12. CONVICTED PEDOPHILE DOMINIC DIXON TRIES TO SILENCE THIS MINISTRYS EXPOSES OF HIM
16/17 JUNE 2017
Why did we commence writing about Dominic Dixon?
Why do we continue to do so?
Our ministry exposes Catholics in authority and with influence over others such as priests, bishops, institutions and persons in lay ministry who lead the faithful astray.
Our ministry is absolutely impersonal and objective. It is not focused exclusively on Dominic Dixon or on any other individual. It is a ministry of Catholic apologetics also serving to warn Catholics against potential spiritual dangers.
Dixon just happens to be one of those many Catholics in lay ministry whom we have exposed.
And, very importantly, he has the open support of preachers like Colin Calmiano, priests like Fr. Dominic Emmanuel SVD, Catholic Charismatic Renewal leaders like Simon Rodrigues, and bishops like Archbishop Bernard Moras
of Bangalore and the Vicariates of Kuwait and Southern Arabia (the latter courtesy of Aneel Aranha of HolySpiritInteractive, Dubai). He is thus enabled by them to reach out and access Catholics in institutions, parishes and prayer groups, and to speak on behalf of the Church in the secular media in India and beyond.
Their encouragement also helped him to con an organisation like UNITAR/CIFAL and their associates at ACTS into opening the door (which has now been closed) to him. See file no. 9.
Incidentally, his favored interests and activities happen to be in the areas of pornography, sexual morality (of youth in colleges)… and corruption!!!
Why do we believe that Dixon leads Catholics astray?
The information compiled in our reports exposes his complete lack of credibility, his blatant lies, misrepresentations, false claims, his downright criminal activities like anonymous threatening calls, intimidation of others through police complaints, legal charges and phone tapping (by his own admission), his being a convicted pedophile and deportee, and much, much more.
He is absolutely unqualified to author books on psychology and to “minister” to Catholics.
He therefore has no business to publicly teach/interpret the Bible, to conduct courses on Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and to conduct campaigns and courses in Catholic institutions, and to be allowed anywhere near children and youth.
Those who continue to back this impostor and sexual pervert will have to shoulder the blame along with him when the law in this country finally catches up with “Dr.” Dominic Dixon and everyone comes to know about who and what Dixon really is.
Dixon’s latest reaction to our exposés, the “legal charges” and “defamation case” against us and our associates, if pursued by him will only hasten his arrest and land him in jail on various counts.
His own relatives are eager to see him behind bars and have contacted us with the necessary documentation (which is on our web site) to that end.
The Archbishop of Bangalore (who is referred to by Dixon on page 9, point no. 27 of the “legal notice”* sent by him to me) and lay Catholic leaders in India and Dubai who prop up Dixon and his schemes will have to continue to bear with our naming them in our reports.
*Dixon requires us to apologize in writing to the Archbishop and the Chairman of the Bangalore Charismatic Renewal, and to compensate him financially for our having tarnished his name!!!
See the copy of one of the two “legal notices” on the following pages.
One does not have to wonder why, when filing “legal charges” of defamation against us, Dixon does not refute the very serious claim that his relatives and this ministry have documented about his being a pedophile, convict and deportee. And the other question about the authenticity of his various university degrees and educational qualifications. That, too, is something that the Indian police and courts would be very interested in. And that may only be the tip of the iceberg.
Almost every charge in the “legal notice” against this ministry is pure fantasy. My responses:
His point no. 1.
I do not own, operate or control the ephesians511 blog.
www.ephesians511blog.com
(from his points nos. 1, 12 and 27)
does not even open!
His point no. 3.
I just did a word search on my files. I have never called Dixon a “goon” or a “thug“. I have no time to waste checking out the other words that he claims I used for him. Some are however justified.
His point no. 4.
I have never at any time ever made a request to anyone for my articles to be published on the site http://www.holyspiritinteractive.net. In 2003, the site’s owner unilaterally published one of my articles.
His point no. 5.
I have never described Dixon’s organization as “illegitimate” or “resorted to blaspheming the Archbishop and the Chairman of the BCCRS“. (Incidentally, one can only blaspheme against God.)
His point no. 6.
“(Y)ou were asked to provide evidence for such a tall allegation against our client“.
We were never asked to do so.
His point no. 7.
“(O)ur client was never convicted for the crimes that you have motioned on your website, but you have accused our client of being a ‘serial pedophile’.” And the rest of point no. 7.
The government documentation sent to us from the US by Dixon’s relatives is available at our site.
His point no. 8.
“On the 5th of May 2017, a petition against you and Mr. Sunil Francis Lobo was filed at the Federal Court of Canada and was duly acknowledged by the Protonotary and the Counsel for the Federal Minister for Immigration.”
For a prolific social media activist, Dixon never mentioned his association with Canada (points nos. 7 and 8) before. What was he hiding?
Where is the proof that Dixon filed that fictitious petition?
His point no. 9.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has taken cognizance of some complaint from Dixon and he has “received a positive reply“.
Where is that “reply”?
His point no. 10.
“(Y)ou had claimed that his sister, Mrs. Charmaine Tilaka and her husband, Mr. Charles Tilaka, Australian citizens, had telephoned you in 2014 and had complained to you that our client had abused their son(s). When our client had sought clarification from Mrs. and Mr. Tilaka about your allegations, they have issued a written statement to my client, and categorically denied having any contact with you.”
Where is that “written statement”?
If his relatives had not called and spoken to me, how on earth would I know their names?
His point no. 11.
“Our client instructs us to state that by your own confession, our client has evidence of you sending out emails using fake email accounts to people and to our client. The IP address of these emails can be traced back to your address in Chennai.”
By my own confession. Of course. I own around 10 gmail and yahoo accounts that I use for subscribing to different Catholic newsletters, for group mailing (as it is impossible to do so from Tata Docomo-vsnl), etc. And for ferreting out and exposing Catholics in ministry who engage in nefarious activities. I eventually include those emails in my final reports on the web site.
His point no. 12.
“(T)he malicious campaign titled “Criminal Acts of Mr. Dominic Dixon” was investigated by Cyber Crime investigators who have verified with Facebook, Google Inc. and Word Press. Cyber Crime Police of Bengaluru have given their inputs, confirming your involvement of posting defamatory content about ETHOS INSTITUTE and its Chairman.”
Where are those “inputs”?
His point no. 13.
“(O)n 29.10.2014, our client had filed a case against you and had informed the Police Commissioner of Bangalore and other senior officers. Bangalore city police and Cyber Crime have done a thorough investigation on you and your accomplices. An FIR was then registered with the jurisdiction police station naming your accomplice Mr. Sunil Francis Lobo as Accused #1 and you as Accused #2.”
Where is the evidence that Dixon did so?
His point no. 16.
“(Y)ou have resorted to lies, manipulation and connivance to tarnish the image of our client, a private citizen and a person of high repute.”
Lies? All charges made by us are thoroughly documented.
Dixon, a convicted pedophile and homosexual, “a person of high repute”?
His point no. 19.
“The United Nations has taken cognizance of your illegal acts and have noted the damage that has been caused to my client during his presentation at the United Nation Headquarters where senior Ambassadors and Diplomats have inquired with him about your post when they have Google searched about my client’s credentials, to get to know the profile of my client before his presentation on Human Rights.”
Where is the evidence for that tall claim?
His point no. 23.
“You have generated huge amounts of money in the guise of being commissioned to run an investigative website. In 2013 between October and November, you had solicited around 5, 00, 000 (Five Lakhs) in the guise of your commissioning, but had utilized that amount towards your personal medical bills.”
Dixon has a fertile imagination.
What commissioning? What investigative web site?
In October 2013, I did receive Rs. 2 lakhs for my heart surgery, but it was from my youngest brother. I am also fully covered by medical insurance, again taken for me two decades ago by my brother who pays the annual premium.
I have never solicited money or conducted courses like Dixon does to generate money (“cancellation of dozens of his programs … resulting in low number of invitations for his talks, internationally; resulting in severe financial loss and instability“) as per his points 19 and 21.
But I do live by faith and accept unsolicited love-offerings and tithes. We also tithe to others.
Dixon ends by claiming Rs 1 crore (10 million) in damages from me.
There are twenty-eight points in the charge sheet. I have ignore thirteen of them in my rebuttal.
*
On the same day, June 8, Dixon also sent an eight page nineteen point notice to my “associate” Francis Lobo. He demands Rs 75 lakhs (7.5 million) in damages from him.
Dixon claims (point no. 4) that Mr. Lobo is my web master. My web master since our launch in 2003 is Mr. Antony Vijayendran (mentioned by Dixon in his point no. 12) who has no dealings with me apart from designing, reconstructing and maintenance of my web site. We connect by email or phone three or four times a year.
A large number of Catholics like Mr. Lobo are my “investigators” (as Dixon calls them); they check out people and organizations and send me material which I use in the making of my reports.
They collaborate with me in exposing evil and error. Several of them are priests.
Friends have pointed to me out that the content of the two charge sheets is not “legalese”.
A Swiss supporter of our ministry had this to say after reading the report on the Facebook posts by Dixon:
Date: Monday, 19 June 2017
Dear Michael,
I’m appalled by everything I’ve read and am so sorry about the situation. I see that you have everything very well documented, which is the most important thing. I also notice that Dixon doesn’t say anywhere that he is innocent, instead he attacks you. That is in my eyes very revealing. Many of the things he says about you I personally know to be untrue, because of all the contact I’ve had with you for so many years. Most legal threats remain just that: threats. I think that Dixon is the one who has everything to lose if he goes on with this.
Having myself been in a situation* similar to yours, I know how stressful it can be. But God never abandoned me, even when I was at my lowest point. So put all your trust in Him, for “Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge. Even all the hairs of your head are counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows” (Mt 10, 29-31). –Mrs. MLP
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017 09:22:28 +0000 (UTC)
Please assure Francis of my prayers. I do think that anyone who knows Francis personally or professionally will easily see that Dixon is completely out of his mind. Francis’ collaboration with you in order to expose people like Dixon only speaks positively about him as a person and a Christian. –Mrs. MLP
*The writer and I had successfully collaborated in exposing the false Greek-Orthodox mystic Mrs. Vassula Ryden and terminating her frequent forays in India where she was supported by eminent Cardinals and Archbishops of the Catholic Church.
Ms. Ryden filed a case against MLP in Belgium. MLP was obliged to shut her web site because of a “trade mark” issue, but it soon reopened and is functioning under a new, neutral name.
Vassula Ryden’s false “ministry” is virtually non-existent today.
I was in Bangalore from the 13th to the 19th of August. While crisscrossing the city, it did not even dawn on me to check out the Miller’s Road address from which the “charge sheets” were posted.
Incidentally, I was in the city to file an F.I.R. with the police against a Catholic Congregation of priests. Spoiled with a choice of three top Catholic lawyers, our team (and, no Dixon, Mr. Lobo and Mr. Vijayendran were not with us on that team) consulted a real lawyer.
And our mission was a success.
It would not bode well for Dominic Dixon if we ever need to approach any of those lawyers to file a legal case against him.

Extract from page 21 of report serial no. 1 above
Fr. Jacob Vellian, Diocesan, Kalamazoo, MI. Accused.
Priest of the Archeparchy of Kottayam, India, of the Syro-Malabar Church. Per USCCB Advisory, Vellian was working in Kalamazoo on temporary basis in 1973-1974. Diocese said in Fall 2010 it had recently received an allegation of sexual abuse of a female minor by Vellian. Review Board concluded the charges had merit. Vellian had been in active ministry in various dioceses in the US in the recent past. In 9/11 he was said to be living in Kerala India’s Kottayam district, in a Kaduthuruthi seminary.
This is the complaint from the survivor received at the ephesians511 blog and forwarded to me by its owner:

I am the girl that Msgr./Fr. Jacob Vellian sexually assaulted when he was here in the United States in 1974-75. I am still suffering the consequences of his sexual abuse. He began by slipping his hands under my shirt or dress and rubbing my breasts. When I asked him to stop he said he was praying for me and placing his hands over my holy spirit which was located under my breasts! Later he moved to the lower part of my body, and used his fingers to explore my womb. I protested and he said it was ok, he was a priest, he had been in a medical mission field in India and had seen naked women all the time. He said he was looking to see if American women were the same as women from India. He also said he was praying for me and “imparting the Holy Spirit into me”. PLEASE, won’t SOMEONE over there do something?
Fr. Vellian was reported to the Vatican to the office of the CDF. Archbishop Moolakatt lied to the Vatican and told them Fr. Vellian was retired, and very, very sick and was in a nursing facility for retired priests. He said he would never be able to be active in ministry so he posed no threat. This was about 5 years ago. This was NOT true!! I have found him on the internet about 4 times since then – walking around, singing, being interviewed, walking through a church and a garden, kneeling at church holding a rosary, even presiding at a large Mass for some celebration in Kerala. Won’t SOMEONE over there in the Syro-Malabar Church tell the CDF at the Vatican that Archbishop Moolakatt is a lier, and that Msgr. Vellian has been up and about doing ministry pubically for awhile!! Will someone PLEASE give the address of where Msgr. Vellian is now living and his email or phone number? It is causing me much anxiety and distress to know that he has never been held accountable for what he did to me! I’m begging SOMONE OUT THERE, to do SOMETHING!
This is the response from the owner of the ephesians511 blog to the survivor:
Dear Ann,
I have communicated your post to Michael Prabhu, the author of the report RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE BY INDIAN PRIESTS-CHURCH FAILS TO PUNISH GUILTY 01 which has been referred to by you in your complaint on my blog.
I commiserate with you and pray that the good Lord will heal all your wounds, including your memory and your emotions. Michael has assured me that he is writing immediately to Most Rev. Mathew Moolakkatt, the Archbishop of Kottayam, Kerala, in this connection.
Here is the Archbishop’s personal email id: marmmosb@yahoo.com.
His telephone numbers are: 0481-256 3527, -256 3812, -256 4256
His mobile number is: 94474 73888.
Fr. Jacob Vellian’s probable email address is: cbhktym@hotmail.com.
That is all that we could find out for you.
God bless you,

Subject: COMPLAINT AGAINST FR. JACOB VELLIAN BY AMERICAN VICTIM OF SEXUAL MOLESTATION
Dear Archbishop Mathew Moolakkatt OSB,
We have received a complaint (reproduced below) from the survivor that nothing has been done by you, or the Church in India or in Rome, to bring the perpetrator to justice until now.
(Complaint as on page 2-3 reproduced here)
Meanwhile, the criminal priest enjoys full freedom and patronage of the Church.
The victim-survivor knows your name and she has evidently been in fruitless contact with you.
Will you not ensure that justice is done even if four decades have passed since the incidents? If you do not, you share in the guilt of Fr. Jacob Vellian’s crime… and its long due punishment.
Yours obediently,
Michael Prabhu, Catholic apologist
The Archbishop of Kottayam is one of the Metropolitans of the Syro-Malabar Church to which both Fr. Joby Kachappilly VC (reports nos. 4-16) and Fr. Sam Koonamplackil VC (report no. 17) belong.
Fr. Jacob Vellian, born in 1934 and ordained April 23, 1961, is a pedophile.
His email id and that of the Archbishop’s are identical! (http://www.syromalabarchurch.in/priest.php?id=3459)
Apparently the Church has an over four decade long history in brazenly protecting its criminal priests.
And, as in the present case of Fr. Joby Kachappilly, the buck is being passed…
Priest accused of child abuse found in Kerala
Thiruvananthapuram, September 1, 2011
A Catholic priest accused of child abuse while in the US is allegedly living a quiet life in Kerala’s Kottayam district. Jacob Vellian has been accused by a woman of sexual abuse 26 years ago when she was a minor. He was then on a temporary assignment in the diocese of Kalamazoo in Youngstown city in Ohio. Vellian is currently staying in a seminary in Kaduthuruthi, sources said. The victim filed a complaint recently after undergoing a “trauma recovery programme”.
The church in Kerala and the police claimed they had no knowledge of the case or subsequent developments. “As of now we don’t have any information. Paedophilia is a serious offence and authorities there would surely have notified us if they had any suspicion,” said ADGP (Intelligence) A. Hemachandran.
The spokesperson of the Syro Malabar Church Paul Thelakkat said he was “shocked and surprised” by the news that “has come as a bolt from the blue”. He added: “We don’t know the veracity and foundation of the news. We will abide by the decision of the US church which is responsible for investigating and acting on this allegation.”

The Times story was reproduced in The Laitytude blog, Mumbai, September 1, 2011. The survivor Ann Phillips Browning makes an appeal:
https://mumbailaity.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/priest-accused-of-child-abuse-found-in-kerala/:
Ann Phillips Browning says:
I am the victim of Fr. Jacob Vellian’s sexual abuse. I get anyone else that has been sexually abuse by him to contact my bishop – Bishop Paul Bradley of the Diocese of Kalamazoo, Michigan. He is a very trustworthy and honest man that will help you and will help us get Fr. Jacob Vellian punished appropriately. Also, I need your help. Bishop Moolakkatt originally told the Vatican that Fr. Jacob Vellian was sickly, in poor health, and residing at a residence for retired priest and not performing public ministry. However I recently found a picture of him con-celebrating a Mass in front of thousands of people. In order to prove that Fr. Vellian is disobeying his penance given to him by the Vatican, and that Bishop Moolakkatt has been lying to cover up for Fr. Vellian I need proof – either someone willing to testify, or photos of Fr. Vellian ministering in public. PLEASE help me protect other women and children in India from Fr. Vellian’s sexual abuse – and if you WERE abused by him already PLEASE notify me or my Bishop! Because I live in the U.S. I am more free to speak up and have the support of my Bishop. But I hope to protect those in India who may have been harmed by him already! Thank you! God Bless You!
Ann Browning says:
Msgr. Jacob Vellian is a child sexual abuser, and Archbishop Moolakkatt continues to cover up for him! PLEASE speak up if you have been hurt or used by either of these sick men!

There was a discussion on this priest Fr. Jacob Vellian at https://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=887397
which the survivor Ms. Ann Phillips joins in:
Thomas, do you have any information on Fr. Vellian – was he cleared of that accusation from Kalamazoo or did he avoid it by staying in India? June 5, 2014
It’s a very sad thing but from what I have heard (only rumors in our community) the family created a lie against Msgr. Jacob Vellian during his short period in the U.S, that is why the case never continued and also why he was not stripped of his titles when he returned to Kottayam Metropolitan Diocese. Mar Matthew Moolakkatt accepted him wholly again as the Monsignor of Kottayam Diocese and the entire diocese defended Jacob Vellian against the charges.
He is one of the greatest Syriac scholars of the Syro Malabar Church and the most renowned in the study among Knanaya Priests, this man is responsible for the recreation of the Syro Malabar Qurbana along with other hieararchs in Rome, when it was translated to Malayalam. I do not think such a great priest would have been responsible for such allegations. But then again I have no connection or in depth background information on the case, so I could never know. It’s a dismal thing to say but it is true that such great priests can go afoul as well. –Thomas, June 5, 2014
Msgr. Jacob has NOT been released from the sexual abuse charges brought against him in the Diocese of Kalamazoo, Michigan. In fact, the case was sent to the CDF in Rome, and Archbishop Moolakkatt told the CDF that Msgr. Vellian was elderly and quite sick and staying in a retirement home for retired priests and would not be able to do any public ministry. So the CDF wrote to Bishop Bradley here in the Kalamazoo Diocese reporting that info. However, it has been seen on the internet several times that Msgr. Vellian is seen singing, lecturing, and presiding at very public masses. It appears that Archbishop Moolakkatt misrepresented the situation to the CDF. The Diocese of Kalamazoo is currently trying to get someone at the Vatican to speak with the Archbishop and encourage him to not allow Msgr. Vellian to do anything that could bring scandal to the church or that would allow him access to sexually abuse any other young people!
I happen to be that young 15 year old that was sexually abused by Msgr. Vellian back in 1975. I can guarantee you it was NOT a lie, it was NOT made up! He made me think I was special, he made me think he was my confessor and mentor, and he started buying me gifts, and then he started to sexually molest me. This went on for two years. The pastor at the church walked in on us one time with Msgr. Vellian laying on top of me and did or said nothing other than telling me to get back to my office where I volunteered. I went home and told my mother what happened and she told me I must have misunderstood his touches because a priest would never do that. That is exactly what Fr. Vellian was telling me. When he fondled me he said he was praying for me, he was asking the Holy Spirit to enter into me – and my Holy Spirit was located in my chest right where he was fondling me. He also told me he was from a mission in India – that was a medical mission, and he wanted to “examine my private areas” to see if woman in the US were built like the women in India, and that it was ok, because he worked at this medical mission and he was like a doctor and saw these things all the time. PLEASE, I BEG you – it is all true – if there is anything you can to do help protect any other little children he might be around, or to get his Archbishop to not let him perform public ministry, I beg you to do so. It seems the bureaucracy of the Catholic Church, and the compounded problem of him having retreated to India from California when he heard of my accusations are making it very difficult to hold him accountable for his actions! I only started speaking of this about 8 years ago, after I had been through considerable counselling for anxiety and depression and PTSD {post-traumatic stress disorder}. It was during this counselling that I was finally able to tell someone else about what happened to me. After having 2 other adults know about it and not doing anything I vowed I would never tell another soul. However, this counselor gained my trust and I finally spoke up, and that is when I made the report to my diocese, and filed a report with the police department. Our police cannot come after him, because we have a statute of limitations that does not allow for prosecution of a crime committed so long ago. So the only disciplinary avenue I have is the church. The church has not been able to get cooperation from Archbishop Moolakkatt. I know it was a long time ago, and Msgr. Vellian was relatively young at the time but I fear for any other young children he may have molested. Please pray for me as I still suffer from anxiety and fear of God because of what he did to me. Thank you. –Ann Phillips Browning, July 30, 2014 Priest accused of child abuse found in Kerala Priest accused of child abuse found in Kerala
I am very sorry this happened to you and I apologize for my misinterpretation in my earlier post. I only knew Msgr. Vellian as the Syriac scholar he was, it is very sad for a priest to fall this low. I do not know Archbishop Moolakkatt personally but I can send you some contact resources through private messaging that may be able to help you. I will pray for you.
Peace be with you. –Thomas, July 30, 2014
Thank you Thomas for your kind reply. My Bishop, bless him, is going to pursue this matter with the CDF and Office for the Evangelism of Peoples at the Vatican. Quite frankly, I am so hurt and tender from all that has gone on, I can’t pursue this situation being fixed by myself any more. I am trusting my Bishop and his staff to handle it. If there is any way you could warn people around Msgr. Vellian, to NOT let him be alone with their children – or to tell the other adults and priests around him to please not let him be alone with children. He was so skilled at knowing how to make a child feel special and feel loved, which helped him to get my cooperation and silence, I believe I was not his first, nor was I his last victim. My heart aches that other children might also being hurt, because I was too embarrassed to speak up for so long.
Thank you for your help and encouragement. It IS unfortunate that such an intelligent man, has a major mental illness. –Ann Phillips Browning, July 31, 2014

