country and read from every Catholic pulpit on the same Sunday, condemning the idolatry of race and blood, and National Socialism itself, by name.
Maximilian Kolbe, Edith Stein, Franz Jägerstätter, and thousands of others laid down their lives rather than accommodate that regime for a single moment.
There is no Catholic path that passes through admiration for Hitler, sympathy for his movement, or silence about what he did.
The only response compatible with the Catholic faith is this: remember it exactly as it was, and reject it entirely.
I'm always game for some Mallu commie bashing but this image has nothing to do with Kerala. There is no naxalism here.
The issue with Hindutva Twitter is that they don't know how to critique Kerala. It's always a scattershot approach because their audiences are ignorant.
That 3% is limited to the border districts.
For ex, Kannadigas love claiming Kasargod district for themselves, where 71% speaks Malayalam, while Karnataka itself only has 66% Kannada speakers.
Karnataka is the fakest of all South Indian states. That's why they're so jingoistic.

BJP’s right-wing ideology is premised on religious (Hindutva) nationalism, and it can be CONFRONTED only by another right-wing ideology called linguistic nationalism
Example: It is impossible for the BJP to counter NTK’s “son-of-the-soil” Tamil nationalism.

@AnimaDEBNA78917@nazirafzal Even the Belgian parliament intervened to stop the atrocities committed by their King, something which would never happen under Communist dictatorships such as Stalin or Mao.
Congratulations to Robin Elackatt who got elected as the mayor of Missouri City for a third term 👏
Robin is a South Asian American from the Knanaya Catholic community. He rose through the ranks of the Chicago Catholic League in his twenties before entering mainstream politics.
🚨A day after Congress MP #RahulGandhi claimed that a Brazilian model's photograph appeared 22 times on Haryana's electoral rolls, India Today TV found a voter record carrying the same image, this time linked to a woman who died in March 2022.
The voter, Guniya, wife of Vinod, had died more than two years ago. Her family said they were shocked to discover that her name still appeared on the voter list, and that, too, with the photo of a foreign woman.
"We don't know what has happened," said Guniya's mother-in-law, who also shared her death certificate. The family said Guniya had cast her vote before her death, but they were unaware how such a photo misprint occurred.
