With the last post, we know we touched some raw nerves. We got a lot of comments, reactions, from people pretending to be "youth". We assure you there were no youth commenting on our posts. Some cowardly grown-ups were so chicken that they were pretending to be youth to air their frustrations.
May we ask, what atrocious accusations did we make? None. Nada. We simply expressed the sentiments of the majority of our parish. It is the vicar and the people around him that are totally out of tune with reality.
No question about it. This community was started so that it will be an oasis of Malayalee culture and religion. Selfish people of the present, especially the religious authorities, have hijacked the sublime ideals of the founders of this community for their own benefit.
We have said it before, and we say it again: there is only one reason for the existence of our Ministry. That is to preserve and perpetuate our cultural, religious and ritual heritage. Anything that will water down these ideals will not be accepted.
The current leadership of our diocese, especially the parish leadership, is just pandering to the insane demands of the vocal minority. They in their utter ignorance have failed to feel the pulse of the silent majority.
Of late, the youth has been the greatest concern and preoccupation of our religious leadership. Let us remind the religious leadership that the youth has ALWAYS been OUR concern and preoccupation. That is the reason we started this ministry in the first place, in case you did not know it. Neither Bishop Angadiath, nor Fr. Antony was there when the humble and simple immigrants of this city planted the seeds of this ministry. How dare you come here at harvest time and dictate to us?
Last Sunday's appeal to the parents by Fr. Antony lays open for the whole world what they are all about. What they are all about is not you and me, nor your children or mine. What they are about is just THEY. Their survival. Their job security, if you please. The devilish scheme of Fr. Antony is to drive a wedge between the youth of this community and their parents. Totally for his survival. He knows he is a big zero with the parents. And as a last resort he has re-invented himself as a "Lover of Youth".
And with the mantle of "Youth Lover" he wants to destroy this community one youth at a time. He wants to eliminate Malayalam from a Malayalee church! He wants to introduce the ridiculous Mangleesh. But he does not want English, mind you. Well, Let us state clearly: we are for the youth. We are for English. We are for real English. Not the English of our priests who can't even speak Malayalam with diction.
Here let us also remind our readers: Some quarters are working hard to spread the lie that we are anti-youth. On the contrary, we are for the youth, we are the youth. The only difference is we are not naive. We are unwilling to be the useful idiots of the manipulating vicar.

Agree, agree, agree, 200%
I wish our authorities read this article. You have expressed the same concerns I have got. Vicar cannot remove malayalam. It is time the people of this parish let the vicar know this.
Your blog is doing a public service. Keep it up.
Please submit a memorandum before the authorities.
Keep the malayalam mass as Today
English mass should be same as in American(Latin) churches
Invite American priests for the English mass (at least once in a while)
I wish vicar will leave the church for our good. Does money mater is the only thing he like? He connects everything to money making. He should remember that he is a priest, not a greedy business man with low business ethics. I can tell from peoples conversations that most majority don't like him at all. So bad for so long. Please leave us, please.

"ഈ രൂപതയോ പള്ളിയോ മൂലം ഇവിടത്തെ ജനങ്ങള്ക്ക് യാതൊരു നന്മയും ഉണ്ടായിട്ടില്ല. പ്രത്യുത ഉള്ള മനസമാധാനം കെടുത്തി മാത്രം പറഞ്ഞാല് മതിയല്ലോ. ഈ രൂപത വന്നതില് പിന്നെ ഞങ്ങള് ആത്മീയമായി കീഴോട്ടു പോയിട്ടേയുള്ളൂ.

Children are the reponsibility of the parent, not priests. We should respectfully urge the clergy to keep out of parental responsibilities.