This report is in continuity with files serial nos. 11 and 14 above.
This ministry had succeeded in getting the organizers to cancel two retreats which were to have been preached by the rapist-priest, the first in New York and the second in Sharjah. It was still unclear if he “ministered” at the two retreats in the UK (see flyers in report serial no. 11) or not.
The Vincentian Congregation’s Provincial Superior wrote — a copy of his letter to Fr. Joby in Rome is in the said report no. 11 — that Fr. Joby Kachappilly didn’t preach at the two U.K. venues whose flyers we posted in report no. 11. Fr. George Panackal VC who, as per the flyer, co-preached the Hounslow programme on July 29 would not confirm that Fr. Joby did not minister at Hounslow with him when he called me and one of the victims as per details recorded in our report no. 14.
So we did a bit of direct enquiry with the Hounslow* and Ramsgate** (U.K.) locations on our own.
*Bath Road-Hounslow on July 29 – Joy 079637 38566/Mauro 079844 10446/Prince 078467 61500/Tony 074501 24754
**Divine Retreat Centre, Ramsgate on August 5 – 4478604 78417, 4477216 24883
Mauro (79844 10446) of Hounslow affirmed that Fr. Joby Kachappilly did not minister there July 29.
This is as per the claim of Fr. Kallumkal, his Provincial Superior.
When we called the Ramsgate number (77216 24883) on September 6, a lady responded and informed us that Fr. Joby was still there in Ramsgate, UK, and not in Rome as claimed by Fr. James Kallumkal. She also confirmed that Fr. Joby Kachappilly had led the Ramsgate Bible Convention and healing service on August 5. If, as Fr. Kallumkal wrote to me, he had “denied him permission to do so“, then Fr. Joby Kachappilly has disobeyed him and gone ahead without approval. Either that or Fr. Kallumkal is lying to us. On the 12th of September we received an independent confirmation that Fr. Kachappilly is presently in Ramsgate.
Meanwhile one Mrs. Thangam (9037044015) called the rape victims from Kerala on September 12 and attempted to dissuade them from pursuing the issue. She claimed to be anti-charismatic (unlike the entire Vincentian congregation which is charismatic) and a social worker. Her call is evidence that despite their assurance of bringing the rapist priest to justice canonically, the Vincentians are still chasing other options.
We place on record that even after a lapse of over three weeks, one of the victims has still NOT received an acknowledgement of her August 20 written complaint (see report serial no. 13) that had been solicited from her by the Provincial Superior.
However, I have received two more communications from him:
1. From: Fr. James Kallumkal VC
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 22:42:42 +0530
Dear Michael Prabhu,
Received your mail dated August 28 and Thank you for the same.
A priest of our community, Fr. Kurian Elavumkal VC, had an accident in the N.H. 47 and he died on the 24 of August. His funeral and related issues kept me busy these days. Hence I could not accomplish what I desired. I have obtained permission from respective superiors to appoint an Enquiry Committee. In two days time it will be constituted. In the canonical procedure it will be the committee that verifies the truth of the allegations, collects proofs, etc. Hence I request your understanding.
Yours sincerely,
Fr. James Kallumkal VC
2. From: Fr. James Kallumkal VC Subject: Re: MEETING AT BRITTO HALL, ASHIRVAD, ST. MARK’S ROAD, BANGALORE 3 PM to 5 PM ON JULY 18, 2017 Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 23:57:44 +0530
30 August 2017
Dear Michael Prabhu,
In accordance with my assurance that canonical process will be conducted in respect of the alleged sexual abuse of two young ladies from the part of Fr. Joby Kachappilly, I have constituted an Enquiry Committee with the following persons:
1. Fr. Philip Thayil VC (Convener)
2. Fr. Martin Palamattam (member)
3. Fr. John Kochupura CST (member)
The Committee is expected to collect evidence from the victim-survivors, the accused and witnesses from both sides by way of oral statements, documentary and other evidences. The Committee shall not reveal the identity of the victim-survivors in any way and shall take care that the reputation of the persons is protected. It is asked to complete its work within three months’ time from receiving this communication and to submit the acts of the process to me for further action.
Requesting your co-operation in this matter,
Yours sincerely,
Fr. James Kallumkal VC
Provincial Superior
“The Committee is expected to collect evidence from the victim-survivors, the accused and witnesses from both sides by way of oral statements, documentary and other evidences.” It is two weeks since the Provincial Superior wrote but no one has contacted any of our team till date. Moreover, we have personally handed to him and his confreres on the 18th of August all the evidence that we are willing to furnish them with to initiate canonical action against the rapist priest. The rest is on this ministry’s web site. Whatever else we have will be given to the law if and when the Church and the Congregation fail to fulfil their duties and assurances.
We still are not clear as to which Catholic Church authority deputed Fr. Martin Palamattam to represent the Church at the meeting with us in Bangalore on August 18.
We have anyway not heard a single word from him either… since almost a month now.
And we have not been informed of the reason for their choice of one Fr. John Kochupura CST (Congregation of St. Therese of Lisieux) to be on the “Enquiry Committee”. He too has not contacted us.
From our reports, the reader will be able to decide that every action or reaction of the Vincentians either as a Congregation or on an individual basis clearly indicates that the Vincentians are and have been since a long time, even prior to our taking up this case, aware of the sexual exploits of Fr. Joby Kachappilly as well as the identities of several of his victims.

I was one of the participants in the Evangelisation Retreat and Intensive Spiritual Refresher Course conducted at Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) February 7-25, 2000. Fr. Rufus Pereira, exorcist, and his secretary Erika Gibello (of the International Association for Deliverance or IAD and the International Association of Exorcists or AIE) were dining when I joined them at their table. I was among those who were permitted to use the dining hall meant for counselors, preachers and the priests of DRC. I was sharing with them my knowledge that certain individuals (lay persons engaged as counselors, as well as priests at DRC) were involved in the practice of Pranic Healing as well as Reiki, both of which are New Age alternative therapies. I had some of my papers spread out before them on the table when Fr. Augustine Vallooran, the Director of DRC, walked in. On seeing me with Fr. Rufus and Erika, his face showed anger. Fr. Rufus hurriedly exited the room, and a minute later, so did I with my papers. Two minutes later, I was summoned in by Fr. Vallooran.
The date was February 15, 2000.
I had already privately apprised him that Pranic and Reiki healers were active in DRC but he had been hostile, asking me to mind my own business. Now, made aware by Erika, he called me a liar. The dining hall, crowded with people, became completely silent. I withstood Fr. Vallooran to his face, repeatedly challenging his calling me a liar, and insisted that there were individuals at DRC who practised these occult therapies.
I suggested that if he lowered his voice and stopped shouting at me so that others could hear me, I would justify my allegations. Fr. Augustine changed tack and threatened to evict me from the Centre. I agreed that he had every right to do so but that he could not call me a liar. Finally, he conceded that I could stay on if I assured him that I would not conduct my private ministries while attending the Course, which I did.
This argument was witnessed by many individuals some of whom are in ministry in the Church even today.
That night, a counselor named Paul, occupying room no. 107, came to our room no. 18 (we were six occupants) in the other block. Because of the morning’s incident with Fr. Vallooran, I made a record of what happened and got my five roommates to sign it. Hardcopies of that single-page report have been in circulation since December 2001 in a set of six pages on related issues.
Here is what it says:
On the 15th February at around 9:00 PM, after I had met with Fr. Rufus Pereira, a gentleman introduced himself to me as Paul and asked me if I am the person who has studied on Pranic Healing. I replied in the affirmative. He asked then if he could speak with me in his room no. 107. As it was occupied, he suggested my room (no. 18) which was in the other block.
I was under the impression that he wanted to learn from me why Christians may not be associated with Pranic Healing.
However, he revealed that he was trained under the founder (Master Choa Kok Sui) in 1994 at three levels (Basic, Advanced and Pranic Psychotherapy). [He said that] one Fr. George Kolath of Changanassery diocese had influenced him.
He mentioned that their leader in Kerala is Sr. Eliza Kuppozhackel*. He used terminology like auras, prana, chakras, etc., and said that he could feel, if he tried to, our etheric aura layers 3 to 4″ over our physical body.
Unasked, he proceeded to conduct a demonstration for the six of us present, on how to produce and experience Pranic power and energy. (Hastily) interrupting him, I presented my findings and conclusions that such practices are unacceptable, occult, satanic and they are, in philosophy and methodology, incompatible with Biblical revelation and Church teaching.
When I concluded after about 20 minutes, brother Paul, of his own accord, knelt down in the floor and asked for prayer.
This counsellor of Divine Retreat Centre returned on 16th night and had discussions and prayer with some of the undersigned. All the undersigned are witnesses to the truth of these things.”

