Amid growing concerns over the plight of Christian minority communities worldwide, the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council (KCBC) has voiced its condemnation of the recent attacks faced by these communities and called for urgent international intervention. Expressing deep concern, the apex body of Catholic priests in Kerala deplored the recent attacks on Christians, particularly in Pakistan, and emphasized the need for a collective response to this pressing issue.
In a fervent statement, the KCBC highlighted the unfortunate circumstances where minority Christians in Pakistan have been subjected to attacks by the majority community, sparking outrage within the global Christian community. The KCBC also shed light on disturbing revelations that certain extremist religious groups were propagating false narratives targeting Christians, allegedly inciting violence and discord, as PTI reported,
The church body's assertion continued, pointing out that the hate campaigns orchestrated by these groups were driving countless individuals into a state of insecurity, prompting mass displacements and upheaval. Distressing reports detailing the rise in cases of torture, murder, and loss of livelihood among Christian minorities in various countries reinforced the urgent need for international intervention.
The KCBC unreservedly pointed out the alarming situation where individuals are facing persecution solely based on their Christian faith, a deeply concerning phenomenon in today's world. In response, the council fervently called upon both the governments of affected nations and the United Nations to take decisive action to curb these troubling trends.
