Greetings again.
Animist Aboriginal Tribals in Eastern India seem to be quite positive to the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ.
Jesuit Missionaries have been educating and evangelizing them for the past 100 years.
Today, There are Catholic Schools, Colleges, and Hospitals all over the Tribal Belt.
Catholic Caucus Ping
Thank you, I had heard great things about the Catholics in Goa (one well-traveled priest friend of mine thought it was the greatest place in the world), but was not familiar with the Dutch missionaries. Historically, the Dutch as a whole were mostly spreading misery, compared to other colonizing powers. (Full disclosure: My Canadian wife is half-Dutch by ancestry, but I do not presently regard her as a colonizing power, and ashe is more Catholic than a typical Jesuit.)
Well, if you believe the traditions, St. Thomas got there first.
There are a LOT of Catholics in the South India, My wife, St Thomas is also buried there... in Madras/Chennai
Thank you for these posts. Christ Jesus, Victor.