MURINGOOR
18.2.2000
At the bottom of the page I had written in all caps:
His (Br. Joseph Michael’s) article “On the Road with the Lord” was carried in (the Potta Fathers’ English monthly) Vachanotsavam (issue of) June 2000. He is a teacher of Vipassana (meditation) and is into Reiki, Pranic Healing, etc.
I wrote (about this) to the authorities at Divine Retreat Centre. Refer to my letters to them dated 14.06 to 20.06.2000.
Counselor Paul met me a couple of days later and categorically denied that he had ever come to my room! Clearly I was being discussed in the corridors and rooms of the DRC and he had been warned.
From all of the above we can derive some conclusions:
1. Not only are the priests in authority at the Divine Retreat Centre ignorant of these New Age alternative therapies, they do not want them talked about at the Centre. They certainly do not want anyone to preach about them from the stage.
At the same Course, two of the preachers were Advocate A.M. Mathew of DRC and Fritz Mascarenhas of Bangalore. I had a discussion with both of them in Advocate Mathew’s room on February 8 using my bunches of papers to convince them of the seriousness of the matter. I had known Advocate Mathew for at least 15 years earlier when he had preached a retreat in Delhi at the invitation of our team. It was my second encounter with Bro. Fritz and he did not know me that well. However, both of them got the point. They delivered their talks later in the morning. I was stunned to hear them rail against Yoga and Zen, Pranic Healing and Reiki, asking Catholics why they would want to be in bondage to occult, New Age stuff.
At lunch, there was pandemonium in the common dining hall. Some priests who were attending the Course loudly condemned the two preachers for categorizing Reiki and Pranic Healing as evil practices. Apparently someone approached Br. Fritz and asked him why they were evil and he had no answer. (This is the problem with 99.99% of our preachers.) Next, they lodged a complaint with Fr. Vallooran. Bro. Fritz never once again uttered so much as a word about New Age meditations and alternative medicines.
The following week, after the public incident with Fr. Vallooran on the 15th, I fled to Advocate Mathew’s room, told him what had happened and wept while he held me in a fatherly embrace and consoled me.
2. So, it continues that Catholics attending retreats at DRC are never warned of the spiritual dangers of New Age meditations like T.M., Yoga, Vipassana and Zen and alternative medicines like acupuncture, acupressure, homoeopathy, Reiki and Pranic Healing to name just a few.
At the same time, counselors continue to train in them and even recommend them to counselees.
From this report and the others preceding in the series as well as the ones to follow this, one will see that the problem is extremely serious.
Yet thousands of people sail in and out of DRC every week without noticing any of the things that I have seen and recorded. Many of these people are in charismatic ministry. They are leaders of Covenant Communities and of large and small prayer groups. But they know precious little. And do not want to learn.
How relevant is the word of the Lord through the prophet Hosea (4:6) Douay-Rheims:
My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me…
The New American Bible reads:
My people are ruined for lack of knowledge! Since you have rejected knowledge, I will reject you from serving as my priest.
Even the monthly magazines of Potta and DRC have printed New Age error. I have not read a single issue of their publications since more than 15 years and so I cannot say if the errors have ceased or if they continue.
That Fr. Vallooran himself has, as recently as June 2013, recommended Yoga to a retreatant, is documented by me on page 2 of my report DIVINE RETREAT CENTRE ERRORS-05.
On the same page I reported that the Vachanotsavam issue of April 2000 headlined a story about the “Cardinal Padiyara Nature Cure and Yoga Ashram“. I copied therein my letter of April 25 to the editor and my letter to Fr Augustine Mundackatt VC.
Here is a scan of that issue of Vachanotsavam:
The founding father of the Divine group of institutions, Fr. Mathew Naickomparambil and other Vincentian retreat preachers take treatment there.
It is therefore not surprising that they will neither condemn New Age in their talks nor will they permit others to do so.
*Sr. Eliza Kuppozhackel MMS is discussed in several of my reports. She is over her head in New Age and propagates the therapies institutionally in Kerala along with the rest of her Congregation.
**An extract from my article
VIPASSANA MEDITATION:
In June 2000, Vachanotsavam magazine carried a ‘testimony’ On the Road with the Lord by Joseph Michael, a De La Salle religious brother who completed a 3-week evangelisation course for lay-ministers in Muringoor (he was the room-mate of this writer and had shared with this writer that he was proficient in pranic healing and other New Age therapies), followed by a retreat for the religious by the Potta fathers in Sri Lanka. Despite and after all this, he advertises that he attended “a course in Buddhist meditation at the Vipassana Meditation Centre, Kanduboda, Sri Lanka.
“On my return, I announced my availability to teach this meditation to my Catholic students. The response was great and I conducted these sessions for them in the Brothers’ Chapel,” he writes.
Bro. Joseph Michael is the Director of the Institute of Spiritual Formation of Asia, Colombo and is thus able to influence many into doing a Vipassana course! Though he truthfully admitted that Vipassana is a Buddhist meditation, his article … was published in Vachanotsavam, which is the monthly of the Vincentian Fathers of the Potta Ashram.
Here is a scan of that issue of Vachanotsavam:
Here is the letter (edited) to the editor, Vachanotsavam, in response to the story in its April 2000 issue:
25 April 2000
You must be aware that every major Catholic evangelist strongly opposes the practise of yoga by Christians even in its most innocent forms as a simple breathing exercise or physical workout.
Bro. Trevor Lewis [Jeevan Asha Ministries, Mumbai] and Bro. Fritz Mascarenhas [Bangalore] include a condemnation of yoga in all their talks whenever they preach against occult practices like Zen, Reiki, Pranic Healing, etc. I have heard Bro. Fritz speak against yoga at Divine Retreat Centre itself. I am in complete and whole-hearted agreement with these preachers. […]
So it is most unfortunate that Vachanotsavam magazine has printed in its issue of April 2000 the information that a Cardinal of the Catholic Church founded a yoga centre and died in it: Cardinal Padiyara passes away,
page 8.
That particular information should have been edited out. Its inclusion is interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as an endorsement by the Church as well as by the Potta fathers that yoga [which is promoted by a Cardinal] may be safely and beneficially practised by Catholics.
During some of his recent talks, Fr. Mathew Naickomparambil VC has been sharing about his recuperating at a nature-therapy centre in Kerala. We are concerned that it could be the same one. Could you please clarify?
Also, many of us who love Potta and Divine Retreat Centre as our own, are of the firm opinion that even if it is a different one from the Yoga Centre, it is better that we do not refer to “nature cure” when preaching Jesus Christ, as less-informed persons might get misled or scandalized. Once again, we request you to clarify your position.
We have circulated copies of this letter to evangelists and lay leaders across the country as we are concerned about the increasing acceptance in the Church of yoga as a harmless physical exercise which it is not.
Sd/- Michael Prabhu and others, [postal address in full]
I reproduce below my letter (edited) to Fr. Augustine Mundackatt VC of Divine Retreat Centre (In December 2003, I was contacted by Fr. Mundackatt and my work was used by his team on their Australia mission in January 2004):
14 June 2000
Dear Reverend Father Augustine Mundackatt VC,
Please refer to the article “On the Road with the Lord” on pages 12-14 of the June issue of Vachanotsavam which I received by post today. It was written by Br. Joseph Michael FSC from Sri Lanka. We were roommates at the Divine Retreat Centre from February 7 to 25 while attending the Intensive Spiritual Refresher Course for priests, nuns and lay leaders in fulltime ministry.
While I greatly appreciate his testimony, I would like to bring to your attention certain facts about him and hos “testimony”.
In his article, he states “(I was informed) of a vacancy existing in a course on Buddhist meditation. I opted to participate in this course conducted by Ven. Madawala Upali (his guru is a Buddhist monk!) from August 19 to September 2, 1991, at the Vipassana Meditation Centre, Kanduboda. On my return, I announced my availability to teach the meditation to my Catholic students. The response was great and I conducted these sessions for them in the Brothers’ chapel.”
I have been doing research on alternative medicines like Pranic Healing and Reiki as well as into Eastern Meditation systems like Zen, T.M., Vipassana and also the practice of Yoga. Two of my articles on Pranic Healing are enclosed herewith for your kind perusal. I have given detailed information on the subject of Pranic Healing to Advocate A.M. Mathew after discussions with him in his room on February 8. On pages 67 to 69 you will find photocopies of an article by Capt. Mervin John Lobo published in your Divine Voice magazine of September 1999, pages 11 to 13. On page 11, he lists Vipassana along with Pranic Healing and Reiki under New Age. On page 12, he writes, and I quote, “It is pathetic to state that some of our clergy and laity are fascinated with Vipassana what Gautama Buddha had himself taught … This certainly is not the teaching of the Catholic Church.
Incidentally, I have sent my articles to Divine Voice on March 3, 2000.
On page 11 of his article, Capt. Lobo writes against the use of the word OM by Christians.
It was very sad to see that at the Bible College that I attended at Divine Retreat Centre from July 4 to August 15, 1999, many of the participants (lay persons and nuns) repeatedly sang bhajans using the OM mantra!!! Many participants were very unhappy about it but we could nothing as it was welcomed by the majority.
Returning to Bro. Joseph, he admitted at our very first meeting that he was into Zen, Pranic Healing, etc. Although I showed him my work, findings, etc., he was not interested to discuss anything or to have free copies that our other four roommates gladly accepted from me. Till the day he left, he was of the opinion that those practices are not in conflict with the Bible or Catholic teaching. Please bear in mind that by his own admission he teaches these to his young Catholic students! From what I could gather in my talks with him, charismatic retreats are just one more mystical experience for him alongside his other spiritual adventures.
During our stay at Divine Retreat Centre, there was one more incident that requires your attention. I append herewith the photocopy of a handwritten statement made by me at the Refresher Course on February 18, 2000, and I now type out the matter for your reading:
On the 15th February at around 9:00 PM, after I had met with Fr. Rufus Pereira, a gentleman introduced himself to me as Paul and asked me if I am the person who has studied on Pranic Healing. I replied in the affirmative. He asked then if he could speak with me in his room no. 107. As it was occupied, he suggested my room (no. 18) which was in the other block.
I was under the impression that he wanted to learn from me why Christians may not be associated with Pranic Healing.
However, he revealed that he was trained under the founder (Master Choa Kok Sui) in 1994 at three levels (Basic, Advanced and Pranic Psychotherapy). [He said that] one Fr. George Kolath of Changanassery diocese had influenced him.
He mentioned that their leader in Kerala is Sr. Eliza Kuppozhackel. He used terminology like auras, prana, chakras, etc., and said that he could feel, if he tried to, our etheric aura layers 3 to 4″ over our physical body.
Unasked, he proceeded to conduct a demonstration for the six of us present, on how to produce and experience Pranic power and energy. (Hastily) interrupting him, I presented my findings and conclusions that such practices are unacceptable, occult, satanic and they are, in philosophy and methodology, incompatible with Biblical revelation and Church teaching.
When I concluded after about 20 minutes, brother Paul, of his own accord, knelt down in the floor and asked for prayer.
This counsellor of Divine Retreat Centre returned on 16th night and had discussions and prayer with some of the undersigned. All the undersigned are witnesses to the truth of these things.”
I gave Paul a copy of one of my articles on Pranic Healing.
Bro. Joseph did not, unlike our other roommates, involve himself in the proceedings but observed and listened from his bed. I was compelled to put the events in writing and take the witness of my roommates because a couple of days later Paul denied that he had come to my room when it was known that the matter had reached the awareness of the Divine Retreat Centre authorities. He also told my roommates that I was in dire need of inner healing, counseling, etc.
Referring once again to Bro. Joseph’s article, on page 14 of the Vachanotsavam, in the second-last para he speaks of his encounter with fulltime lay ministers who were his roommates. One was John Pereira; the other is myself.
Bro. Joseph is a wonderful person but it remains a fact that he has been subtly deceived by his exposure to Buddhist meditations and occult healing therapies.
But what floors me is that his article stating that he is a Vipassana teacher to Catholic students is carried in your Vachanotsavam magazine. […]
Also the article carries in it your name … That in fact is the reason that I am writing to you now, because he mentions that “Fr. Augustine encouraged me to put (my testimony) into writing.” Thousands of Vachanotsavam subscribers all over the world will this month read the article and be either confused or misguided by the positive certificate given to Vipassana. […]
Will someone in Divine Retreat Centre have the courage to issue a statement correcting the situation?
Now I want to bring to your notice a news item that was carried in the Vachanotsavam issue of April 2000 titled “Cardinal Padiyara passes away“. I enclose herewith a copy of it along with a photocopy of my letter dated April 25, 2000, addressed to The Editor, Vachanotsavam. I have not received an acknowledgement. Catholics are already confused as many Catholic priests are propagating yoga through training sessions and publishing of books on yoga practice and now your article gives the impression that the yoga system is approved by Divine Retreat Centre. I believe that a clarification is needed here too. It will be good for me to receive it to include in my forthcoming article on yoga.
Almost every major Catholic lay preacher in India has received copies of my articles. I send them also to leaders of prayer groups in different cities. I have met many of the personally over the last 15 years of my encounter with Jesus Christ and my coming into ministry. Many of them have blessed my work and I believe that they have used it in their ministries.
I am sure that you would like to read Fr. Fio Mascarenhas SJ’s letter to me, page 6 of the 75-page set. I met him on the 31st of March in his room at St. Peter’s Church in Bandra, Mumbai, just after he mailed that letter to me. He called me a crusader, and blessed and greatly encouraged me.
Every single lay preacher I have met is of the firm opinion that Yoga and OM chanting are totally incompatible with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of these preachers give retreats or sessions at Divine Retreat Centre. I have to congratulate the Centre that OM has never been used, as far as my knowledge goes, in praise and worship at the Centre or in retreats conducted outside. Neither does it appear in your hymn books (whereas it most unfortunately is there in the Praise the Lord hymn books of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, Bhajan nos. 368 to 373.
I have attended several retreats and programmes at Divine Retreat Centre for six years now including the first Pentecost Blaze for counselors three years ago, apart from six weeks at the first Divine Bible College. I was on the Service Team of the Charismatic Renewal in Delhi from its inception in 1982 and I was present on all days when the Potta Fathers first preached in Malayalam in Delhi at Shahdara and Noida in 1990 or 1991.
During my research into New Age alternative medicine, I was shocked to find countless nun-sisters and priests who are practitioners and teachers of every conceivable type of occult therapy from Pranic Healing to reiki and AcuYoga to Zen Shiatsu. Please read my letter dated February 3, 2000, to my Bishop regarding the Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI). The Catholic Church is being subverted from within, and we should be greatly concerned.
I have visited Holistic Healing Centres in Pune and Chennai directed by nuns who are conducting courses on these New Age therapies 365 days in the year. My report to the CBCI is under preparation. Would you be interested in getting a copy of it, Father Augustine?
Till today, not one single priest (with the exception of Fr. James Manjackal MSFS under whom I attended Fr. Rebello’s School of Evangelization in Mangalore, 1997-1998, and Fr. I. Solomon Raj SJ, my parish priest and spiritual director) has responded supportively. Will you?
Yours …
Here is my letter (edited) to Advocate A.M. Mathew, preacher at the Divine Retreat Centre:
17 June 2000
Dear Brother in Jesus Christ,
To start with I would like to thank you very much for the tremendous support and encouragement that you had given me during my discussions with you in your room on February 8 and again when I was in distress on the 15th of the same month (because of the incident with Fr. Vallooran).
Your appreciation of my research and findings on Alternative Medicine has gone a long way in spurring me into more vigorous efforts in my lonely crusade against the great and unperceived dangers to the Church. It was very heartening to hear both you and brother Fritz Mascarenhas speak out against the practice by Christians of these New Age therapies and Eastern meditations at the Intensive Spiritual Refresher Course immediately after my discussions with you both. In fact, Fritz’s words of praise for my work, made in your presence, gave an additional boost to my resolve not to give up despite the almost total lack of response from those who are in the best position to use it.
I am sure that you will be happy to learn that Fritz has accepted my application to join the International Catholic Programme for Evangelization School in Bangalore, of which he is the Director, from July 15 to October 15.
On the 8th of February I had given you a letter dated 22.01.2000 addressed to Fr. Augustine Vallooran along with several enclosures pertaining to Reiki and Pranic Healing. I also submitted to him, through you, three copies of my article no. I on New Age Alternative Medicine. Now I am pleased to enclose herewith a copy of my article no. II along with photocopies of my letter to Fr. Augustine Mundackatt and to Fr. Mathew Naickomparambil dated 14 and 17 June respectively.
These two letters refer to two articles that were published in recent issues of Vachanotsavam magazine. One of the topics is Vipassana, the other is Yoga. Both the Vatican as well as the New Covenant magazine which is the voice of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in the Church have issued warnings against the dangers of the practice of Yoga by Christians. These are include in my article on Yoga which I will be sending you shortly.
Regarding the incident about which Fr. Augustine Vallooran questioned me, you will find that one part of it (relating to the counselor Paul) is referred to in my letter to Fr. Augustine Mundackatt as I found it necessary to do so. I did not mention Fr. Vallooran as you can see.
I now feel it necessary to send you the record of the incident with preacher Bro. Aravindaksha Menon. My statement about the meeting with Paul in my room was signed by all my five roommates. This one was signed by two. It reads:
On the 16th February, at around 8:45 AM I had just entered the ground floor lobby of the main building and I was saying hello to one of the volunteers named R. Fuller. At that time, Jeswin Paul (Aravindaksha Menon) who is a senior preacher in the Centre, came to me and asked me about Dr. Paul Ganesh Iyer who was expelled from the Centre last May/June. I reminded him that I had warned him (Menon) and others three years ago that Iyer was a fraud but no one had taken me seriously and now he was doing great damage to the image of the Centre and the Church in Madras.
I also said that I had been trying to share with them all my findings about Reiki and Pranic Healing from the time of the Bible College in July-August 1999 but no one was interested. I had specifically approached Menon then but he had evinced no interest. Then, Menon in the presence of the volunteer said that one Fr. Jose Jacob (not a Vincentian but a priest who was troubling his Bishop and so was sent to stay at the Centre) is practising Reiki and Pranic Healing as well as Hypnotism. He said that Fr. Jose Jacob was residing in the Malayalam section, and the Fathers here (pointing to the rooms of the priests upstairs on the first floor) are not doing anything about it. The volunteer R. Fuller heard the entire sharing of Aravindaksha Menon. Looking at the volunteer, I once again asked Menon to repeat the name of the priest who is practising Reiki, etc., and he sad “Fr. Jose Jacob”.
The above information was again confirmed separately in my presence by R. Fuller to the two witnesses, my roommates in no. 18 in the New Block for three weeks at the Evangelization retreat and Spiritual Refresher Course February 7-25, 2000, who have signed my statement. His name may be shared in confidentiality.
The reason for the signed statement is that at the time of writing it, I had come to learn that Menon had denied saying any of the above-mentioned things to me. Praise the Lord. Dated February 20, 2000
You are aware that I left the Centre one day earlier in order to be able to attend the retreat of Jose Anathanam at Dhyana Ashram in Madras. I gave him copies of my work. He too preaches strongly against the spiritual practices like yoga, Reiki, Pranic Healing, etc.
Shortly thereafter, I spent 20 days in Mumbai and 4 days in Pune meeting leaders of prayer groups with my findings. Every one of them welcomed my work. In fact, a few days after my meeting with bro. Trevor Lewis, I had the opportunity of hearing him preach at an outreach in Thane and it was wonderful to hear him calling to repentance those in the gathering who were involved in practising Pranic Healing and Reiki.
I also met former ICCRS chairperson Fr. Fio Mascarenhas SJ. His encouraging letter to me is attached herewith.
The cancer of Eastern meditations and holistic healing has spread deep and wide into the Church. Even the late Orthodox Church Bishop Dr. Paulos Mar Gregorios was into ALL of the afore-mentioned practices, and more. He even wrote a book on the subject.
Many Catholic bishops and Cardinals have endorsed Yoga, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) etc. and some have trained themselves in them or have written glowing tributes to Catholic priest propagators in Forewords to their publications. I am presenting these evidences in forthcoming articles.
Thousands come to Divine Retreat Centre every week. The interpretation of the Bible and the Catholic doctrine and the guidelines to true Christian living that are preached there are imbibed by Catholics who are unable to get such information anywhere else. The Centre has the platform to reach the widest possible Catholic audience. It is my opinion that one talk on spiritual warfare, the occult and New Age is a must at every retreat. The issues of superstition, astrology, paying homage to Hindu gods, wearing of wristbands, etc. are usually addressed in the talk on sin given by C.K. Joseph. But emphasis must be made on the new and modern dangers such as the ones that I am writing about.
You may not be surprised to know that at both the Bible College and the Spiritual Refresher Course that I attended, there were many practitioners of Reiki and Pranic Healing among the laity and especially the nuns. After Fritz Mascarenhas spoke in condemnation of those evils, I overheard priests in the dining hall criticizing him and his stand. I spoke to a couple of them but to no avail. Recently, Vipassana training was imposed on the unwilling novices of the Pius X seminary in Mumbai.
I am writing all this to you because I believe that you are a prophet. I have met all the charismatic lay leaders in India in my eighteen year walk with the Lord. You are one man who is simple, sincere and uncompromising. I believe that you can do what needs to be done. May Our Lord guide your way.
Yours …
Here is my letter to Fr. Mathew Naickomparambil VC, founder of the Potta Ashram:
17 June 2000
Dear Reverend Father Mathew Naickomparambil,
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Michael Prabhu presently living in Chennai. I was in part-time ministry for ten years in Delhi during which time I first attended retreats preached by you and your team in Malayalam at Shahdara and Noida in 1990/91. I am now in full time ministry since 7 years during which period I have attended several retreats at the Divine Retreat Centre as well as your Centre’s outreaches in other cities. I have also been privileged to attend your counselors’ training (Pentecost Blaze), your first Bible College, and other special programmes.
I have enclosed herewith a copy of my letter to Fr. Augustine Mundackatt VC dated June 14, 2000, as well as a copy of my letter to the editor, Vachanotsavam magazine, both of which are self-explanatory.
Kindly find the time to read them very carefully as they concern two very important issues:
1. Mention in Vachanotsavam April 2000 issue of Cardinal Padiyara founding a Yoga centre
2. Mention in Vachanotsavam June 2000 issue of Bro. Joseph Michael FSC teaching Vipassana meditation to Catholic students in a chapel
I have almost completed my study and am finishing articles on the subjects of Yoga and Vipassana explaining why Catholics may not practise them.
Meanwhile I am pleased to take the liberty of enclosing herewith two of my articles dealing with the New Age alternative medicines like Reiki and Pranic Healing. I have done nearly two years of research on these and other therapies and possess a lot of information which I believe is yet unknown to the Church authorities in India. I circulate my findings free of cost to Catholics on a personal basis. I have sent copies of them to Catholic magazines including your Divine Voice but they were not published.
I have met my Bishop Most Rev. Dr. Lawrence Pius Dorairaj several times and he has taken all my papers in the form of letters to him with enclosures but he too remains silent. I have also reached one set to the Bishop of Mangalore. One such set is enclosed herewith for you. Please see Fr. Fio Mascarenhas’ letter to me. I am confident that you will do the needful.
Advocate A.M. Mathew has all my papers except the letters from March 2000 onwards.
Yours …
Here is my letter (edited) to the singing duo Glen and Teresa La’Rive, praise and worship leaders:
19 June 2000
Dearest Glen (and Teresa),
I want to bring you up-to-date with what has been happening in my life and in my ministry since our last meetings during the three weeks in Divine Retreat Centre at the Evangelization Retreat and Intensive Spiritual Refresher Course for Priests, Religious and Lay persons in fulltime ministry. […]
You will recall the incident with Fr. Augustine Vallooran that took place in the dining hall on February 15 when I was not given a proper hearing and was wrongly accused.
Because of certain articles appearing in Vachanotsavam, it has become necessary for me to write to Frs. Augustine Mundackatt and Mathew Naickomparambil and also to Advocate A.M. Mathew (copies enclosed here for you).
It became imperative also that I write to others like bro. C.K. Joseph and inform all concerned about the February 15 incident and in regard to what bro. Jeswin Paul (Aravindaksha Menon) told me, as well as what happened in my room with counselor Paul.
Read the enclosed article written by Pamela Mehta that was carried in the February 2000 issue of Nitya Aradhana, the magazine published by Fr. Jose Vettiyankal VC from the Vincentian Ashram, Chembur, Mumbai. I have already given you copies of articles from the Divine Voice, etc. written by lay persons against Yoga, Vipassana, etc. Isn’t it strange then that Vachanotsavam, another Vincentian publication, carries articles giving these practices a favourable reference?
Also refer to one article which I have given you from the Divine Bible College Souvenir 1999, page 12. Please correct the name of the author from Britto Fernandes to read as D. Charles who is the brother-in-law of the Bishop of Madras-Mylapore Most Rev. Lawrence Pius Dorairaj. In that article, Mr. Charles too has condemned Pranic Healing, Reiki, T.M. Yoga, etc.
Both bro. Fritz Mascarenhas and Advocate A.M. Mathew had the courage during the Refresher Course to warn participants not to practice the above-named Eastern meditations and alternative therapies.
But no priest at Divine Retreat Centre has as yet said a single word of condemnation against these practices.
On their return to Chennai, some retreatants brief me about the happenings at the Centre. I am very pleased to hear that you now and then mention Reiki as an occult therapy in your talk, Glen. But it’s not enough. People tell me, “He didn’t mention Pranic Healing or … …” or that you didn’t say anything at all. When I asked you about it, you said you would speak only if the Holy Spirit guides you to. But, Glen, He wants you to. There is no one else who will do so to the thousands who come week after week and who need to be enlightened about these things. For many, it might be the only or last chance to break free from deception and bondage to the occult and New Age, and to confess and be saved. What are you waiting for?
I appeal to you to speak out in every single talk that you give.
I believe that in the retreats at the Centre there should be one talk on the occult and New Age because of the high level of their occurrence in the institutionalized Church. […]
With love and thanks for your support and encouragement over the past five years.
Mike
After the incident with Fr. Vallooran, Glen and Teresa met me at the rear of the hall during one of the sessions, consoled me, and gave me a 100 rupee note in solidarity with my ministry. 100 rupees went a long way in the year 2000 and it was one of the first ever tithes that I received!
On June 20, 2000, I wrote a one-page letter on the same lines as all the above others to Fr. Mathew Elavunckal, the Director of the Tabor Divine Retreat Ashram in Kalyan, Mumbai, whom I had met there during my visit on March 21, 2000, and enclosed some of my articles.
Here is my letter to Fr. Joseph Ayyankolil VC, the Director of Arulalayam, Vincentian Ashram, Chennai:
19 June 2000
Dear Fr. Joseph,
I was very pleased to receive your kind letter dated 5th June inviting me to join the next get-together on 25th June of those who had completed the Divine Bible College (first batch) at Muringoor. God-willing, I will be there.
I had written to you that I would not be able to attend two earlier meetings at Arulalayam because I was attending the Spiritual Refresher Course at Muringoor for three weeks in February, and had again been away for three weeks to Mumbai and Pune in March.
On the 23rd of January, during my last meeting with you and our group, I had shared with all about my research and my findings on Pranic Healing.
I was apprehensive about your reaction since it was not one of the regular matters on our agenda and I had also not discussed it with you earlier. I was delighted when you allowed me to complete my presentation. And I was delighted when you later accepted a copy of my set of letters to my Bishop Lawrence Pius Dorairaj and told me that I was doing a very important ministry for the good of the Church. […]
You will recall that one of our group, Alexander, (Bible College, Malayalam, 5th batch) confessed that he was a trained Pranic Healer. One of our group, James, from the 1st batch, told me that he too is into this therapy. That makes two persons from our little group of twenty. This is evidence of how many of our charismatic Catholics are compromised.
Even at the Bible, at the Refresher Course for Priests, Religious and Laity, etc., and in every single prayer group that I’ve been to and made enquiries, I have found from 5 to 25% of their members tainted by these occult practices.
I am enclosing additional information which I am sure you will find useful. There is also the report on the Pranic Healing Convention held at Good Shepherd School, Chennai, the very same day we met and when you had blessed Stella, Alice, my wife Angela and me and sent us out there to do our ministry (of distributing my papers to the participants).
There is a Holistic Healing Centre in Mogappier, very near to your Centre, founded and headed since the last 15 years by Sr. Muriel Fernandez ICM. She runs courses on Pranic Healing, Reiki and a host of other New Age alternative therapies.
Till we meet on the 25th,
Yours …
Sadly, I have to report that this good priest left the Vincentian Congregation and the Church and serves at the “church” of the Emperor Emmanuel cult in Muriyad which is but just a few kilometres down the road from the Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor and the Potta Ashram which are run by his former confreres. He is not even permitted to preach here as all talks are given only by the cult founder Joseph Ponnara to the retreatants who come there every week. He is allowed to offer a parody of the “Mass” but with no homily.
Here is my letter to Mr. C.K. Joseph, head of the team of counselors at the Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor:
19 June 2000
Dear brother Joseph,
My name is Michael Prabhu. My walk with the Lord commenced in 1982 when I abandoned my assumed Hindu identity, reaffirmed my lapsed Catholic faith, and entered part-time ministry planting prayer groups and organizing the formation of the first Delhi Service Team of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Since 1995, I am in full-time ministry in Chennai. On the basis of my 18 years in ministry I can write to you because you always inform us of your 20 years standing in the Renewal. Still, my letter is written to you in humility and as a brother in Jesus Christ because I believe that there are things that you need to be made aware of.
I attended retreats in Malayalam preached by the Potta Fathers in the Delhi region ten years ago and organized people to reach the two centres in my car. We also organized many retreats in Delhi, two of which were preached by your Advocate A.M. Mathew about 15 years ago. I have studied the Word of God in Delhi under bro. Terence Fonn of Mumbai, and gone to Evangelization School in Mangalore under the later Fr. Francis Rebello SJ and Fr. James Manjackal MSFS. I trained as a counselor under Fr. George Jacob Poothakuzhy at the Renewal Retreat Centre in Bangalore and again at Pentecost Blaze at the Divine Retreat Centre where I also attended the first batch of the Bible College (English). It was also my privilege to attend the three months International Catholic Programme for Evangelization in Bangalore in the year 2000. Besides preaching the Word of God, I do one-on-one ministry in Catholic apologetics.
During the Evangelization cum Intensive Spiritual Refresher Course for Priests, Religious and Lay Persons in Ministry, February 6 to 25, 2000 in Divine Retreat Centre I was led by the Lord to ask you for some of your valuable time. I have always greatly appreciated you powerful talks on “sin” and the Ten Commandments, and had a high regard for your sincerity. I tried to tell you about my background and the reason for my wanting to talk with you. However, you were most unfriendly, brusque, discourteous, rude, and even arrogant. You did not even slow down your hurried walk away from the main hall and I had to keep running to keep pace with you. You thought that I was one of the participants in the regular initiation retreat and I tried my best to tell you that I was not. Finally, all I could get from you was a curt “meet me tomorrow, 11 o’clock, after the talk”. I did not think that I could do so as I was attending the growth retreat which has a different timetable but the following day there you were, passing me near the Divine Youth building.
When I interrupted you in your hurried walk, I found that you had already forgotten me and your insincere appointment.
This time when I attempted to explain my reasons for wanting to meet with you, you asked me why I was attending the growth retreat which you said was meant for priests only and you instructed me to “leave that side” and “come this side” and attend the regular initiation retreat.
It is strange that you as a lay person who is now an eminent preacher is so proud and self-conceited and treat other lay persons so shabbily without even knowing who you might be talking to. There are many, many lay people attending initiation retreats repeatedly to gain a deeper spiritual experience. These persons are tremendous evangelizers and soul-winners back in their home towns, but they come and sit with humility in the assembly at the Centre and go back unknown and unrecognized.
But the tendency for many preachers at the Centre is to put all retreatants into one category – that of spiritual beggars.
You yourself can take a look at the long, unsmiling faces (until a woman asks them for counseling) of the majority of the preachers when they come off stage, and you will understand what I mean. You are there, brother Joseph, to SERVE the people of the Lord, not to lord it over them.
This letter may hurt your feelings, but if taken in the right spirit, it will do you much good. […] You are the head of the team of counsellors. I had wanted to present you with my findings on Pranic Healing and Reiki healing. In attendance every week at the Centre, there are scores of people who have trained in or teach these occult practices back home. Your counselor Paul is a trained Master Pranic Healer. I know that other counselors in your team have recommended these New Age therapies to retreatants. Your counselors need to be educated on these matters. I had long back suggested this to your Director, Fr. Augustine Vallooran, but he too had dismissed me very curtly.
I have handed over a lot of information to Glen and Teresa La’Rive and to Advocate Mathew.
Please read the copies of my letters addressed to Frs. Augustine Mundackatt and Naickomparambil, etc. enclosed herewith, for a larger picture.
Yours …
For the third time in two years, the Potta Ashram’s Vachanotsavam magazine promotes New Age.
The errors were in the November 2001 issue in article titled “Is prayer really effective?” by Dr. Fr. George Arackal VC.
Here is my letter to the editor of Vachanotsavam under copy to Fr. Augustine Vallooran, etc.:
19 December 2001
Dear Reverend Fathers,
I was terribly shocked to read the article “Is prayer really effective?” by Dr. Fr. George Arackal VC in your Vachanotsavam issue of November 2001, a copy of which was mailed to me by a friend from Bangalore who is as shell-shocked as I am.
He wrote to me: “Apparently the author finds nothing diabolical in Pranic Healing and attributes such healing to the release of some psychic powers from the human body. He also maintains that retreat centres employ some psychological methods to get people to pray, which releases psychic energy. Is he then for or against Pranic Healing? Does he attribute healings at retreat centres to be partly due to this mysterious power? Having made a study of such matters, you will be the best person to refute these views if they are as patently wrong as they appear to be.”
Even an ordinary lay person has been able to discern the serious errors in the article. It is quite unbelievable that such an article was written by a Catholic priest. Even more amazing is that Fr. George Arackal is of the Vincentian Congregation who run the Potta Ashram and Divine Retreat Centres across India. Even if this particular priest is himself deceived, how does one explain that the article escaped scrutiny by so many supposedly Spirit-filled persons on the staff of Vachanotsavam?
It only underlines the ignorance of what is good and what is evil of those who saw it and allowed its printing.
And this is not the first time that it has happened with you.
Please read my letters of June 2000 (copies enclosed) to Rev. Frs. Augustine Mundackatt and Mathew Naickomparambil concerning the article “On the Road with the Lord” in the June 2000 issue of Vachanotsavam, written by Br. Joseph Michael FSC of Sri Lanka wherein he mentions that he taught the Buddhist meditation Vipassana to Catholic students in the De La Salle brothers’ chapel. He is also a trained Pranic Healer, etc.
I have also written to you on April 25, 2000 (copy enclosed) when in your April 2000 issue you published that a Cardinal of the Church founded a Yoga centre and died in it. I did not receive a response either from you or from any of the other authorities in the Centre. Because of your errors and lack of response, I cancelled my subscription to your magazine.
I have done much research and written several articles on Eastern meditation systems like Zen and Yoga, and New Age alternative medicines such as Pranic Healing and Reiki. They have been given personally or posted to many senior preachers at Divine Retreat Centre.
Your counselor Paul is a certified Pranic Healer and Reiki Master. Jolly Sebastian, the in-charge of the Drug Rehabilitation Centre in 1998 was a Level 2 Master Reiki Healer. The German Johannes Michael Rix who was in the Intercession Ministry, Gethsemane, under Sr. Mareena was a Level I master Reiki Healer. The last two named individuals have surrendered to me their course materials as well as their original certificates. If I as a visitor could find out these three persons, there surely must be more, many more. In fact, when I was attending the Evangelisation Retreat and Intensive Spiritual Refresher Course conducted at Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) February 7-25, 2000. I was asked by Fr. Augustine Vallooran to leave the Divine Retreat Centre for “telling lies” about the DRC which relates to my discussing my findings with others like Fr. Rufus Pereira of the International Association of Exorcists and his colleague, the Secretary of the AIE and the International Association for Deliverance (IAD), Erika Gibello, in the priests’ dining hall. I have submissible written and printed proof about the earlier names three persons.
On February 16, 2000, your preacher Mr. Aravindaksha Menon informed me in the presence of a volunteer named R. Fuller that one Fr. Jose Jacob (not a Vincentian but a priest who was troubling his Bishop and so was sent to stay at the Centre) was practising Reiki and Pranic Healing as well as Hypnotism. He was residing in the Malayalam section.
Dr. Fr. George Arackal VC may well be a trained Master in either Reiki or Pranic Healing, or like counselor Paul, in both.
His entire article contains words, phrases, ideas and philosophies that are common to New Age alternative therapies and Holistic Healing systems. He may be into Yoga or Vipassana or Zen oriental (Chinese or Hindu) meditation systems. In any case, I have to say that the priest is greatly deceived. I do not want to quote Scripture passages to show where in his article he has erred. Anyone with the least amount of discernment can see that.
I want to draw your attention to a very important point: Fr. Arackal, unlike as is the custom in articles in Vachanotsavam, did not use a single verse from the Bible in his article. People who believe in New Age stuff and practise them never do.
Are not the words of Jesus very true in the case of Fr. Arackal: “Are you not misled because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.”? (Mark 12:24)
Is Fr. Arackal trying to say rhetorically through the title of his article IIs Prayer really effective?” that it is not prayer that heals the retreatants at Divine Retreat Centre and elsewhere. In fact, one gathers from his article that it is the Self, or one’s mind, or mental concentration, or mass hysteria or group dynamics, or psychological manipulation through the use of repeated chanting (such as “Praise the Lord”, “Hallelujah”…) accompanied by the loud-volume music, that heals! Even the “atmosphere of hypnotism” that he mentions? He is certainly writing derogatorily about you all, his charismatic confreres, and yet you have published his article in your magazine.
Note also, that although a priest, he does not once talk to the three youths in the train about Jesus.
After coming regularly to your Centre for nearly seven years, I estimate that at least one person in ten at your retreats is involved in New Age occult. Former chairpersons of the Charismatic Renewal Fr. Fio Mascarenhas SJ and Fr. A.J. Thamburaj SJ bring the Hindu “OM” “under the lordship of Jesus”, recommend “Christian Yoga” and are silent on whether Pranic Healing, Reiki, Yoga, etc. are occult or not.
Will you at least break the deafening silence and speak the truth before more souls are deceived and lost?
Yours …
The very people that hundreds of thousands of retreats are flocking to for enlightenment and deliverance are themselves in bondage to every form of evil.
I did receive response from both the editor of Vachanotsavam as well as Fr. Vallooran.
There are other threads to certain issues in this present file; they will be or already have been dealt with in other reports. Some photographs follow in the report no. 04-B and the responses of the editor of Vachanotsavam as well as of Fr. Vallooran will be included there when located.

