Packiam, the archbishop of our diocese seems to be a simple man. But he wants and wields in fact unlimitted power. He seems to think that being accountable and transparent is less powerful! He seems not at all familiar with 'Jesus before Christianity!' He only knows, rather doesn't want to know that unadulterated Jesus. He is familiar and comfortable with the Jesus presented by the church, a bye product of Constantine's so called conversion! The Jesus who came 'not to be served, but to serve' is not the Jesus of this church! In this church every one projects himself with all titles beginning from the 'reverend' to 'excellency', 'grace' and 'holiness' and Jesus is conveniently ignored. They do not know the greatness of John the baptist who let Jesus grow and himself be diminished. When people asked: are you the one to come, he could tell them clearly that he was no the one and introduced Jesus instead!
Young priests are fascinated by authority, position and possession with higher study mania having no regard ever for being holy, honest, just and humble. Getting every benefit from the people, they couch on the back of the people neve letting them free! They project a God quite different from the one introduced by Jesus. This God need to be placated with offerings and other servile homages. Love has no place, love which has no fear or any other inhibition...