Johannes (Hans) Michael Rix
I had promised in my previous reports to provide photographs and documentation to support my claims about the Divine Retreat Centre. Muringoor. I have done so in the previous report (04) and continue here.
Above is Hans Michael Rix, Intercession Ministry, who surrendered his original Reiki Master’s certificate and other reiki materials (below) to me.
Jolly Sebastian
Trained Bible teacher and evangelist, yoga master and reiki healer, Jolly Sebastian headed the rehabilitation centre for drug attacks and alcoholics at DRC, Muringoor, even though he was unqualified to do so.
(L) Praise and worship leader, (C) Firebrand preacher John Paul, (R) Praise and worship leader Erik Pinheiro Jr.
All three were summarily dismissed/asked to leave the Divine Retreat Centre; the reasons were never known. John Paul served for exactly 5 years almost to the week he joined. He turned Pentecostal preacher.
From left: George (volunteer), me, Erik Pinheiro Jr., Vinoo Philip (preacher), Binoy (volunteer). 6/1/1996
George, in-charge of religious articles stall, was caught stealing money and evicted January 8, 1999. Pinheiro too was asked to go for reasons unknown. Vinoo Philip was delivering a falsified testimony at the married couples’ programme. He had to go when he reverted to being an alcoholic and his wife and son Raunaq separated from him a second time. Volunteer Binoy committed suicide in October 1998.
C.K. Joseph, preacher, head of the counselors; Thankachan, praise and worship leader
Thankachan was thrown out after being caught selling a cure-all powder at Rs 500 per 500 grams to English language retreatants (the matter was reported to the authorities by me)

A note to those who disapprove of our ministry
A NOTE TO THOSE WHO DISLIKE US
http://www.rcf.org/Old_web/Press/AMDG/2000springsummer.htm
By Fr. “G”. (“Roman Catholic Faithful” is an organization made up of Catholic Priests, Sisters and Laity who are trying to protect, preserve, and promote the Faith in “this present evil age”.)
NOTE: VERY SLIGHTLY ADAPTED FOR USE ON www.ephesians-511.net
First of all I want to make an appeal for clarity and honesty. Do not read this with your emotions, but with your mind. Lack of emotional control is a major contributor to the state of the world and the Church today. No matter what you have been told, feelings are not as important as truth. Truth may make us joyful or sad, it may elicit all kinds of emotional reaction, but it remains truth and so it defines reality. When a person cannot deal with the truth, they cannot deal with reality and that is a pretty good working definition of insanity.
When that occurs on a grand scale in a society or a church then truth and reality are lost and emotions and appearances (political correctness) take their place and then the inmates are truly running the asylum! It would be instructive to look at a few common and well-worn ways in which people avoid the truth.
“Shoot the messenger”! The prophets were well acquainted with this one. The incredible absurdity of believing “If I don’t see it – it isn’t there! If I can get rid of those people who tell me what I don’t want to hear then what I don’t want to hear doesn’t exist and will have no power to harm me”! This approach to discerning reality may be tested rather easily.
Go to the roof of a very tall building. You may find a sign there which warns you about walking too close to the edge, but you don’t want to hear that so you tear the sign down. Then you step boldly off the roof and out into space because you have ignored the message and destroyed the messenger and so gravity is no longer a threat. This exercise will provide an experience of profound, if brief, enlightenment!
The next two techniques are clever because they allow you to take the moral high ground. They involve (mis)quoting the Bible and are much more impressive if delivered in stentorian tones with one’s finger pointing skyward. “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone!” Now remember Jesus said this to men who were about to commit MURDER! The problem
Jesus was addressing was not in the “judgment”, but in the “execution”. As this passage is foolishly interpreted, it would follow that Moses was wrong before Pharaoh, John the Baptist was wrong before Herod and Jonah should have stayed away from Nineveh. Since the Bible declares that “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God!” It would follow that no one could correct, confront, or call anyone to repentance.
So Jesus command to the young Church to “preach repentance from sin to the whole world beginning at Jerusalem.” must NOT be followed!
The other well-worn tool of the uselessly pious is; “Judge not, lest ye be so judged!” Again, the meaning here is “do not condemn”. Only God has the right to condemn, but it may certainly be necessary to reveal the sin as part of the call to repentance, and to make common-sense judgments for the conversion of the sinner and the protection of the innocent.
Does “Do not judge” mean you would let your son go to dinner at Jeffrey Dahmers or your daughter go out on a date with Ted Bundy or would you invite your family in to have a glass of Kool-Aid with Jim Jones? St. Thomas Aquinas wrote powerfully about occasions when Priests, and Bishops and even Popes must be confronted, (As St. Paul did to St. Peter) and that these confrontations were not just acceptable, but demanded by charity. In fact, to avoid them could be a grave sin of omission.
Now we have prepared ourselves to deal with the truth. Now we have to confront a deeper and more difficult question. Is it really necessary to make these awful things public? THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH (2nd edition) says:
The right to the communication of the truth is not unconditional. Everyone must conform his life to the Gospel precept of fraternal love. This requires us in concrete situations to judge whether or not it is appropriate to reveal the truth to someone who asks for it. (Paragraph 2488)
So the possession of truth brings with it the responsibility of choosing what to do with it and love is the highest criteria for that choice. The Catechism continues:
Charity and respect for the truth should dictate the response to every request for information or communication. The good and safety of others, respect for privacy, and the common good are sufficient reasons for being silent about what ought not to be known or for making use of a discreet language. The duty to avoid scandal often commands strict discretion.
No one is bound to reveal the truth to someone who does not have the right to know it. (Paragraph 2489)
In other words, truth without love can be a brutal and terrible thing. Love and Truth must never be separated and so the only acceptable reason to reveal scandalous and painful realities is that it is an act of love.
First – love for the innocent! Stop for a moment and consider the many children who have been abused. Their bodies, souls, and faith destroyed by predators and perverts hiding behind collars and habits and protected by some bishops. Children are so vulnerable and they have had their innocence ripped away by those who are more concerned with protecting themselves and their “image” than anything else. There is a sickness and an evil here that none of us want to deal with. Only the love of the innocent will give us courage!
Second – love for the guilty! We are human and we are angry, but Jesus said “Hate the sin but love the sinner!” Those who are sick need help and those who have chosen evil need conversion because their souls also are of infinite value and it was their sins also that were nailed to the Cross. The first step in a conversion is the virtue of humility. That virtue can be painful to attain. Who truly loves the sinner? The one who enables them by action or omission to destroy themselves and others in eternal Hell or the one who loves them enough to call them to repentance? Remember the terrible things Jesus said about those who would harm His “little ones”. “Better that a millstone were tied around their neck and they were cast in the deepest part of the sea”, “Better had they never been born!” Is it not Christ-like love to call such people to conversion?
Third – love for the Church! Someone said once; “The first sign of a bankrupt spirituality is a disordered sexuality!” The Church is in Crisis and we don’t just need priests, we need priests after the mind and heart of Jesus Christ. Those who have chosen a path which is not in obedience and submission to the will of God and his Church will either have to teach falsely to justify themselves or commit grievous sins of omission by not teaching the truth that would bring self-condemnation. The sins of the shepherd always, by commission or omission, hurt the sheep!
Everything that this ministry has done, and will do, has been done out of love. Love for the innocent, the guilty and the Church. We have paid the price and will continue to do so. We believe that we speak the truth in love and that, with God’s Grace, will have an effect.
Embarrassment or even scandal is not the worst thing – HELL is the worst thing!
It may not be politically correct, but we see our task as very simple:
We want to help as many people go to heaven as we can! Sometimes, as we learn from the Cross, that cannot be done without pain. However, pain embraced with Christ-like love becomes transformed! It becomes redemptive and life-giving. When we become “enemies of the Cross” we will then become incapable of following Jesus!
So you may not like what is revealed, but please don’t “shoot the messenger”. The truth is being spoken in love and the result has already been that some conversions have taken place. At least those who prey instead of pray are aware that they are no longer free and protected, and that alone may save one child, and that will be enough!

A FEW BLUNT WORDS TO CATHOLICS
http://www.rcf.org/Old_web/REMOVESEB/angels/pageone.htm
By Fr. “G”. (“Roman Catholic Faithful” is an organization made up of Catholic Priests, Sisters and Laity who are trying to protect, preserve, and promote the Faith in “this present evil age”.)*
A very, very long time ago a pagan Greek philosopher suggested that 90% of you would not like what I’m about to say, but I do ask you to read it all and I pray that you will consider it honestly. First you must realize that we are living in the most evil of all the ages. Read your newspaper. I will take only one example – abortion. We have killed more children than any people in history, and no one else is even in the ballpark! Hitler, Stalin and the other monsters of history must peek through the flames of Hell and gaze in awe and professional admiration at the level of our barbarity. We have found a way to kill children and vote for those who protect the abortionist and we still go to Church on Sunday. We can read from the Bible about the terrible things God said about those who would harm His “little ones” and never connect those words to our own final judgment. I remember being horrified when I read in school about the Aztec Indians throwing children alive into the fire as a sacrifice to their god. How barbaric! But count the numbers. What is the output of the abortion clinics in this country each day? Who are the barbarians? Who are the monsters? At least the Aztecs will have the excuse that they thought they were serving God. What excuse will we have?
As followers of Christ and members of His Church we must stand in opposition to evil! There is a very real conflict, a “spiritual warfare” that the followers of Jesus are called to take up. This is revealed with crystalline clarity in all forms of revelation. God calls His followers to reject the ways of this world and follow him. This warfare is not for the weak or the faint of heart, and many are simply not capable. St. Thomas Aquinas said, “Grace builds on Nature.” That is why the Israelites spent 40 years in the desert. A generation of slaves with a slave’s mentality had to die off and a new people, strong and toughened by the harsh life of the desert had to rise up.
Most Catholics today seem to be like those slaves. They are simply not capable of dealing with the truth. And the truth is that the evil that is everywhere in this world is also deep within the Church. Pope Leo the XIII noticed it and composed the “Prayer to St. Michael”. Pope Paul VI proclaimed that the “Smoke of Satan has entered the sanctuary”! Throughout the history of the Church it has always been those who are within that have caused the most damage. Remember that Judas was a bishop and nearly all the heresies that have ravaged the Church throughout history have come from priests and bishops. In an earlier age we were better equipped to deal with this evil and protect the truth. No less a Saint than St. John Chrysostom said, “The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops!”
This evil has festered and grown because it has been promoted and protected by a false spirituality with its roots in the “spirit of Vatican II“. An astounding and diabolical pride has allowed us to turn away from the spiritual values that have made saints for 2000 years to embrace a false theology promoted by a false church and presenting a false god. This new god simply blesses whatever our desires, passions, and appetites crave. This god wants us to be happy and such things as sacrifice; penance and self-discipline are non-values. This is the god of the “group hug”, “we are the church”, and if you complain – “Don’t be judgmental“. This “god” is a god of love, but not the burning self-sacrificing love we see on the cross, but a phony and sick imitation, a daytime TV talk show morality, which is preached from too many pulpits and is fooling “even the elect”! It’s a god for slaves and enslavement. It has found a home deep in the heart of the Church and the Church seems incapable of dealing with it!
If we wish to survive these days with our faith intact we should learn the lessons of history. We live in a time when the laity must rise up to save the true Church. This is very difficult because we are coming out of an age when the laity looked to the hierarchy for guidance. But as it was in the time of King Henry the VIII, you may follow your pastor or even your bishop and as a result find yourself outside the true Church. This is not an age that will suffer weak faith. Soon there will only be two kinds of Catholics – strong Catholics and ex-Catholics.
Leave “political correctness” to the false church. It’s time for a little plain speech. It’s time for a little truth! There are many homosexuals in the priesthood and in the hierarchy.
Many of these are not living celibate lives, and they prey on others. They do not preach the truth of Jesus Christ because they could not do so without condemning themselves. They are in positions of authority in Chancery Offices and seek to add to their numbers by controlling vocations. They organize into “support groups” many of which are not oriented toward celibacy, but exist to provide “contacts” for sexual relationships. Priests are dying of AIDS at an alarming rate and some have even blamed the Church for not teaching them about “safe” sex in the seminary! (How safe can “safe” sex be, when Hell is the result!)? The Church has not shown any desire or ability to deal with this. Recently the Vatican told a priest and a nun to stop giving workshops across the country promoting the homosexual lifestyle. That’s nice. But they have been giving these workshops for 20 long years!! How many souls have been lost and lives destroyed while the hierarchy did nothing! Maybe your newspaper today will carry the story about another multi-million dollar lawsuit involving a pedophile priest. The judgments are so high because juries are learning that bishops knew who the pedophiles were and allowed them to continue to destroy children. Bishops protected the pervert and provided innocent victims for him to prey upon. Bishops even hide perverts by trading them from diocese to diocese like baseball players! (You take mine, and I’ll take yours.) Parents and good priests approach Church authorities with accusations and are ignored or referred to an inept committee. The goal of those in authority is simply damage control and covering it up. Recently I met with a very well-known priest who was sent to represent the hierarchy in a terrible case of sexual abuse. His primary concern seemed to be to avoid publicity. I told him we would consider his request if he would answer two simple questions. First – Would he give me just one example of the Church intervening on its own to stop that particular form of abuse? – He didn’t answer. Second – If we backed away and did not make this public and as a result of our choice another innocent person was attacked, would God hold us responsible for that terrible sin? He didn’t answer that question either. It seems that the operative spirituality of the Church has become so weak that it is no longer capable of dealing with evil. It is a fact that authorities in the Church have allowed innocent lives to be destroyed and then have covered up the crime and protected the criminal! This has been done with the thinly veiled excuse that “we must protect holy mother church from scandal”! The tragic truth is this publicity and large lawsuits have done much more to protect the innocent than the Vatican, the National Council of Catholic Bishops or the Apostolic Delegate combined!
And (with apologies to Vince Lombardi) the protection of the innocent is not the most important thing; it’s the only thing! If it is necessary to protect one innocent child then I pray that every diocese in the country will be sued for every nickel it has and every sordid detail be put on the front page of every newspaper! The Church that I love and that Jesus promised would last until the end of the world is a Church that doesn’t want to appear holy, it must be holy!
Allow me to return to that Greek philosopher and the 90%. Heraclitus was a philosopher and a warrior. During a lull in the battle he wrote a letter to the leaders of Athens regarding the soldiers he was receiving as replacements. He said that for every 100 men they sent 90 were useless. They were little more than battlefield clutter. Out of the 100, about 10 were fighters and the outcome of the battle rested on their shoulders. And maybe one, only one, was a true warrior. The spiritual warfare is no less warfare, and I believe the percentages apply. The vast majority doesn’t want to know the truth. They just want things to be “nice” and the truth and the demands it would place on them as followers of Christ are unacceptable. I appreciate those who pray but if that’s all you do, remember it says in the epistle of St. James that “Faith without works is dead and has no power to save you!” I would ask those 90% to consider joining the warrior class. You are needed! If you cannot – Then at least stay out of the way. The battle is tough enough without clutter. If you cannot fight this Goliath, at least stand back and make room for those who are going forward to sling their stones. The false charity and empty spirituality of those who mouth pious platitudes over the broken bodies and souls of the innocent is an affront to the martyrs and missionaries who gave their lives to share the true faith. I have seen, up close and personal, the heart-rending results of allowing predators to destroy children, families, and faith. A “drawing room” spirituality does not have the power to fight the malignant evil of this age. Delicate sensibilities must be sacrificed and hands dirtied in favor of a cross-centered faith! We are not fighting for principles or philosophies. We are fighting for SOULS and we must not lose!

Convicted pedophile and deportee Dominic Dixon attempts to silence this ministry’s exposés of him – 03
The contents of this web page https://www.dominicdixon.net/falseprophets (EXPOSING FAKE “CATHOLIC APOLOGIST” & FRAUD, Michael Prabhu and his illicit partner & false prophet Francis Sunil Lobo!) of Dominic Dixon has also been seen by me on WhatsApp. It is a feeble attempt by the fake doctorate and jailed pedophile to defend his name and image by maligning me and one of the many individuals, (they include his own relatives), who of their own accord approached me and helped me expose Dixon.
Dixon doesn’t name Bruce Phillipowsky, the U.S. relative whose minor son he sexually molested and for which crime he was expatriated to the US from Canada, jailed in the US and deported from Canada. It is Phillipowsky who provided this ministry with court records. It is Phillipowsky, not us, who wrote to the U.N. and whose response we published categorically denying Dixon’s purported affiliation with the UN*.
His ramblings are truly not worth rebutting point by point as we have already done so WITH DOCUMENTATION in our earlier exposés and reports.
For a claimed several-times-over “doctorate” with multiple Masters degrees, his English continues to be atrocious and pitiable beginning with the headline (“illicit partner”…? “perpetrators in the Catholic Church”?) Dixon cannot produce even a high school leaving certificate leave alone a graduate certificate or that of a Master’s or a Doctorate. He is not only a sexual deviant but also a highly-evolved con artiste.
I repeat that all the logos (U.N., Oxford, Harvard, etc.) used by Dixon are fake; they are sourced from the Internet by Dixon and pasted on his web pages. Ken Gnanakan, a Protestant whose letter Dixon reproduces on the referred web page, is the only real person among those whose letters are published by Dixon in support of him, and that too is in retaliation for my having exposed his (Gnanakan’s) association with Dixon.
*The letter from the UN is on page 4. See pages 6-8 of my report http://ephesians-511.net/docs/UNITED_NATIONS_AGENCY_DISTANCES_ITSELF_FROM_DOMINIC_DIXON.doc.
On the video at the above-referred web page of Dixon’s, every image shown — our photographs against a newspaper background — is painstakingly arranged and doctored by Dixon to give credibility to his spin. The photograph of me is copy-pasted by him from a file on my own web site.
All of the other testimonials criticizing/condemning me are anonymous. They are written by Dixon. In the past too, he could never furnish a single name of those whom he quoted concerning me.
He talks about taking me to court and filing cases against me. If he was worth taking legal action against (he is reportedly broke), we can do the same on just two of several counts:
-His claim that I faked my own death and that my wife made money (Rs. 11 lakhs) out of it;
-His claim that Francis Sunil Lobo was asked by TCS to resign from his service there because of a cybercrime case filed against him by Dixon.
Lobo was not asked to leave TCS. He simply changed his employer, VERY LONG AFTER Dixon contacted TCS to complain that Lobo was guilty of contributing to “communal disharmony” on https://ephesians511blog.com/, his blog. TCS simply ignored the calls made to them by Dixon.
As for my faking my death on my web site, there isn’t and never was any mention of my death on www.ephesians-511.net which is the link to my web site. If it wasn’t ever there, how could it be modified as Dixon claims. The referred item was posted on the ephesians511 blog on April 1, 2017, and was never modified or edited as Dixon falsely claims. For those who don’t know, the First of April is April Fools’ Day. The original post along with a few readers’ comments still stands as far as I know.
On the above-referred web page Dixon claims that my wife collected “over 11 lakhs” towards my fake funeral expenses (pretty expensive “funeral” that!)
On June 16, on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1709903205703613&id=100000518512851, Dixon had written:
As an Exhibit of their vicious schemes, in April of 2017, to collect funds, Michael Prabhu had “FAKED HIS OWN DEATH” and had a post on his website. This post is still on his website titled as “Michael Prabhu passed away due to cardiac arrest, Please pray for him”.
They further stated that his wife is in need of financial assistance.” It is said that they have raised about 21 lakhs through this deceptive scheme.
Page 5 of http://ephesians-511.net/docs/CONVICTED_PEDOPHILE_DOMINIC_DIXON_TRIES_TO_SILENCE_THIS_MINISTRYS_EXPOSES_OF_HIM.doc.
There neither IS nor ever WAS anything of the sort on MY web site. OR ON THE ephesians511 BLOG!
Note that 21 lakh rupees (in the FB post) has been scaled down to “over 11 lakhs” on the recent web page. I guess that’s ok because 21 lakhs is “over 11 lakhs” for certain.
Another falsehood from the referred web page of Dixon:
BR. CHRISTOPHER (CORREYA) WAS COMMISSIONED AND HAS UNDERGONE AN OFFICIAL TRAINING ON EXORCISM AND DELIVERANCE AT THE VATICAN.
That too is simply not true (and I have dealt with that lie in a previous report, WITH EVIDENCE – a letter to me from the Secretary of the International Association of Deliverance), like all of Dixon’s other claims.
There are a couple of reports on Correya too at our web site.
It is not impossible that Dixon, as he now claims, has been to either Canada or the USA, or both, after his serving time in jail and his deportation as a youth. He is a resourceful criminal and has mastered the art of duplicity over the years, using every possible resource to achieve his goals. Every time that one area of his humbuggery is exposed, his web site is modified. Even a chameleon would envy Dixon’s capacity to adapt.
My web site, by contrast, never undergoes any changes. What goes up stays up.
And, maybe U.S. and Canadian immigration would like to know that Dixon has been visiting!
The name on his passport and in the court/police/immigration records at his arrest and deportation (http://ephesians-511.net/docs/DOMINIC_DIXON_CONVICTED_IN_USA_DEPORTED_FROM_CANADA_FOR_SEXUAL_MOLESTATION_OF_BOY_02.doc) was Dominic FABIAN Dixon. I wonder what he goes as now on his passport.
I did not watch/listen to the 38 minute long video at https://www.dominicdixon.net/falseprophets
for more than three minutes. Since I did not plug in my audio jack, I do not know a word of what it says. If it is anything like the stuff that I have debunked above here, or in my previous exposés of Dixon, it is simply not worth any more of my precious time.
Dixon has the morals of an alley cat.
From: Paul Subject: Dr. Dixon’s attack on you. Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 18:23:17 +0530
Dear Michael,
I wanted to bring to your attention this webpage condemning you created by one of your detractors that is doing the rounds on social media like WhatsApp now:
https://dominicdixon.net/falseprophets
People who know you well will not put stock in these hit-pieces, but other people who don’t know you well might disregard the important work done by your ministry because of detractors like Dr. Dixon.
Many of his accusations are quite childish – he seems to think a person needs the permission of the diocese to call himself a “Catholic Apologist.”
But he is also making some serious accusations like saying you have faked your death in the past, and that he has been acquitted in some criminal case in Canada that you have written about.
Perhaps you should take up this matter officially at some diocesan level (perhaps some tribunal?) Can you file a case at some diocesan tribunal for being calumniated in spiritual matters and submit to the Archbishop of Chennai and to the bishop of the diocese to which Dr. Dixon belongs a refutation of his attack on you.
One of my friends who read this latest attack by Dixon contacted me over WhatsApp because he knows I am occasionally in touch with you and said, “I don’t believe most of the accusations that Dixon casts on Michael, but this claim of having faked his own death for economic benefit needs to be specifically refuted by Michael else many people will get a wrong impression about him.” It would probably be a good idea to write a separate refutation on your website regarding this particular claim.
IMPORTANT NOTIFICATION
The following report was published at our web site at the end of February 2017:
DOMINIC DIXON
CONVICTED IN USA DEPORTED FROM CANADA FOR SEXUAL MOLESTATION OF BOY
The guilty pedophile Dixon swung into action immediately as can be seen in the Canadian court document that we have reproduced on the following five pages. After the last filing and final judgement of June 9, 1998, the next entry, an Application from Dixon is dated March 21, 2017 (19 years later)!
Another entry (Edmonton, Canada) dated March 22, 2017, reads “The Applicant’s request to remove data from the Federal Court website shall not be entertained informally by the Court“.
Dixon’s desperate attempt to have at least some traces of his criminal background expunged from online records through a judicial review failed miserably.
The Ottawa, Canada, court’s final entry, as recently as on August 28, 2017 reads “Despite the Applicant’s remarks regarding the effect of record of deportation order from the Court’s website, the fact remains that there is no evidence that removal of information would remedy the situation or that the appeal stands any hope of success“.
One can see at https://dominicdixon.net/falseprophets that Dixon is in denial about his being convicted and deported for pedophilia; he is now (futilely) attempting to erase past records so that he can make us liars.
He uses euphemistic language but never names exactly what it is that he is accused and guilty of.
And the Canadian Court now addresses and records him as “Doctor” Dixon. What if we told them the truth?
That is the Dominic Dixon that the Archbishop of Bangalore Bernard Moras, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Chairman Simon Rodrigues, the Protestant Mr. Ken Gnanakan and others defend and support!

Dear Michael, Haven’t heard from you in a long time. Hope you are keeping well. This mail is urgent.
xxxx had forwarded me the below attached WhatsApp message last night, which I just saw this morning. When I checked on number identification App Truecaller, it was a religious by the name ‘Merv V’. Please do check it ASAP.
https://dominicdixon.net/falseprophets
From: xxxx Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 08:04:10 +0530
I don’t know any religious Merv V. How this person Merv V got my number and sent me the WhatsApp post I cannot figure out. This number I didn’t have at that time. It seems to be Dixon using a name to throw others off from him.
A lot of people are upset with you Michael. Nothing new. They feel threatened for whatever reason. Maybe it’s the guilt in their conscience. Nobody reacts like this if it were not true, except those carnal in nature. It’s pure justification of their wrong doing.
I don’t know much personal details of Dixon, but yes that he was not recognized at Potta by Fr. Augustine Vallooran, VC.
You can see the message is hate mail, nothing else.
I have not heard from you about your “faked” death or from anybody else.
God bless you brother.
Over to you, “doctor” Dixon…

Peering toward the End: A short daydream about my Death
https://onepeterfive.com/death-peering-end/
By Mary Donellan, November 8, 2017
“My Lord and my God, from this moment I accept at Thy hands, with resignation and cheerfulness, the kind of death it may please Thee to send me, with all its pains and anguish.”
Despite the countless daydreams I’ve indulged in throughout my sanguine life, it struck me a few days ago that I have never purposefully daydreamed about my death.
This is odd, because of all potential subjects with which I could daydream up a storm, my death is the one thing in life I can count upon to actually happen to me. As befits the sign of contradiction that is the Catholic Faith, my death will be the defining moment of my life: its summation, its crowning note, for better or for worse – salvation or damnation, forever. Yet, curiously, it has ranked low on my “let’s daydream about this today” list.
And so the premise intrigued me: to daydream about my death.
Echoing the traditional prayer, I embrace whatever death Our Lord has destined for me, down to the tiniest details. With that kept in mind, I recently sat down and wove my first daydream of my death.
* * *
Peering toward the end, I would first like to imagine I’m not dying in a hospital. Rather, I’m dying wherever my home is.
I’m lying in a small room, a quiet room, with no electronics but certainly a window. There’s a hand-crocheted blanket at the foot of my bed, and I’m surrounded by a simple arrangement of the holy images I’ve come to hold dear: the Sacred Heart of Jesus; the Sorrowful Heart of Mary; St. Joseph; St. Anthony; St. Raphael; a Madonna and Child, especially “The Song of the Angels”; St. Faustina. Perhaps most important of all, Our Lady of the Rosary, since it was on her feast that I first totally consecrated myself in St. Louis de Montfort’s method.
I don’t know exactly what my sufferings will be, but, reflexively, I include pain in this daydream. Most likely, it is the worst pain of my life, but it is also a consolation, because I know that Our Lord is bestowing on me the gift of suffering that purifies my love for Him. It isn’t a pain that robs me of peace, but rather, it is a channel of grace and final charity to my soul.
The room in which I’m lying is very still. However, through the walls, I can catch the muffled sounds of children playing and of dishes clattering; footsteps, maybe a slightly stumbling piano practice. These familiar household sounds remind me that while my approaching death is the most intense and perilous moment of my life, I’m just a grain of sand in God’s universe, and that time and the people within it will carry on without my physical presence for as long as He sees fit. I’m passing out of time; I am not the center of it, nor ever was.
This thought is overwhelming – a mystery I can’t even begin to touch, and one that frightens me more than a little but is nevertheless true and unavoidable. I am leaving time and entering eternity. I am on the brink.
As I lie dying, surrounding me in the room are a handful of persons softly murmuring the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary in Latin (because I will die a stickler for Latin, and they will lovingly accommodate my wishes in hora mortis). In the present moment of daydreaming about this, I’m not sure who they are, though I see them as my family, either by blood or because we are members of the same Church Militant. Are they my future husband, future children, future grandchildren? Parish friends? Sisters in Christ whose babies I’ve held, tears I’ve dried, and with whom I’ve traded many a phone call over the hectic cacophony and quiet stillness of the unfolded tale of my life? Or are they strangers?
Naturally, the presence of my future husband enters my consideration here. But I’m not sure. Is he here, praying for and with me, holding my hand with the unwavering softness and steadiness that comes from a lifetime of knowing, loving, and forgiving me in the Sacrament of Marriage…or am I without his physical presence? Have I already helped him in his own death, and am I now suffering mine alone?
If I must choose this detail, I would choose for my future husband already to be gone (although this is one of the countless reasons I am so very thankful Our Lord is in control, and not me – I won’t have to actually decide!) – first, because he is, hopefully, praying for me with a power he could not have possessed on earth; second, that I could offer up my loneliness without him as another sacrifice to God for reparation; and third, because his physical absence would remind me all the more sharply that my approaching death is completely between God and myself alone.
But regardless of anything else – of anyone else in the room – of whether they’re my children and I’ve lived decades of my life with them or if I’ve never seen them until these last moments…notwithstanding all these things, there is the priest.
In my daydream, I don’t need to know this priest’s name, to recognize his face or the modulations of his voice. I simple need to know he is there. This faithful priest sits beside me in a kitchen chair (relocated to the bedroom), his head bowed slightly. He is accompanied by a Crucifix, a burning candle, the fragrant scent of holy oils, the book containing the traditional Last Rites. He is a powerful warrior, armed to defend and aid me in my last combat. Wholly, he is focused on protecting me and ushering me in to eternity. This is consoling beyond all words.
He murmurs along with the Rosary, helping me to pray, and I am holding his hand as the intensity escalates, both of my physical pain and also of the knowledge that my soul is separating from my body and I’ll soon be judged. Even as I whisper the Aves, I feel temptations to terror and despair sweep over me. My sins and failures, distended and grotesque, flicker sharply through my mind. I pray in fragments, terrified in final battle.
This good priest at my side, having already heard my Confession and absolved me, senses this: he urges me to have childlike trust in God and to surrender my soul entirely to the Blessed Virgin’s care, reminding me that I made myself entirely hers, and she will not forget me now. Repeatedly, I beg him to pray for me; in response, he nods and continues the Aves.
The Rosary is soon finished, and my surroundings become a haze of fading time. As the tempest of fear thickens within me, I begin to hear the names of the saints.
Holy Mary, pray for her.
All ye holy Angels and Archangels, pray for her.
Holy Abel, pray for her.
All ye Choirs of the Just, pray for her.
Holy Abraham, pray for her.
St. John the Baptist, pray for her.
St. Joseph, pray for her…
My soul warms at the name of the Blessed Mother; my patron, St. John the Baptist; and good St. Joseph. My eyes are closed now; I pray along with this last litany with increasing physical feebleness. The pain is at its highest point – but at the same time, I foggily sense that it is my rope to Heaven and I cling to it.
The priest’s voice finds me again.
“Go forth, O Christian soul, out of this world, in the name of God the Father almighty, Who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, Who suffered for thee; in the name of the Holy Ghost, Who sanctified thee; in the name of the holy and glorious Mary, Virgin and Mother of God; in the name of the Angels, Archangels, Thrones, and Dominations, Cherubim and Seraphim; in the name of the Patriarchs and Prophets, of the holy Apostles and Evangelists, of the holy Martyrs, Confessors, Monks and Hermits, of the holy Virgins, and of all the Saints of God; may thy place be this day in peace, and thine abode in holy Sion. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
His prayers continue, guiding me like a small ship through a mighty storm while I, wearily but with hope, look for the first sign of stars as the last pieces of time fade around me.
Beyond this point, I can’t formulate much more. The precise moment of death is, perhaps, too shrouded even to daydream about. I do wish for one last thing, though: that this good priest, in my last minutes, be able to assist me in making a final renewal of my Total Consecration.
In the presence of all the heavenly court I choose thee this day for my Mother and Mistress. I deliver and consecrate to thee, as thy slave, my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, and even the value of all my good actions, past, present and future; leaving to thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me, without exception, according to thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity…
And even as I am praying this to the best of my ability, clinging to the priest’s hand, still hearing snatches of children’s voices and dishes clinking from behind the walls, I imagine the storm fading away; the tempest calming in my soul; the pain, even, ebbing; and, too wonderful almost to hope for, I imagine at last witnessing the mysterious fulfillment of Our Lady’s promise to those who honored her Seven Sorrows:
I will visibly help them at the moment of their death; they will see the face of their Mother.
And I exhale and close my eyes for the last time; and yet it feels as though I’m opening them.
* * *
It’s a strange feeling, to have woven a daydream of my own death. And yet there’s a sense of peace hovering about the completion.
In contemplating what it might be like, in hoping fervently for a holy one, and in having to depart from the daydream just before the actual moment of my death, I can’t resist a glance at Screwtape’s last letter of ranting failure to Wormwood, which can now stand in the place of what I chose to leave unsaid:
He saw Him. This animal, this thing begotten in a bed, could look on Him. What is blinding, suffocating fire to you, is now cool light to him, is clarity itself, and wears the form of a Man. You would like, if you could, to interpret the patient’s prostration in the Presence, his self-abhorrence and utter knowledge of his sins (yes, Wormwood, a clearer knowledge even than yours) on the analogy of your own choking and paralysing sensations when you encounter the deadly air that breathes from the heart of Heaven. But it’s all nonsense. Pains he may still have to encounter, but they embrace those pains. They would not barter them for any earthly pleasure. All the delights of sense, or heart, or intellect, with which you could once have tempted him, even the delights of virtue itself, now seem to him in comparison but as the half nauseous attractions of a raddled harlot would seem to a man who hears that his true beloved whom he has loved all his life and whom he had believed to be dead is alive and even now at his door. He is caught up into that world where pain and pleasure take on transfinite values and all our arithmetic is dismayed.
Mary Donellan forgot just one deathbed rite: the Apostolic Blessing* or Apostolic Pardon ministered by a priest after the Sacrament of Extreme Unction/Anointing of the Sick, the receiving of which guarantees that one does not go to Purgatory but straight to heaven. I have written to Steve Skojec, the owner of the IP5 (OnePeterFive) blog about this.

1. I am 65 years of age and – as my Priest said – we should live every day as if it were our last. Thank God for the morning and the events of the day until we meet Our Maker. Well written piece of work!
2.
May it please the Good Lord to allow a priest to also accompany me as I face that portal into eternity.
3. Confession, Confession, Confession! What horror to be at the point of death and to have to remember and have contrition for, ages and ages since last Confession. Weekly is not too often. I think of my death too and at 73 I’m reminded that I perhaps don’t have that much time until I am called to my judgement. Death is so terrifying that most of us don’t think of it at all – we say “yes, we all have to die” but we don’t really mean it!
So thanks for this essay. Timely and well done.
4. Based on my experiences of 30 plus years in nursing, 8 in hospice, I do not see a lot of people who are alert and in full possession of their faculties until the very end. That is why it’s important to go to confession now, while you can, and to be sure your family members know the importance of calling a priest before it’s too late. Families who hold off calling the priest to not frighten the patient are doing a disservice, no matter how kindly their intentions. Arrange for the anointing, Viaticum, Apostolic Pardon. Tell your family you want this. Don’t make the mistake of just putting this in your will; by the time it’s read you would have passed on.

Most of the information on the following pages was accessed by me through an unsolicited email dated April 5, 2006, from an unknown source. (My first exposé on the Divine Retreat Centre (DRC), Muringoor was DIVINE RETREAT CENTRE ERRORS-01 and it was released in August 2006.) For over 11 years from 2006 till date, I had no intention or occasion to contemplate making the details public. It is being done presently as part of the new series titled DIVINE RETREAT CENTRE SCANDALS AND COURT CASES, and the reasons for my being constrained to do so are explained in the (INTRODUCTION) file of September 30, 2017 (in brief, because of the non-action of the Vincentian Congregation in the serial sexual molestation and rape of young women by Fr. Joby Kachapilly VC, the Director of a Retreat Centre managed by the same congregation of Vincentian priests which runs the Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor. The running series of the rape-related reports is titled RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE BY INDIAN PRIESTS-CHURCH FAILS TO PUNISH GUILTY.
The http://www.YouMeAndJesus.com site is defunct since I know not when. Not expecting to use any of the information or the site to be pulled, I did not access many of the links that appear on the following pages and the information is not retrievable today. Much of the information extracted/recorded below is incoherent and rambling, but it underlines the intrigue and worldliness of those who run/manage/operate the various ministries, especially the music and media ministry, at DRC, Muringoor.
Even the rapist priest Fr. Joby was into music ministry and the commercial production of audio albums.
I make no personal judgement on the “singing couple” Abey and Swapna. I have always had a good personal relationship with them, with Swapna by email, and with Abey Kalisseril by telephone even till very recently. During the period that I used to visit the DRC, from 1995 to 2000, and for a few years thereafter, they were the praise and worship ministry favoured by Fr. Augustine Vallooran, even while Glen and Teresa LaRive were growing as an alternative, though less glamorous, team. The news going around was that the sale of Glen LaRive’s recorded music tapes was not being allowed on the DRC premises in order to encourage the promotion of those of Abey & Swapna, and that the latter were benefiting financially whereas Glen was not.
The Kalisserils would get to perform at virtually all the overseas missions whereas the LaRives were ignored.
Glen and Teresa renained faithful and humble (unlike most DRC staff), driving from Kochi to DRC in order to serve when summoned. When Abey walked out on Swapna and their children Adrian and Amy, and the couple was no more welcome at the DRC, the LaRives took over.
The other musicians in the English section were the brilliant singer and keyboard artiste Thankachan who was dismissed from DRC probably following a complaint made by me that he was making money on the side through the sale of a medicinal cure-all powder (details in one of the earlier reports), and Erik Pinheiro (Sr.).
The late guitarist Pinheiro shared with me about the miserable politics behind the scenes and how people like him were used/misused, shabbily treated, and thrown out of DRC on a regular basis, on the whims and fancies of Fr. Augustine Vallooran. In one of his letters to me, which I will reproduce in a forthcoming report, he reveals more of the sad inside story of the DRC music ministries in his own handwriting. He assured me that he was never reimbursed even for his travel from his residence to Divine Retreat Centre to conduct Praise and Worship. He is not alone; I have heard the same story from several other staffers and volunteers.
While reproducing below whatever content of the http://www.YouMeAndJesus.com site I had accessed and stored in my archives in 2006, I have deleted a lot of extraneous information as well as images.
Despite that, some of the content below is almost incoherent. Much of it has been used by me just to show how complicated the entire off-stage behind-the-scenes scenario at DRC is. There are accusations of cheating, blackmailing, betrayal, vendetta, filing of police complaints, computer hacking, etc. bandied about.
Strangely, several of the leading players linked to DRC music ministry in the dialogues and chats one will read below are not Catholics but ex-Catholics (or “born again” PENTECOSTALS like “pastor” Rajesh Mathews of the Joshua Generation “church” and John Kodiyil – who is also now a “pastor” I understand).
The reader will also find a few reports of allegations of rape, murder, suicides, mysterious deaths, foreign exchange violations, defrauding, suing, issuing of arrest warrants, etc. at the DRC.
A substantial portion of the dialogue concerns money… and impersonation using social networking sites!
I would have probablty had a whole lot more of information had I accessed all of the links in 2006 immediately on receipt of the anonymous email of April 5, 2006.

Physical abuse and other atrocities by Abey Kalisseril!!!
PHOTO OF ABEY / SWAPNA
– Swapna Abraham talks it all
Didn’t Abey Kalisseril repay Swapna’s dowry?
Ha ha… Very interesting… Usually when we were in mission, we never saved anything. Just made enough to cover our expenses and if there was any excess, it was a common account, until last year when I realized I never had anything and we decided to halve it until every joint activity ended. The debt is on the house that I was building in Ooty. I just have to keep paying an instalment every month. The builder of that house now knowing my position, also a friend of Abey’s has cheated me by a fairly huge amount. I let God deal with him. Just hope that he will finish most of the work in a month’s time so that it will be a liveable house and I can shift to there from here. Cannot bear the rent over here and all the other expenses… The other major debt is from my dad and from a girl friend to restart business… and to relocate myself in Chennai. Since my revenues are not being generated yet, I have to ask my dad or my friend to help me for everything. The children were with me for their hiliday and it was no joke taking care of all their needs during the holiday and preparing them for school.
He has told me that he will not pay me maintenance, not repay my dowry, he wants half custody over the children, right now his father who has a big business enterprise takes care of the children’s school fees. I do not want to go for any suit as it will put the families to great shame and more than that, disgrace the Name of my God. The effect on the children will also be traumatic and so I agree to everything, except to gamble with my life all over again. Am not too old now, but if there will be a repeat of this experience ten years from now… I will be at a total loss to start all over again.
It will be rather hectic for me to make it on the 20th. I have a school mate visiting from New York. But I will try. In any case, I will keep you informed. God bless you Uncle. It has been truly interesting sharing with you. What does Aunty do and in what is Sunil doing? Do tell me a little bit about your son, so I will be prepared.
Till next time… take care.
Warm regards,
Swapna
SIT to probe allegations against Muringoor Divine Centre
Wednesday, March 15, 2006, 10:40 PM Kochi: The Kerala High Court on Friday directed the Government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by Vinson M. Paul, Inspector General of Police who is now working as Director, Kerala Police Housing Construction Corporation, to probe into various allegations, including sexual exploitation of women against the Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor in Thrissur district.
Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair also ordered that the SIT should inquire into the allegation of foreign exchange violations by the centre and unnatural deaths that took place in and around the centre during the past two years. He ordered that the team be constituted within two weeks.
The direction came on an anonymous letter complaining about criminal and anti-social activities taking place at the centre. After initiating suo motu proceedings on the basis of the letter, the court had received a complaint from a woman detained at the District Jail, Kozhikode, saying that a priest at the Divine Centre raped her. She was detained in the jail in connection with a theft in the centre. According to her, she had filed a complaint before the District and Sessions Judge, Kozhikode, regarding the rape. She said that the police were not investigating the case. She alleged that in the past two years, a number of dead bodies were found on the National Highway and the railway track near the centre. According to her, these deaths were not deaths due to accidents.
She, in her complaint, said that the bodies were buried in the public ground. The keeper of the burial ground had once objected to bringing dead bodies having injuries. He was found dead in mysterious circumstances within two months. Women coming to the centre were being sexually exploited by the priest at the centre, she alleged.
The court said that the investigation into the complaint of the woman was in cold storage. The attempt of the investigation officers was to exonerate the accused and make the complainant as accused.
The court ordered appointment of a senior officer in view of the allegations that senior IAS and IPS officers were associating with the functioning of the centre. The court also made it clear that it was open to the SIT to resort to scientific methods such as polygraph test, brain mapping and DNA finger printing. The preliminary report should be filed within one month.
– This news came in the Hindu newspaper
Is Fr.Augustine Vallooran telling the truth about Divine webmaster Ruben Gerad Mathew? Why did he want our website address and money?
“I personally refute all the false accusations and defamatory remarks you mentioned in your email of 22 February, 2005 sent to the Catholic Spirituality Centre against the directors and volunteers of the Divine Retreat Centre…
Mr Reuben Gerard Mathew has never been a web master of Divine and has never done a website for Divine, although he volunteered to provide such a service in the past. Divine Retreat Centre is not responsible for any of his personal dealing with you.
After my conversation with Abey & Swapna … as Abey & Swapna have an FBI report supporting their claim…” – Fr.Augustine Vallooran, director of Divine Retreat Centre

Investigation in wrong direction. (0)
Thursday, January 12, 2006, 06:56 PM – Divine News
KOZHIKODE: The investigation into the case related to the allegation by
a woman that she was raped by a priest attached to a divine retreat centre
in Thrissur district seems to be moving in the wrong direction. The initial response from the police shows that the probe is loaded against the woman. The police are more keen on gathering the details of the past history of the woman than finding the answer to the vital question as to whether the woman was raped by the priest. While the police maintain that ninety percent of her statement is found to be false, the reluctance on their part in going for a DNA test to establish the fatherhood of the child, given birth by the woman in the jail here, is raising suspicions.
The incident came to light after the woman, now remanded in the jail in connection with a theft case, submitted a petition to the District Judge. After receiving the petition, the judge directed the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Koyilandi, to conduct an inquiry. After the inquiry, the magistrate sent the report to the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Chalakkudy, as the case comes under the jurisdiction of the latter. The Chalakkudy Magistrate then asked the police to investigate the case under Section 356 (3) of the CrPC. The magistrate had also sent a mobile phone used by the woman to Chalakkudy, which was also handed over to the police. The police are going ahead with the presumption that what the woman said in the complaint may not be true. Their argument is that the woman has a shady past.
Further, they say that there is no priest by the name mentioned in her complaint. Police also say that there is no record in the retreat centre to prove that the woman was staying at the centre as claimed by her. They say a clear picture may emerge only after arresting the person who is a co-accused in the theft case. But legal circles here say that the police could go for a DNA test, which would be a vital evidence in the case. But the police are yet to think of the possibility. The police have not yet gathered the details from the mobile phone, which will also give lead in the investigation.
Examination of the printouts of the call register of the phone can establish whether there was any communication between the priest and the woman. The woman is still lodged in the jail as she refuses to come out on bail though is eligible for the same.It is learnt that she is reluctant to come out as she has apprehensions about her safety. The State Women’s Commission, which also recorded her statement, also has expressed concern over her security.

Friday, January 13, 2006, 05:15 AM – Ruben Gerad Mathew, Divine News, Avenger Inc. AND
PHOTO OF RUBEN GERAD MATHEW
Dear Mr. ,
The situation here is bit difficult to explain. From what I read I am really really confused. I have two versions of the same story. I will try to answer all your questions…
1. When did I register the website for your friends Abey & Swapna on their request (ref: “which your husband registered for him”)?
I believe that you helped Abey and Swapna by creating a site for them, which they have published in all their prayer retreats.
2. How do you know that I am making money out of this website? Do you mean I can’t publish my book also?
The site in the begining was used for promoting Abey and Swapna, but now Bravanet which pays for ads, banners posted on your site on pay per click and many other ways… but that is not the problem, you stopped everything on the website helping Abey and Swapna. I have created so many websites for Jesus, and Yes I have not even put in my name anywhere. “Because what the right hand gives, the left should not know.” So I don’t support your viewpoint.
3. How do you know that I am on H1 visa? What is my personal document with you?
I was just pointing out that if there arises any problems here that the embassy should be notified, such as a case in court, etc. it may directly affect your H1 visa, and you may have to return. I am a software engineer so I know what it takes to get a job, and to get a H1.
4. How do you substantiate your statement that I am against the well known couple?
When you stopped helping them, it also means that the audiance that they had are comming to you, maybe with their personal problems, for a comforting word, maybe just to see them once more. But now that you decided to stop helping does also mean that people who were notified in the earlier stage of this point of contact have no way of reaching them.
5. “So defiantly people who hear this matter will only support them.” Do you mean people will attack or kill us on your friends Abey and Swapna’s request?
Dear , none of us exhibit any violent behavior, support is to mean “SYMPATHISE”. And see you as the black sheep. All you did is irrelavent only what you are doing this moment matters… Infact when you did not reply “Avenger” wanted to know more about you, and teach you a lesson, and did hack into your netzero account and got even upto your credit card number and password, locked out your account, retrieved your postal address, so if I wanted to harm you in this last week can you begin to imagine what I could have done to you? I held my peace for I wanted to get to the bottom of all of this, and I belived your wife and she told me you were in finantial problems, do you know how many non refundable schemes are open on the internet for me to have used your credit card and really harmed you?
6. In your email you said that “Now the only point of contact he mentioned is the website address, which your husband registered for him.” Dont your friends have a different point of contact like their website like abeyswapna.org or email address or something like that as printed on their albums ‘Storm The Heavenlies’ and ‘The Presence’?
They don’t have a website yet, but I will be creating one for them very soon, and it may be online within next two weeks, for I work for all Divine’s Websites.
7. You said that “Abey can very well use Divine’s hold on the Embassy to get you all back here which evidently can result in loss of your husbands job.” Is “Divine”, the Divine Retreat Center or Potta which stand for evangelizing the world with the gospel of Jesus? I do not know Abey’s hold. If I want to know something let me know. So Divine and Abey will get a new job for me after I lose the job through them or will they pay any alimony for my family rest of my life?
You see Divine members are not computer literate, at least the majority of them, so most of this goes over their head, the only thing everyone knows now is that Abey and Swapna had a website, and that now you have decided to market yourself instead of Abey and Swapna who worked so hard to get all the people to contact them through this website. Can you deny that you are not getting mails for Abey and Swapna even now?
8. You said that “It is true that if I had not intervened they would have used their influence to get him back to India to resolve the matter, and I said not to do that, but I will try to talk to him.” So what’s the matter?
I informed them all that I will try to get the website back. Which means to compesate in full whatever the expenses occured till date to you, and even told Abey and Swapna not to call you and that we will resolve the matter. I will buy the site from you.
9. You mentioned in the last part of the email that “I will also make sure that you will not receive any more calls or any more action from Divine, or Abey or anyone else.” Your email was dated 5/21/02. But I received the next threatening email from Abey & Swapna on 5/22/02 before even I replying to you or your friend. Abey and Swapna mentioned in that email that I asked for Glen’s email address and I am trying to destroy Glen. Do you think is there any wrong in asking Glen’s email and his website address which will destroy Glen?
Well, the fact is that this is a messy problem, and they don’t want to get more members of Divine involved in this, but solve the matter discreatly.
10. The following is an exerpt of Abey’s email came to me on April 5 & 6, 2002.
“We are also stopping all production of Anoint Me in India.Your money that you gave for Anoint me will be given to your parents in instalments as soon as we reach India.” April 6, 2002 from Abey & Swapna “You can take us away from your site and we will remove it from our cassette and CD covers.” April 5 from Abey & Swapna
Please remember you had introduced your book and bravanet popups for them to react in this manner. And I do belive that if you do the same to anyone else they may react in the same way. What if I decided that in the Mercedes Benz site that I host if I were to sell my books and unnecessary popups, then will the company keep quite? Especially if they have advertised all around the world? They may shoot me dead.
11. Your friend Abey wants to put their content as per their request on Dec. 2000 then again in Sep.2001. As per his request on April 5, he wants to remove it. Now he wants the FTP information. I am really confused now. I though that he already removed it from their cassette and CD covers.
What cassetts, cards, cds have been sold cannot be undone, so you have all the mails of Abey and Swapna comming to your website address, and that volume of traffic. Hey if you can clear your concieance in front of God then I have nothing more to say.
12. Ruben, you are right. This is not what we wanted to show the world and not really what God want from us. I am happy that you are attending all these youth meetings. Young people need hope. I pray that God will help you greatly in fulfilling his plans in your life. Are you married? Any Kids?
I am not married, and devout Christian, and try to be useful to God with every abilty that is given to me. For I started out in computers over 12 years ago, and today I am at my very best which I use to serve God.
12. “Jesus replied, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.” Mathew 19:19 NIV
The word is not in my memory but in me, and everything I do. Thank you, I live for this stuff :-).
I want you to sell me this jesusandyou.com site. This will remeady the current situation completly. Please do hear me, for I speak knowing all developments here and your position there. You are my assignment that Jesus gave me now, and I will try to bring the best out of it. I will make sure that you will never be troubled again in this matter by anyone…
P.S. Dont maintain your records online ever again. Nothing is impenetrable. Sorry for the intrusion… I had no choice when you did not reply…
What I would love to see in your next mail is the price for the website, and you need to give it only after you recieve the money.
Love in Jesus,
Ruben.

Divine Retreat centre is in the dark (0)
Monday, January 16, 2006, 08:38 PM – The Truth
Dear ,
I read all the e-mails you sent. I was very sad to read the contents. Whatever is happening has nothing to do with Divine. This is a personal matter between Ruben, Abey Swapna and you. Ruben is not a part of the Divine staff and is not at the divine but in his house in Trivandrum. Fr. Augustine had enquired with me after you spoke to him about this situvation. Abey and Swapna are on their own on most of their ventures abroad and so Divine Retreat centre is in the dark about this problem or regarding the money they collected etc.
We from here can only pray for all of you to solve this together instead of getting at each other since we are all god’s children. “Blessed are the peace makers for they will be called the children of God “(Mat. 5/9). I think all of you should forgive each other and get along with your ministries. I don’t think Fr. Mathew will interfere in this matter, but I am sure that he will pray for this to be solved.
Praying for you and the others

Who is Fr.Augustine’s superior? (0)
Tuesday, January 17, 2006, 12:55 PM – Fr.Augustine Vallooran
Divine Retreat Centre is formed by the Vincentian Congregation under the direct supervision of the Bishops, and all retreats, conventions and/or outreach ministries are organized with proper interaction carried out only on official invitations received by the Bishops or parish priests of any state, province, country or nation. There is complete transparency in all financial dealings and all accounts are administered and audited by the Vincentian Order. All administration and dealings are handled only by the Board members under the direct supervision of the directors and Bishops. – Fr.Augustine Vallooran
Well, Fr.Augustine has a river of people surrounding him – he forgot to say Divine Retreat Centre is a non-profit organization or not. What I don’t get is, who’s his superior or at least the bishop who has some authority over him – does anyone know? Even the organizers of Retreat programs give conflicting answers to this. Just contact us if you have the information.

I spoke with Achan before he left for India in detail about this. Using Divine’s name for a wrong purpose is wrong – He agrees, and anyone else will agree. But, Divine will not “take action” against wrong doers. They always forget and forgive. They understand the issue and you have made your point through all of them. I feel, it is wiser to leave it at that as far as your pursuing this with Divine. Fr. Vallooran and Panackal & Fr. Mathew are the supreme administrative authority of Divine. You have informed all of them. That is how I see.

As I mentined to you in our conversation, I consider this as a pure personal matter. Everyone I talked is taking the same stand. As I see, you have options either to let it go with a Christian spirit or to take it up with them directly. In my opinion, all other efforts are waste of time.

I have absolutely NOTHING to do with you, your progrmmes or cancellations. Many are under the impression that someone is playing a double role in this.
As per Achans request retreats are arranged at 3 places and it will take place if Achan is arriving at Chicago on 21st.
I have NOT received any schedule or plan for Abbey and Swapna, though I requestsed you several times to help them to do both. All what you have written in the email may give a good impression on you for readers; But I am getting an opposite picture. We could have done this very nicely if you co operated a bit more.
There is no harm in doing any programs for Abey and Swapna anywhere after March 4. In fact, I would have even helped you out if you wanted. By this email, it appears to me that you do not want to take that responsibility to help them out and want to pass the blame on others.
Abey, if you all are available in Chicago on 21st for retreat, please let me know and we will take it from there. If that is not possible, please let me know that too. Thanks.

If you have any plans for Abbey & Swapna in these places after 4th from Portland, I can arrange their flights as return flights on the dates that you need. As per the plan, they will be flying to Chicago – Sanjose-portland all via Salt Lake City. If you want any of them to be a return flight after 4th, I can do it with a little extra if that would be beneficial for me. If they do not have anything, I can book them to
Houston and Dallas, along with Father. It has just come up. Achan is ready either way. Houston is in Malayalam. If you have not anything for them, I will also include them. If you have something in Portland after 4th, for them, I will book father alone from there to Houston. It seems that there are a few nuns who may sing Malayalam songs up there if Abey and Swapana are not available. Achan is ok either way.
My intention is only to make it convenient to you all, if that would help you out so that they need not buy additional seperate tickets to these places – only if that would be useful for them. Let me know by tomorrow. It won’t cost me much as difference.

What CDs are we talking about? We are not selling any CDs at these retreat locations unless it is instructed by Divine Achans. But if the Cds are for retreat purpose, I will arrange to ship it to any place. I have no problem in doing it.
What I meant is this. If you want to hold any concerts at these locations after the retreats, I will get a return flight for them for each location. That way, even after the priest goes, they can fly back to these places and hold their concerts and sell their CDs or whatever.
The Making of Coming Soon (0) Thursday, January 19, 2006, 01:33 PM – John Kodiyil
I did not start out with the intention of recording an album, but a series of events led to the album being what it is now.
It started around July of 2000, on the way back to Cochin from Mangalore after a retreat, the Joshua Generation stopped by at Trichur for another retreat. It was there at Jerry’s house that I started reading the book “Husbands and Fathers” by Derek Prince. I had lost my earthly father 15 years ago and this book came a long way towards making me understand the heart of Abba father and towards making me understand the God ordained role of a father. It had also set me free in several areas.
A couple of months later back in Cochin, I was talking to Santosh, my neighbor, who is also a dear friend, when the Lord told me to buy him this book. The shop from which Jerry had bought his copy was only a five minute drive from my house.
It was a new shop and so I was browsing around after picking out the book when my eyes fell upon Abey and Swapna’s CD; Anoint Me. I normally do not listen to that type of music & I moved on. However, I felt an urge to buy that CD and somehow I kept coming back to it. I bought the album with the intention of encouraging their ministry and sowing into it.
A week went by before I decided to check out the website URL given at the back of the CD. While going through the site, once again the Lord told me to encourage them. So I wrote a few words to Abey and Swapna, and in a couple of days, I got a reply from the producer of the album. After going through Timbrels’ web site, he asked me to do a review for the album. He also told me that if I were to make an album, he’d sell it for me in the US. It was on this offer that I finally asked my pastor Rajesh permission to make an album.
Though I had a written couple of songs after being born again, I never though of myself as a musician, and certainly had no immediate plans to record and release an album.
So when my pastor agreed, I was faced with the fact that I had only two songs for the album I just got permission to record. I thought my situation was rather strange, but left it to the Lord to do the rest.
And that He did. One by one the songs came to me, and I felt that the Lord did not want me to compromise on the style or format. The nature or styles of the songs are what they are because it was how they were given to me. I used no one else because I did not feel the need to.
This is how the album came to be. I did not feel the freedom in my spirit to give it for a US release, and so I released it through Timbrels in India.
Now the Lord has blessed me with a great band, and we will be releasing many albums in the future.

To: Uncle
Date: Dec 3, 2005 8:00 PM
Uncle,
For the last time I am telling you, you can take it from me that all your deductions are right (and I am telling you this, not because it is true, but because that’s what you want to believe and that’s what you believe).
I did send the complaint to the Head of Kerala Police, to the Indian High Commission in the US, to the FBI, to the police in the place where he stays. Based on my complaint, he was questioned. Well, based on his complaint, Abey’s parents were also questioned by the local police. There has to be a way of addressing situations across continents. Nobody thought I was sick or silly. They followed up the matter, but nothing could be done about it as I am not a citizen of the US as you rightly put it. You have not seen the mails that I have received from him, the messages (even on answering machines) and mails he has spread about us all over the world, especially to our different organisers that we are scam and porn artistes, the derogatory remarks he has made about the priests in Divine, even getting an arrest warrant against Fr.Augustine Vallooran. The facts and figures he has so methodically put down are not all true. I have a responsibilty to tell you this. You can still hold on to your beliefs if you please. I have no need to prove anything to you, and don’t intend to waste any of your or my time on this.
I know it is common thing in North America to sue on the drop of a hat, and am actually quite amused that you want to sue me now. In just one week, how can you talk to me as you do? It is really a blessing in disguise that the visa did not come through. People who are not like minded must never work together. You are a legalist with an eye for detail (which is exceptional), but you miss the intent of a person’s actions and misinterpret them.
The information you deemed worse than pornographic was not put on that site by me. And for your information, I do not encourage pornography. I will comment no further on this.
But I do not appreciate what you said about my father. Am wondering where you heard my testimony. True, I had a lonely childhood, in boarding. That was the best thing my parents thought they did for me at that time. As a child, as an adolescent, I could never understand it. But I did, when I had my own kids (and that’s not because I finally put my kids also in boarding). Parents do a lot of things for their children which they think are for their good, but the children may not understand it. My father got me married to the person I chose, because I asked him for that, it was not his choice. About , my father has better work than to form opinions about people like that. Whatever transpires in a parent-child relationship, ask a child what they think of their parent, and that should speak for itself. I am sure that your children also would speak very highly of you.
Just remembered, although I did not give you Abey’s email address, you have his phone number. Anyone has access to that information because it is printed on all of the previous albums’ labels. You may want to call him and perhaps find out that I am the bad and manipulative person who was the reason for the breakdown of our marriage… I realised that I do have ‘s email address from a mail that he had sent me some months ago. But you can get access to him through his site. I do not want to be the one to give you his email address either.
Wasn’t I the one who first mentioned to you that there was an issue with a guy in the States? This I told you ONLY BECAUSE you said that you were considering organising my programmes in Canada. I don’t tell people about this on my own accord. The reason I told you was because I felt you should be aware of it, being the main organiser of outreaches on the same continent. If I kept quiet about it and you later on found out, I don’t think you would have appreciated it. How I wish you had retaliated to me like this even then, we would not have proceeded any further, and spared you and me all this… At that time, I was bewildered enough when you told me you were angry. You did not say anything further when I told you that I would explain everthing with the documents that were in my possession, when we would meet during your visit to Ooty. Even after that, I was quite perplexed when you mailed me on the email id of my organiser in Africa. I remember asking you if I was missing something.
I do not know what more to say to you. I cannot stop you from filing a suit against me or whatever. Let me just tell you one last thing, even till the last mail, I was hoping that you would seek to resolve the matter, considering your age and your maturity.
I did not want things to reach this state between you (someone I was directing to attend a retreat with and for your son’s problem and who later turned out to be a wellwisher’ and prospective organiser) and me (someone who has been through a rough bit on the domestic front and was setting out again trying to get back to mission – the joy of life). But I give up at this point. What I feel is a sense of loss, having lost a good wellwisher who has turned to be quite the opposite, and has misunderstood me far too much, only God can convince you, I wont try any further.
My regards to your family. Continued prayers assured. Whether you take it or leave it, there is One who accepts it. Thank God at least He understands me. Incidents like this are lessons for me (it makes me stronger and trust all the more in only God’s promises), and I had better hold on to my previous resolution of not working any more with North American Malayalees. No hard feelings, but perhaps the worst and only stabs in ministry have been from that source. I really wished that I could do it this time (I wanted to believe that there were atleast a few who would be able to perceive better than what appeared to be true), but I don’t want to try anymore.
I do not intend to communicate with you anymore. Kindly Uncle, WITHOUT ANYMORE OF YOUR INSIGHTS, let me know what you have spent on my behalf, I hope to meet you in Divine and settle that. You need to check out more if Swapna leaves any debt outstanding… Your understanding of me has been so incorrect actually. That doesn’t matter anymore. The number you can contact me on when you reach Kerala is 98475 14442. It is the number of a colleague at Divine, by the name of Sangeeta. She will take the information for me. You and I have not spoken to each other so far, anyways. At Divine, perhaps you can even ask Glen and Teresa about my so called hostility towards them. I understand that a team of some sort had been formed for the outreaches in Vancouver. As you think best fit, you can tell them that you realised unfortunately quite late that I am this ‘bad and manipul-ative person’ and I will also mail the team an apology letter. I never wanted it to be this way, but it needs to be stopped at least now. And I will not mail you anymore either.That’s all. God bless.Regards,
Swapna

Dear Uncle,
Very briefly, befriended Abey and asked us to do an album for him called “Anoint Me”. He compiled lyrics from the Psalms, I gave the music and we did it. We did not charge anything for our own fees and did it out of friendship. But he paid the rest of the artiste and production cost. All done on friendship basis, there was no contract. In fact it was all between Abey and him, just that I did all the work. But when things got sour, Abey got me to file the complaint!!! He and his dad would never get his name on any record to safeguard himself.
We were publicising the album in all the countries that we went, travelling at our own cost. He used to tell us that since the album was being sold in Divine because we were singing there, we could keep the proceeds of the same. Also in the other countries where we went on mission. To the extent that we considered the album as our own. He organised the ‘Anoint Me’ tour of the US, we spent to travel, and he was realising the sales proceeds of the album during that tour, even the sales on his website which he asked us to make as our official website. As we were not hi tech and did not have the time then, we told everyone to write to us on that site and he was the person getting back to people on behalf of us. During the US tour, we also did a few programmes with Fr.Vallooran for Divine.
After the tour was over, he came with a big statement of acount. We had already paid him for the expenses on our part before we left, received no receipt for the same, as it was done in good faith. Then he started playing up telling people we did not pay him for his expenses. It got real bad. All his overheads, he passed on to us. Even his site administerial costs. He has a website ministry of his own. I will sms you the name of his site if you give me your mobile number. I don’t want him to access this mail by any chance.
Anyway, to get rid of his torment, we agreed to pay something more, that only made the trouble worse and he went about maligning our name already. It went into a battle of words, hate mails from his side and I had to lodge a complaint about him to the police in … where he lives and works, even to the FBI. I was advised to institute a civil case. Who has the time or even the money for that? We even till today bear the attacks from this Christian brother.
Am going Uncle. Today is my last day here and I have loads of chores to finish.
Just for your info, I do not have a Canadian visa, but I do have a US visa valid till 2012. Ha ha. God bless you all. Warm regards, Swapna

Dear Mr. :
I personally refute all the false accusations and defamatory remarks you mentioned in your email of 22 February, 2005 sent to the Catholic Spirituality Centre against the directors and volunteers of the Divine Retreat Centre as follows:
a) The story you created alleging that I approved and supported a plan to raise a sum of $25,000 for Abey & Swapna’s child is totally untrue and unfounded.
b) The Divine Retreat Centre has never demanded money from the public or individuals to support its work in any of their outreach programmes as you claim, including that in Chicago in 2002. The organizers of such programmes are willing to testify to this effect.
c) Mr Reuben Gerard Mathew has never been a web master of Divine and has never done a website for Divine, although he volunteered to provide such a service in the past. Divine Retreat Centre is not responsible for any of his personal dealing with you.
d) Mr Glen La Rive has never been an administrator or an advisor to the Board at Divine Retreat Centre. He is one of the volunteer musicians serving in the Centre.
e) You alleged that Divine Retreat Centre is a “playground for crimes and scams”. On the contrary, the Centre is very much involved with the work of evanglization and conversion of sinners back to God. We can show you countless written testimonies to this effect.
After my conversation with Abey & Swapna regarding your allegations against them, I was informed by them that all your allegations were false and it was actually you who was owing them money. They alleged that you are circulating these dafamatory emails to cover your debt to them as Abey & Swapna have an FBI report supporting their claim against you.
Based on your accusations, I would like you to furnish supporting evidence of your allegations, failing which and should you continue to with your reckless line of action, Divine Retreat Centre may be forced to take up legal action against you for your false allegations and defamatory remarks.
For your information I wish to point out to you and all concerned regarding the functioning of the Divine Retreat Centre and its spiritual missions:
Divine Retreat Centre is formed by the Vincentian Congregation under the direct supervision of the Bishops, and all retreats, conventions and/or outreach ministries are organized with proper interaction carried out only on official invitations received by the Bishops or parish priests of any state, province, country or nation. There is complete transparency in all financial dealings and all accounts are administered and audited by the Vincentian Order. All administration and dealings are handled only by the Board members under the direct supervision of the directors and Bishops.
We wish to bring to your notice that from time to time various individuals offer their voluntary services and at present Divine Retreat Centre has more than 2500 volunteers, some residing and some frequently or infrequently visiting to serve. From time to time, such individuals may venture out to minister on their own and in such cases do not represent Divine Retreat Centre unless instructed or sent by the Directors through proper channels.
Divine Retreat Centre will be held responsible for the action of any individuals only if they are sent by Divine through the proper channels. If you wish to avoid such problems in future please take the proper steps to go through the right channels.
In your case, when you had personally taken interest to support Abey and Swapna with your services, you had not gone through the right channels of consulting or informing the directors. It was your own desire to support them personally.
It is unchristian to pass judgment based on individual information you received through your own contacts.
If you need any further clarification regarding our functioning, please do visit us and see for yourself.
We understand you are hurt by your personal dealings with Abey and Swapna. We are concerned and are praying for you to solve it with them personally at the earliest.
Thanking you in Jesus,

Dear Uncle,
Fine, that would be fine. Yes, you can tell people that I am a single minister of the Word of God.
If they ask about my marital status, you can just mention that I have been put in a position such as this. That would be true and fair.
I am the proprietrix of Admiral Musics, a new firm that I started to bring our gospel albums and music propagating the importance of human life.
Yep, last year he once got one of his… to hack this email account to find out what I was telling people… I got the password changed and there has been no problem since then. Moreover, that person has left him now. No worries.
I am going to apply for my German visa today. Just hope and pray that all goes well.
There is a Philippino group in Chicago that has asked me to go on mission to Chicago in February. Which part of the US are you staying in? Do you think it would be worth the while if I came there also and had a prayer meeting or small musical concert for the youth or something? I may also go to New York.
Uncle, there is a person in the States, whose name is /

, for whom we did an album and promoted it worldover. This person organised a series of programmes for us in the States in 2002, and he asked us for the money he spent on organising the same. We paid him, but after that, he asked for more and it became a very unpleasant situation. He started telling people we were swindlers, porn artistes… he started sending me hate mails, porn mails and it became unbearable. The worst part is that he still holds a good face in the Christian community there and in India. Just thought I would also let you know this in case you get to hear about it. He tried to get the Fathers at Divine also involved in it and it became such a sad story.
I spoke to Fr.Vallooran yesterday and told him all the updates about what has been happening in my life. He just feels so sad that I have to struggle so much.
That’s all for now uncle. Let me get going. Bye and God bless. How is Sunil now? Warm regards,

Tuesday, February 28, 2006, 10:34 AM – Statements
My family lives in Kerala, India. We raised my son with good education, and he became successful because of his hard work, and God’s help. We are now worried about our lives as well as our son’s family abroad because of an ongoing blackmailing and murder threats from a team of people from Kerala.
While my son was growing up, in 1992, he came across a couple named Abey & Swapna from Divine Retreat Centre. Without our knowledge, this couple claiming to be evangelists, borrowed money from my son between 1992 and 2002, agreed to reimburse us, but they did not return the money in full.
Time passed, and we forgot about their return of the money. In 2001 December, this couple Abey & Swapna, and their parents called us for help to take their daughter to America for an eye surgery. Reluctantly, my son agreed to help them after hearing from them that their daughter is losing her sight. The couple visited America, stayed with my son and my daughter in law, borrowed money from my son upto 5 lakhs, in that amount paid back 50% only, and secretly stole my son’s personal information when he was away from home.
As soon as this couple got back to India in April 2002, they paid money to a notorious cyber hacker Ruben Gerad Mathew in Trivandrum who was the webmaster of Divine Retreat Centre at that time, to hack my son’s Internet account and to get the bank information to scam them. He demanded my son to surrender his popular business website to Divine Retreat Centre, with an intention to promote Abey & Swapna in America. He threatened my son that the directors of Divine Retreat Centre would bring him back to India through the power they have worldwide.
We reported the blackmailing to the DGP Horsmis Tharakan of Kerala in 2002 May, but they could not find and interrogate Ruben Gerad Mathew until January 2003 because of the lack of information they had of Ruben Gerad Mathew. When my son did not meet his demands for money, he started publishing defamatory remarks on websites hosted by Eleazar Networks, a web hosting company based in Cochin and run under the guidance of Pastor Rajesh Mathew, Joshua Generation Ministries who is a close friend of Abey & Swapna. On August 5, 2002 we personally visited Kiran Thomman, the CEO of Eleazar Networks, to ask him to remove the contents of the defamatory statements from the website. Eleazar Networks nor Kiran Thomman did not take any action. The people visited the website called us ‘Fraud’ after reading the statements from the website. In addition, Ruben Gerad Mathew opened a free geocities website and anonymously published pornographic contents about our son and daughter-in-law.
In 2003, this couple befriended John Kodiyil who contacted my son for financial help describing his inability to have a job other than making music, later told my son to produce a music album. He borrowed lakhs of rupees from my son as studio charge and to pay the musicians, this time with our knowledge. After a while he started blackmailing, to give him more money, otherwise he will not complete the project. Little we know that Abey & Swapna and Pastor Rajesh Mathew were the people behind the blackmailing, at the end they forced John Kodiyil to stop the project. Though we experienced financial loss, we allowed not further pursuing this matter with the court because of the mediation of his mother and considering his wife’s apology.
Now, a person with name Manu Mathew claiming to be John Kodiyil’s band member is blackmailing us for 8 Lakhs rupees. He called our Kerala home, and threatened us continually – all these without providing his address. We lodged a police complaint at Chenganoor Police Station on December 28, 2005 against Manu Mathew after we noticed that he and his team want to attack us physically. The police could not catch him because he did not provide his address – we had only his telephone number. Through a representative he informed the DSP on January 1, 2006 that he would not call us or send us any email to harass us or threaten us, after he was asked to surrender. He did not surrender, and evaded the police.
After 2 weeks, on January 22, Manu Mathew started sending anonymous emails by using the name Roy, a pattern Ruben Gerad Mathew started in 2002. Today on January 26, he sent the same email again.
Emotionally tired by the continuous blackmailing by this team of people from Cochin, we have filed a criminal case at the same police station today (1-26-2006), and have asked the Kerala Police to investigate and bring the culprits to justice.
This website will detail the progress of this case.

Haven’t received any email from Manu Mathew today.
Manu Mathew is no more attending his phone – he knows, the police is after him.
1. Why do you have to do this?
It is unchristian to pass judgment based on individual information you received through your own contacts. – Fr.Augustine Vallooran
Can anyone trust the information received from Fr.Augustine Vallooran, and make judgement to become a Christian? We doubt. We don’t want Fr.Augustine Vallooran to be unchristian as well.
2. What’s the spiritual motivation behind this website?
“Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead.” Deuteronomy 18:10-11
3. Why don’t you guys just talk, resolve this problem in closed doors instead of accusing the directors of Divine Retreat Centre on a public website?
You might have already read in MV Thomas (Divine Retreat Centre representative in the US) email. We informed Fr.Mathew Naikomparambil, Fr.George Panackel as well as Fr.Augustine Valloran that we would like to talk, but none of them wanted to talk. Instead of talking to us, this team is spreading the lies to the public. We believe that a discussion is not going to help, so we decided to tell our story, the true story.
4. Why are you talking bad about Divine Retreat Centre?
How can anyone get a good impression about Divine Retreat Centre when their own webmaster threaten and blackmail individuals, and later the directors supporting their actions?
5. Do the emails published on this site have authenticity?
Yes, the emails are authentic. The victim’s names are deleted for further protecting them.
6. Why don’t you allow the police to handle this case?
We reported this problem to the police multiple times, but that has not helped the situation.
7. Is it a conspiracy?
Yes, it is. The controlling figures of this conspiracy Abey & Swapna, duped many innocents, for money, and to retain their monopoly in Christian music, and they are completely supported by Fr.Augustine Valloran.
8. Are you forced to tell your story?
Yes, we are. Don’t you think it is better to tell our experiences, rather than hiding it, so that at least someone else won’t become a victim?
9. Who is running this website?
The victims are running this website.
10. Is it legal?
If it is legal for a Catholic priest & his cronies to make abhorrent remarks about us, publish it on their website, and other free websites, how is it illegal when we say we are not as they portrait. We believe that the truth need to be told, and not a single person should be manipulated by Fr.Augustine Vallooran and his cronies.
11. Are you bashing the Catholics?
Not at all. We are not against Catholics. Many Catholics have disagreements on what Divine Retreat Centre practicing. So, the Divine Retreat Centre, its directors nor its other worship leaders represent the whole Catholic Community. We would like to tell you they repressed us because we are not Catholics.
12. The site says “daily blog” but I don’t see much?
You will see our responses to the allegations in BLUE color. They are blogs. We know you are anxious to read how we are defending the allegations, but be patient, and visit the site regularly – You will read more blog in the days to come.
Notorious Computer Internet hacker Ruben Gerad Mathew (0)
Sunday, January 29, 2006, 09:43 AM – Ruben Gerad Mathew, Avenger Inc.
This 21 year old guy named Ruben Gerad Mathew from Trivandrum is a notorious computer hacker. He hacked our internet account regularly. He hacked our Internet account on May 20, 2002, and he updated our account details – he replaced our names with his alias name AVENGER. In 2005 May, he hacked the account again, and replaced with the original details. In August 2005, he lost his job from the US Technology resources after they found out his irrational, criminal activities within their premise itself. He was the webmaster of Divine Retreat Centre, Abey & Swapna website from 2001 July to 2005.
Yep, last year he once got one of his… to hack this email account to find out what I was telling people… I got the password changed and there has been no problem since then. Moreover, that person has left him now. No worries. – Swapna Abrahama, 10/16/2005
We assume the person who hacked Swapna Abraham’s email account was also Ruben Gerad Mathew, though she did not reveal his name – probably afraid of the evil acts of the Avenger and her husband Abey.

Dear ,
I am now the webmaster at Divine. I have also been entrusted with all other Divine websites. We have moved all our websites to a centeral location, a server that has replication in US and India, so all our sites are accessed fast. I would like you to also add jesusandyou.com over to our servers. We are ready to pay for your expenses so far. Divine has decided that all sites be handeled by a single person and a single Divine recommended hosting provider. As you know that Aby and Swapna has sold cassets worldwide with this intenet address, they need this site, as this is all their hardwork. It has taken them years to get their message across the world, and now only if they have a way to put messages daily can they use it to its full extent. It is a charsmatic site, and they wish to keep it that way. Abey and Swapna trust me with this site, and so I ask you to please hand over the FTP login details, and I will send you payment that is required for this site.
Looking forward to an amicable settlement,
In Jesus,
Ruben.
Dear Mr. Preetha, and Mr. ,
I have brought all tensions here on a stand still. And I have been informed that we will settle this matter without dispute. I would like to know how you would like me to proceed. Please write to me immediately and tell me what to do. I will send you the money required right away on recipt of your mail. Abey’s father too has been contacted and they too would like to discuss with you on what can be an amicable settlement. Please write a letter to Abey or I will contact them for you. In any case I need to know how to proceed on this matter.
Love in Jesus, Ruben.

Dear Mrs. Preetha,
I am grateful to receive a friendly reply. I do understand your situation. I am not siding with anyone but just trying to resolve the matter. I do understand that your husband was helping Abey very much, until recently for some unknown cause. But from what I saw, your husband was making money out of this website and using it for publishing his book.
You see, the frustration of Abey and Swapna is that they have gone around the world preaching the gospel, and conducting retreats, and everyone who has seen them will try to contact them. Now the only point of contact he mentioned is the website address, which your husband registered for him. This website address is important because every cassettes, CD’s and videos sold have this printed on them. It is true that if I had not intervened they would have used their influence to get him back to India to resolve the matter, and I said not to do that, but I will try to talk to him. You can loose your visa because it is a H1 Visa if he is called back by the embassy. Abey can very well use Divine’s hold on the Embassy to get you all back here which evidently can result in loss of your husbands job.
I know that there must be problems from both sides, and I will definitely keep you all in my prayers. It is not only a bad name for you, and your family but also the more this matter gets bigger the worse it will become because you are against a well know couple, who have spent their whole lives in Charismatic renewal. So defiantly people who hear this matter will only support them. I try to work for Jesus with all of my heart and I work freely for any group who pray to Jesus. I go to a Pentecostal Jesus Youth gathering on Sat and Christian Youth group on Sunday. I live my life in prayers, and found that it is not what we try to show the world that matters, but what we really try to be and how God thinks of us.
To make matters take a turn, the best you can do right now is send me the FTP details of this website, and I will send you all expenses occurred on this website in full till date. Please let your husband know that I will resolve any problems here to the fullest extent that it will not be spoken of again. I will also make sure that you will not receive any more calls or any more action from Divine, or Abey or anyone else. I will settle this matter once and for all
Love in Jesus,
Ruben Gerad.

On February 1, our parents visited the Police Station (at least 7 miles) to find whether or not John Kodiyil reported to the police.

Mr Glen La Rive has never been an administrator or an advisor to the Board at Divine Retreat Centre. He is one of the volunteer musicians serving in the Centre. – Fr.Augustine Valloran
The word Volunteer has a broader meaning, but I can be correct in explaining this. Fr.Augustine Valloran says Mr.Glen La Rive is a volunteering musician – but what I don’t understand is why Mr.Glen has to send the following letter if he is doing the work of a musician, and not an administrator:
Dear ,
I read all the e-mails you sent. I was very sad to read the contents. Whatever is happening has nothing to do with Divine. This is a personal matter between Ruben, Abey Swapna and you. Ruben is not a part of the Divine staff and is not at the divine but in his house in Trivandrum. Fr. Augustine had enquired with me after you spoke to him about this situvation. Abey and Swapna are on their own on most of their ventures abroad and so Divine Retreat centre is in the dark about this problem or regarding the money they collected etc.
We from here can only pray for all of you to solve this together instead of getting at each other since we are all god’s children. “Blessed are the peace makers for they will be called the children of God “(Mat. 5/9). I think all of you should forgive each other and get along with your ministries. I don’t think Fr. Mathew will interfere in this matter, but I am sure that he will pray for this to be solved.
Praying for you and the others.
Glen
I don’t care whether or not Mr.Glen is an administrator, but he is functioning as an administator. Mr.Glen has been with Divine Retreat Center from atleast 2000. Who is paying his travel expense, paying for his food and his medical expenses? If Fr.Augustine is paying a salary to Mr.Glen, he can’t be considered as a volunteer. The story according to Fr.Augustine – why he is a volunteer has a spin to it. The director Fr.Augustine Valloran has well trained his staff to answer the challenging inquiries. But in situations when his cronies were challenged, he will try to protect himself not his cronies. Can you see how Mr.Glen is protecting Fr.Augustine, but Fr.Augustine trying to wash off his hands when it comes to protecting Mr.Glen. In simple words, Fr.Augustine saying whatever Mr.Glen doing at Divine Retreat Cetner is on his own will, and not by the advises of the directors. Do you get it? This is something you should know. The emails that you send to Fr.Augustine or any other director for prayers, reach in the hands of people who are unknown to you – I don’t think your emails are ever read by the priests. Though the return reply will have the signature of Fr.Augustine, the email should be suspected that Fr.Augustine did not send it. These individuals who administer the communication in Fr.Augustine’s office, replying on the behalf of the priests, gets your email id, and other personal details. They may use those details to scam you later, so please be aware.

Dear Br. ,
You seems to be overly concerned about the whole issue. Again I tell you, if you believe God is on your side and truth remains in you, God will definitely defend you.
Psalm 139 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Examine yourself and ensure that you are right with God. How can God let His people be devoured by the enemy? His protection and defence is greater and mightier than that the people of the world can offer. Trust in Jesus. He is faithful and will fulfil all his promises to those who believe in Him.
Isaiah 41 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
This may sound like a lot of preaching, but all what I am suggesting is that you hold on to the Lord and all his promises because you already mentioned that you feel that it is a demonic attack.
And the Word of God is the sword when you fight against the enemy the devil. I have experienced the power in the word of God and depend on Him and His words and God has never failed me.
John 14 1″Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me.
Look at the present situation as an opportunity to get closer to God and see His ways in your life.
Jeremiah 29 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back from captivity. [a] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”
Whether a person claims to be a servant of God or not, try to understand that all are human and are prone to weakness and sin. But as true Christian you should forgive unconditionally and pray for the person and when you do that God will defend you in miraculous ways.
Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Submit your mind body and spirit to Jesus and the power and strength to overcome all challenges will be given to you. The Holy Spirit will come up on you and you will receive power from above.
Our intercessory group has already begun praying for you and your family. You shall see the power of God. God bless you and your family. In Jesus’ love

Medical doctor to evaluate the condition (0)
Monday, February 6, 2006, 05:52 AM – Divine News
Dear Br. ,
Please send an email to: gethsemaneministries@yahoo.ca with the persons name, and the intercessory prayer group will pray for him.
May be it is premature to make assumption that the person is possessed by demons. I would suggest that you seek help from your pastor and or a medical doctor to evaluate the condition.
Jesus our divine physician who alone can heal the body mind and spirit will take care of the person. Trust in Jesus and He will show you the way.
The Lord will definitely answer our prayers and take care of the situation. So you and members of the family should fervently pray with love for the person you mentioned. If he/she has caused you any harm forgive him/her unconditionally.
May the precious blood of Jesus Christ protect you and your family, may the Holy Spirit give you strength, wisdom and guidance.
Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us?
Psalm 91 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence. 4 He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
God bless you and your family. Yours in Christ Jesus

The following content appeared at www.abeyandswapna.com on August 5, 2002. Kiran Thomman of Eleazar Networks provided the space for the site www.abeyandswapna.com. Our 60 years old parents spent money from their pocket, travelled 50 miles, went all the way to meet Kiran to ask Kiran to remove the content. He talked to his pastor Rajesh Mathew of Joshua Generation, and did not removed the content. We asked Kiran Thomman about the person who published this profanity and asked for his address. He was elusive, and blamed it on the web master, later we found out that he worked with Ruben Gerad Mathew to publish this.
Kiran Thomman when he heard CBI is going to be in his door step, he shut down the website. After he learned, he will burn his fingers, he asked Mr.John Kodiyil to contact us. With a Christian spirit we forgave him, but now we regret that we allowed them to go. After a month, different content came up. Probably he might have thought AAS will back him up.
You may be wondering whether we will respond to their defamatory statements. Check this site everyday, you will read it.

The worst fear of a father and mother (0)
Friday, February 10, 2006, 05:31 AM – Cover Up
The worst fear of any father or mother is how is their children doing when their children are away, and they suspect some harm is on the way. Our parents had that worst fear today. They were literally crying today, to see what will happen if we are attacked. Their focus was Manu Mathew who is hiding – no email or threats in the last few days that reached us. The Police could not catch him until now.
This is what we had to say our parents. If we had set aside the ‘forgiving’ spirit way back in 2002, and took these money hungry gang to court, and had sent them to some prison, we should not be facing these torture. Now we have to face this torture until these senseless gang get out of our lives.
Please pray for our parents.

Dear Uncle Pappi,
******* is not an artiste of any sort. He pays people and gets them to do work for him. In our case, I am sure that he has not paid us anything for our work. It is unlikely that Abey got paid without me knowing about it. I know for sure, by the grace of God, that I have no competition where I stand. It is just my present position that has placed me at a disadvantage. The guy had made good money through his IT job and through his website. I don’t know what else. He has made much selling our albums as well, on the net. Let’s leave this with that.
I just wanted you to know about the ******* issue. Let us not discuss this any more. It is not going to be of any good use. I definitely do not lose any sleep on account of this. Don’t know about the others. There is far too much happening in my life for me to even think for a second moment about this.
Very well, do let me know when you will be coming to Ooty.
The mission in Africa is awesome… simply wonderful. It is centred on the Eucharist.
That’s all for now. Let us keep praying for each other. Bye and God bless. Warm regards,
Swapna
Is this, Fr.Augustine Valloran’s stunt? (0)
Monday, February 13, 2006, 05:13 AM – Fr.Augustine Vallooran
Based on your accusations, I would like you to furnish supporting evidence of your allegations, failing which and should you continue to with your reckless line of action, Divine Retreat Centre may be forced to take up legal action against you for your false allegations and defamatory remarks. – Fr.Augustine Valloran
Fr.Augustine Valloran made the above statement in February 2005. Was it a stunt? No doubt, it was a stunt. He had to show his Singapore retreat organizers that he was righteous. So he cooked up some heresy, asked the receptionist to send us the letter, and simply vanished from Singapore.
We wrote a 5 page reply to him after we received his statement, but never did we receive a reply back from him. So we called him up in March, 2005 to follow up on that, as well as because we did not receive any lawyer notice from him. Fr.Augustine Valloran only had to say, he is going to take legal action, and he disconnected the line.
We don’t know whether or not he has seen the evidences that we sent, but it is very clear – Fr.Augustine is not only proclaiming the gospel of Jesus, he also scares people with his tactics – probably learned from his counterpart the lawyer Abey Kalisseril. It is pathetic, he needs “legal action” in his preaching to survive.
If he claims, Divine Retreat Centre is a place where “God’ does work, why is he saying Divine Retreat Centre has to take legal action? Are they both contradicting each other? There are few things you should understand. There is no superior to Fr.Augustine Valloran, neither Divine Retreat Centre has any elders to look at Fr.Augustine’s accountability. If there was one, then we should have been contacted by them. Secondly it is ridiculous to see how these individuals use the name of ‘Divine Retreat Centre’ to scare the public. He can incite a fire among the Catholics with the statements that he made against us. You don’t have to doubt his influence also in the “upper hands”. Our family have been tortured by his cronies for 4 years now. We all faced it, we know how evil their plots are, and we survived all his sinister attacks.
So, if you are a Catholic, and have heard stories from Fr.Augustine Valloran about us, simply don’t believe him. We have evidences to show you how he is spreading false allegations and defamatory remarks about us.
Who is controlling Divine Retreat Centre? (0)
Tuesday, February 14, 2006, 05:42 AM – Fr.Augustine Vallooran, Divine News
You see Divine members are not computer literate, atleast the majority of them, so most of this goes over their head, the only thing everyone knows now is that Abey and Swapna had a website, and that now you have decided to market yourself instead of Abey and Swapna who worked so hard to get all the people to contact them through this website. Can you deny that you are not getting mails for abey and swapa even now? Ruben Gerad Mathew, Divine Retreat Centre Webmaster
Who are these Divine members? Ruben Gerad Mathew is talking about Fr.Augustine Valloran, Fr.Mathew Naikomparambil, Fr.George Panackal, probably the Divine Youth also. Why they had to be ‘fed’ by Ruben Gerad Mathew or Abey & Swapna, instead of contacting us to get the facts?
Divine Retreat Centre is controlled by notorious hackers like Ruben Gerad Mathew, and his masters like Abey & Swapna, sadly not by their own ethics and spiritual convictions. Divine members are victims of cooked up stories of voluenteers in whom Fr.Augustine is so proud of.

Another channel for Malayalam entertainment:
Jeevan TV to start from July 14 KOCHI: With Jeevan Telecasting Corporation Ltd (JTCL) deciding to start telecasting from July 14, Kerala has got another Malayalam channel. The public limited company with an initial investment of Rs 25 crore will beam a 24-hour satellite TV channel from its two studios set up at Palarivattam in Kochi for news and for other programmes including discussions, debates, musicals and talkshows. The company chairman, Archbishop of Thrissur Mar Jacob Thoomkuzhi, and managing director P C Cyriac said at a press conference here on Wednesday that the studios would be inaugurated by Revenue Minister K M Mani and filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan at 6 pm on Friday. Former Chief Minister P K Vasudevan Nair will inaugurate ‘Jeevan Clubs’, which are grassroots level societies with television viewers of Jeevan TV as members. Already there are 6000 shareholders and more will be added through private placement of shares. The face value of a share is Rs 1000 and the ordinary investors can become shareholders through Jeevan Clubs by investing as a group. The channel is expected to break even in two years. Jeevan TV will focus on information and education without ignoring entertainment. The channel will show films on Saturdays and Sundays. The new programmes will be objective and the entertainment programmes will not compromise on moral values. “The programmes will be such that they can be watched by the whole family sitting together,” Cyriac said. It will be run as a commercial channel and will not be under the control of the Church. Programmes worth Rs 4 crore are available with the company while more programmes are under production. The channel will be using digital technology. A part of the equipment has been purchased and is in use. Another batch of equipment will be installed and commissioned within six weeks. The channel’s main income will be from advertisements. It has banned ads of liquor. News bureaus will be set up at Kochi, Kozhikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Delhi. Paul Alukka, a director of the channel, was also present. The studios were blessed at a function on Thursday by Major Archbishop Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil. He said at a time when the TV programmes are ruled by violence and excess of sex, a channel like Jeevan TV, which will uphold moral values, has much relevance. JTCL chairman Jacob Mar Thoomkuzhi, working chairman Fr Andrews Thazhath, vice-chairman Fr Augustine Vallooran, Jeevan Club co-ordinator P J Antony, managing director P C Cyriac, Bishop Thomas Chakyath and Rashtra Deepika resident manager Edison G Varghese were present.
… TV was showing the struggle of a 103 year old woman who maintains a family by working at this age in a quarry. A brave story of success, I was thinking. One of the guys remakred “chorunnunna muthoortham nokki ivanmar pattiniyum daridravum kanikkumallo” and changed to Jeevan TV. 5 year old kids in flasing apparel dancing to the tune of lajjavathiye. Right background for our lunch. A Jeevan TV viewer
Hello Friend,
You might have already made a guess about the people who are behind this website.
The owners, their families regret that we had to publish this website. We have been persecuted for years, they stole our money and never allowed us to sleep a day peacefully. If you believe in good, justice, and the truth that need to be told, please stand with us. We want to tell you the ultimate truth, and you will read the truth on this site. We will respond to all the accusations of this team who is persecuting us.
There is a danger when Christianity is hijacked by some puritans who want money from people living outside of India. If Jesus had to make a comment, he would have said:
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. Mathew 23:27
If you know Abey & Swapna, Fr.Augustine Valloran, John Kodiyil, Manu Mathew, and want to “act” on behalf of them against us, we would advise you not to do any “stupid” things. Their aim is to sabotage your life as they have tried to do to us.
Please continue to pray for us. We believe God will bring victory to us.

Money problem looming the Conference Power 2006 (0)
Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 07:13 PM – Divine News
The Divine Retreat Centre has never demanded money from the public or individuals to support its work in any of their outreach programmes as you claim, including that in Chicago in 2002. Fr.Augustine Valloran
Isn’t demanding money from the public equivalent to not paying it’s guests after receiving their services? The money fight looms the International Youth Conference Power 2006 which will be held at Divine Retreat Centre soon. Read the reply from a guest who was supposed to speak at the Conference. Why does anyone invite a person from a different country to speak, and later does not have money to pay for his travel?
I am sorry to say I will not be coming to India this year. I would very much like to but our ministry is not able to come up with the large amount of money it costs for flights. We tried to talk to the Indian Syro Malabar community in Chicago about supporting this mission, but they were not interested. – Name Undisclosed
How can anyone agree to Fr.Augustine’s claim that his organization is not demanding money? The act of demanding money if generates a bad reputation, he is smart at demanding services for FREE!

The guy had made good money through his IT job and through his website. I don’t know what else. Swapna Abraham
As far as we know, we haven’t shown our bank accounts to anyone, so how does she know we made a lot of money? There are few possibilities we can think of, that is she has got the details from Ruben Gerad Mathew who hacked our Internet account, later hacked our bank account. The next possibility is that she stole our personal information when she, her husband and her children stayed in our home.We can’t rule out another possibility – did Jesus tell her that we have a lot of money? Confusing, isn’t it?
The Worship leader Swapna’s real problem is that we have a lot of money. So, would you be surprised if we say she does not have any other motive behind spreading her trash except to blackmail us.
Who’s the next Singing Couple? (0)
Friday, February 24, 2006, 05:11 AM – Divine Abey & Swapna
It was Abey & Swapna who were “the” only Singing Couple according to the Divine Retreat Centre marketing. That has changed in 2006, the prestigious title is now given to Glen & Theresa. Does that mean Abey & Swapna is not a singing couple anymore?
Who will receive the prestigious title of “the” Singing couple next time? We have to wait see. It is all in the hands of “God’ who raises someone up, and brings him down. Whatever may be the hostility, the International marketing team at Divine Retreat Centre is doing a great job.
Fr.George Panackal’s character. (0)
Saturday, February 25, 2006, 07:01 AM – Divine News
Mr.Mathew from Houston says Fr.George Panackal is a saint. After I spoke to Fr.George – way back in 2003, I have to admit that Mr.Mathew’s opinion is wrong. I felt that Fr.Panackal’s character is cheaper than the character of a street rowdy. He screams on phone, never gives a chance to you to talk, and makes irrational arguments.
You may be wondering why I had to talk to Fr.George Panackal. Fr.George Panackel is the director of Divine Retreat Centre. Being the director of Divine Retreat Centre, I wanted him to be aware of the cyber hacking, scams, crimes taking place in his office. I was not concerned about someone else who is a victim, but I was there for my family. Before I spoke to him, I sent all the evidence to him while he was in Florida. He agreed to talk.
When the conversation started, he started screaming over the phone “You solve the problem with Abey & Swapna, not with me”. I asked him politely to listen to what I say before he makes his conclusions. He screamed again “Why didn’t you settle the money issues with Abey & Swapna?” It was hard for me to convince him that I’m not calling to talk about a money dispute – I believed he was aware of the agenda we had. He screamed “There is a lot of people who have disagreements with what we do at Divine.”
He does not want to stop with his foolish arguments – a good tactic to keep your enemy away. After I could not bear his screaming, I told him “Listen Fr.George, please don’t talk like the way you preach on the stage. You have a notion that the people you give preaching are drug addicts, alcoholics, and troubled people. I don’t have that problem. But I came to you, and you agreed to talk, not to fix my problem if you understand it well, but to fix your problem.” He understood the seriousness of the problem only after he came to know the police complaint that my family filed in January 2003 against Divine Retreat Centre webmaster Ruben Gerad Mathew. His screaming subsided. He told me he would investigate into the issues of Divine Retreat Centre’s resources being misused by its webmaster like Ruben Gerad Mathew, and its worship leaders like Abey & Swapna.
In the conversation, these are some important things I learned.
Have you heard of ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell?’ I learned this from Fr.George Panackal of Divine Retreat Center. According to “their” policy this couple Abey & Swapna does not give any kind of reimbursement or accounts to anyone. The reason? Fr.Panackal did not tell the reason but he told me, that is what they practice.
Fr.George told me he did not want Abey & Swapna to go to the US after he heard that they are going to participate in music concerts. He knew that will end up in more problems.
Fr.Panackal is the director of the Malayalam section, so he does not have any control over the English section where Fr.Augustine Valloran is the director.
The couple Abey & Swapna is not a Divine Retreat Center employee, so they can’t take any action against them. He told me Glen and Theresa are employees, so any kind of action can be taken against people like Glen. He brushed it off as a personal problem. This is what Fr.George Panackal told me:
There are criminals coming to Divine Retreat Center. How can we know that they are criminals? It is none of our job to do something with the criminals. We may use the service of anyone irrespective of their background.
He told me a good example. He says he visited his friend Mr.Joe in Florida, and did some mischief acts and left the city, that caused some harm to someone else. So, who would be responsible for the mischief acts? He says Mr.Joe is not responsible. What he was trying to impress everyone is that Divine Retreat Centre is not responsible for anything that happens inside its wall. A good defense, isn’t it?
Court seeks police report on Divine Retreat Centre (0)
Friday, March 3, 2006, 08:24 PM – Divine News
Kochi: The Kerala High Court Friday asked police to submit a complaint following allegations ranging from murders to foreign funding at one of Asia’s largest religious hubs – the Muringur Divine Retreat Centre – near here.
After complaints of harassment by a former woman employee of the centre, the court took up the case suo moto. Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair asked senior police official Vincent Paul to submit a complaint in six weeks.
The court has also asked the police to inquire into three alleged murders that took place at the religious retreat, possible foreign funding and reported involvement of Kerala bureaucrats and police officials with the centre.
The Muringur centre falls under the Ernakulam Archdiocese of the Syro Malabar Church.
Syro Malabar Church spokesperson Father Paul Thelakat said the court orders had to be respected.
“The court order was reportedly given on the basis of an anonymous letter and a CD,” Thelakat said.
The retreat centre, which was set up in the late 80’s, attracts people from all religions across the country.
The centre, which conducts week-long in-house prayer sessions, has appointed several people as preachers. It has also opened branches throughout India.

Abey grew up as a lonely single child of his parents, seeking love, grabbing affection and getting everything that he wanted, at any cost….until he was completely lost in the sinful passions and venoms of this world. He wanted to get out of it all-but was stuck for life. He ran away from home once, and was found; twice, and returned himself-fed up. T’was the love of x that saved him from sin and death: that put a song in his heart and a purpose in his life.
Swapna was the lone achiever, winning every feat she ventured upon – the girl with the magical touch. But beneath all that was grudge, hardheartedness, selfish ambitions and a terrible ingratitude to the Lord she talked so much to, but whom she hardly knew.She made it,yes; but she never felt a sense of accomplishment till she met who gave her a new tune and a new heart.

Sunday, March 12, 2006, 07:06 PM – Abey Kalisseril
Dear Pappi Uncle,
I am Swapna, Abey’s wife. I am a Jacobite, but very attached to the ministry with the Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor, Chalakudy, Kerala. It is a Catholic Retreat Centre.
It would be good if you can go there with Sunil to attend the retreat. It is a week long programme starting every Sunday morning and finishing on Friday afternoon. You have to stay there for the whole week. Sunil will be freed from drugs, for sure. God sees your pain as his father and I am sure that He will set your son free.
When you go there, do meet Fr.Augustine Vallooran, the Director of the retreat centre. You must go to the English section. If Fr.Vallooran is not there, you can meet Fr.Joseph Vaniamthara, the Administrator. Do mail me and let me know as soon as possible about when you will want to go there and I will inform the Fathers and ask them to give you a room. It will be more convenient for you and your son.
Just thought that I would tell you, in case you will hear about it and get surprised. Abey has decided to live by himself and so we are not living together anymore. Never the less, I am continuing singing and preaching, but alone with our two children, as that is the only thing that keeps me happy and going. But it is true that Abey was on drugs for six to seven years and got out of it when he attended the retreat at Divine in 1991. Whatever else he is doing, I know for sure that he is still out of drugs.
Praying for Sunil and for you. God bless you and fill you with hope.
If you should need to contact me, the number is **********. Please keep this number confidential.
Thank you. Warm regards,
Swapna

Court Orders Probe of Largest Catholic Retreat Center (0)
Thursday, April 3, 2003, 04:50 PM – Divine News
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India
Local Church people say they welcome a court probe into allegations against a retreat center in Kerala state.
On March 10, the Kerala High Court asked the state government to set up a special investigation team to probe allegations against the Divine Retreat Centre, considered one of the largest Catholic retreat centers in the world. Thiruvananthapuram (formerly known as Trivandrum), the Kerala capital, is 2,815 kilometers south of New Delhi.
The court acted on an anonymous letter and two compact discs it reportedly received alleging a series of crimes against the center such as murders, rape and foreign exchange violations.
Vincentian priests manage the center in Muringoor, 264 kilometers north of Thiruvananthapuram.
The court took up the case suo motu (on its own initiative) and appointed a senior police official, Vincent M. Paul, to head the probe team. Judge K. Padmanabhan Nair has asked the team to file its report within two weeks. He has also asked the government to provide support to the team.
Father George Panackal, the center’s director, says his people welcomed the court order and police probe. “The investigation can bring facts into light and help prove the allegations are baseless and motivated,” the Vincentian priest told UCA News a day after the court order.
Father Paul Thelakat, spokesperson of the Syro-Malabar Church, says the Church respects the court order. “Let the inquiry be done and truth come to light,” the priest said while speaking with UCA News. The center comes under his Oriental Catholic Church’s Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese.
Father Panackal said there have been several attempts in the past to “defame the institution and its leadership.” He cited the case of Crime, a monthly magazine that carried several reports against the center. “We did not initiate legal action against the magazine because we preach forgiveness and believe that truth can never be suppressed,” the center’s director explained.
Father Panackal claimed that the Divine Retreat Center is the largest retreat center in the world. It has served more than 10 million people from all over the world since 1990. The center conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year.
Explaining the origin of the retreat ministry, Father Panackal said it began in 1977 at Potta, a village six kilometers north of Muringoor. The center shifted to Muringoor in 1990, after the staff found facilities at Potta inadequate for “huge crowds.” The center now has 400 professionally trained counselors to guide people attending the retreats, in addition to about 1,200 volunteers from all over India who coordinate the center’s activities. The center also manages several subsidiary units that serve “thousands of people” in distress, Father Panackal said. “We never close our doors to anyone who seeks our help. We provide them a family environment and care,” he added.
One such unit is St. Vincent Home, which houses 87 adults and 13 children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that usually leads to AIDS. “They experience a new life and inner healing,” the priest explained. Another unit is Shantipuram (city of peace), which houses 450 mentally ill patients. Father Panackal said the retreat center plans to set up an institution by 2007 to cater to 2,000 mentally challenged people.
The retreat center has opened Divine De-addiction Center, which helps 150 substance abusers. Maria Shanthi Bhavan (home of peace), started in November 2004, houses 100 destitute women. Another home, started in 1990, caters to some 150 widows and abandoned wives, and 300 children.
Father Panackal said he mentioned all these activities “not to impress anybody, but to clarify our mission.” He added that he regrets the court did not hear their views before issuing the probe order.
Legal trouble for the center began eight months ago when a woman claiming to be a former employee of the retreat center told a magistrate that a priest official of the center raped and impregnated her. The woman, Mini Varghese, was been in judicial custody in a theft case when she made the complaint.
Father Panackal said a Hindu police official investigated the allegations reported them as baseless. “I told the police official that we are ready for the DNA test. But they told us that their investigations proved the complaint is a pack of lies and there is no need for DNA tests,” the priest said.
Father Panackal added that the center had not employed any Mini Varghese and that it has no priest with the name the woman mentioned. But he recalled one Mini Varghese who attending a retreat program 10 years ago. “Her father brought her and we have no knowledge about her (afterward),” he said. Father Panackal suspects the allegations are part of a conspiracy to defame his center, a view shared by Paul Pallan, a local Christian politician. “I have never attended the retreat at the center. But I feel the court should have given the retreat center an opportunity to hear its views,” Pallan told UCA News. He said thousands of families benefit from the center.
Some Hindu Organisations Urge for Closure of Popular Divine Retreat Centre (0)
Tuesday, April 4, 2006, 08:23 PM – Divine News
Thrissur, Kerala, March 29, 2006 (SAR NEWS):
A Hindu organisation has urged the authorities to take steps to close down the Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) at Muringoor. Hindu Aikya Vedi (Hindu Unity Centre) general secretary, E S Biju, alleged at a press conference here March 27 that antisocial activities were being carried out at the DRC.
He was elaborating on the decisions taken at the two-day state convention of the Vedi, which concluded at the temple town of Guruvayur March 26. Hundreds of delegates representing 69 Hindu organisations participated in the convention. DRC, a venture of the Vincentian congregation was established in 1990 mainly for propagating the Word of God. Retreats are held in seven languages – Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Konkani, Kannada, Hindi and English beginning every Sunday afternoon and concluding the following Saturday morning throughout the year. The aggregate attendance a week on the average is 10,000 and it often swells to 30,000 during the peak season. Besides, DRC conducts prayer services, preaching, discourses and sacraments throughout the year. It also assists devotees in their spiritual rejuvenation and liberation from alcohol and drug addiction. The centre also holds healing services. Barren married women too have borne children after praying at the retreat centre, the sources added.
DRC also runs a de-addiction centre, a 100-bed after-care home for AIDS patients, St. Mary’s Home for Mother and Child Care, a 150-bed general hospital, a tailoring school, Divine Printers and Publishers, Divine Voice monthly magazine, a bible college and Divine Diary Farm. The centre’s activities are being run smoothly with a 400-strong professionally trained counselling team to initiate spiritual awakening in devotees, along with a 1200-member volunteer force. The centre also provides remunerative employment to several hundred persons.
A charter of 22 demands were unanimously cleared at the convention, which included ban on all publications hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus, dissolution of the development corporation for converted Christians, Minority Education Commission and abolition of financial assistance for running Madrassas.
He said the government should do away with the proposed move to include Dalit Christian converts in the list of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes.

Mysterious deaths at Muringur Divine Retreat Centre (0)
Tuesday, April 4, 2006, 05:08 PM – Divine News
Besides moving the High Court, an action council has demanded CBI inquiry into the mysterious death of a youth at the famous Christian retreat centre at Muringur in Thrissur district.
According to the complaint, Thoompackal Babu (37) of Manjapra near Angamaly was found dead at the Muringur Divine Centre in mysterious circumstances on March 17 last year.
Action council convenor T P Venu and chairaman K D Biju claimed that the youth was beaten up badly and was injected with drugs when he tried to cross over the wall and barged into the stage.
He was then put into the cell for the mentally-ill inmates and was tied to the cot. Post mortem report had found blow on the brain as the cause for death, they claimed, citing several other points also.
They also claimed that the police came to Babu’s house eight times to make his wife sign an affidavit saying that she did not have any complaint. According to the Centre authorities, Babu was mentally ill and caused disturbances after gatecrashing into another podium where Tamil retreat was on. Hence, he was put into the cell and it was a natural death.
Meanwhile, there are also reports about several other such incidents of mysterious deaths and sexual abusements in the popular retreat centre, run by the Vincentian priests.
A weekly had in the past reported that several anonymous people had been buried at the public cemetry near to the Divine Centre. The weekly also claimed that sexual abusements were going on in the Centre in the name of piety and counselings.

Kochi, Mar12: There has been demand from various quarters following the High Court order directing the functioning of the Muringoor Divine Centre should be probed by a Special Investigating Team headed by an officer of the rank of IG, that the Public Education Secretary Ms. Lidda Jacob be suspended before the inquiry.
According to a report several public servants such as Inspectors General of Police and the wife of a State Minister are closely associated with the functioning of the Divine Centre. They were allegedly members of the Advisory Body of the centre until recently.
Mr T P Nandakumar, Editor, Crime Weekly alleged that a group of senior IAS, IPS and other government officials are working behind this ‘underworld’ operations. They are likely to sabotage the inquiry. Ms. Lidda Jacob should be suspended as she might sabotage the inquiry, he alleged.
This centre receives huge funds from the Social Welfare Department. An estimated 9000 people are on the voters list of the centre.
It is also alleged that since the Christian Church lobby in the state is so strong with money, muscle and political power, it could even torpedo the inquiry.

Probe sought into youth’s death (0)

KOCHI, APRIL 3. The widow of a youth who was found dead at the Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor has filed a complaint to the Chief Minister, A.K. Antony, seeking inquiry into her husband’s death.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Annie Babu, widow of late Babu, son of Chandy of Thoombalan House, of Manjappra village, complained that her husband had gone to the centre at Muringoor to participate in a six-day retreat on March 14. But, the family was informed of his death on March 17 by the vehicle-in-charge of the retreat centre.
The Manjappra panchayat member, T.P. Venu, who was also present at the press conference, said that the post-mortem report had recorded head injuries as the reason for death while the doctor at the retreat centre had cited cardiac failure.
Complaints have also been forwarded to the Leader of the Opposition, V.S. Achuthanandan, P.J. Joy, MLA, the chairman of the State Human Rights Commission, the Thrissur District Collector and other officials concerned. – From the Hindu news
Please don’t get confused by the mammoth information on this site. The following tips will help you to make your access to this site simplified.
In a crime, there are two parties. One party is a victim or victims. The other party is perpetrator – someone who commits the crime. On YouMeAndJesus.com, you will see both the parties. However the victims’ names are undisclosed to protect their privacy.
When a crime takes place, the investigator gathers the information to prosecute the perpetrators. The perpetrators will try not to leave any trace of evidence, however intelligent crime detectives can crack any case. In our case, nobody was murdered, but the perpetrators aim was to do that, and their folly was exposed when they assumed nobody was watching them, and the emails they themselves wrote landed in our hands.
This is a high-tech extortion and murder attempt. What you see on this site are e-mails the perpetrators have written to others to make their plan succeed. You will see emails Fr.Augustine Vallooran, Abey Kalisseril, Swapna Abraham, Manu Mathew, Ruben Gerad Mathew had sent to different people. Also, you will see the pornographic and defamatory statements these perpetrators published on websites to extort money from us.
We have tried to explain the perpetrators emails, and to rationally expose their extortion tactics. You will see our comments in BLUE.
Not all the people mentioned on this site are perpetrators, but there are individuals who supported these perpetrators – you will see their emails also on this site. This is more as supporting evidence.
We’ve provided, some of the information that you see on this site, to the Police which will help the law enforcement in India to stop cyber crimes against Non-Resident Indians.
You should not use the information from this website to physically harm, threaten, or use against anyone. If you are a victim to a similar crime, you have to work with law enforcement agencies and your lawyers if you would like to bring the perpetrators to justice. We believe that the Judicial System of India is good at bringing the culprits to justice. But these perpetrators use the loopholes and also their mental state (what can you expect after years of drug addiction) force them to intimidate the victims. Our advice to you is that, please protect yourself and your family from being victims to cyber crimes. There are cyber snipers like Ruben Gerad Mathew – the webmaster of Divine Retreat Centre – and Abey & Swapana are on the loose.

Hello, BENNY PUNNATHARA (Chief Editor, Shalom Voice)
I had a chance to read your editorial from the March edition of Shalom Voice magazine. You touched an interesting subject, and your calling for prayers for Divine Retreat Centre is very encouraging.
I think there are two kinds of people who are praying for Divine Retreat Centre. One, as you requested in your editorial – to pray to protect the reputation of the organization – the other kind of people are praying hard to expose the darkness in that organization so that the innocents will not be deceived anymore. You may disagree, but many are still praying to open the eyes of the leaders of that organization, for God to reveal the truth for not to lead the people astray.
At least you agree that there are “drawbacks” – however it is alarming to note that you are also trying to accuse the visitors and volunteers. Abuse, deaths, scams, cyber hacks, slanders, lies, scare tactics – are they simple “drawbacks” or in plain terms “crimes”? Don’t you think the leaders of that Organization have some participation into the allegations?
The whole world knows that Divine Retreat Centre is feeding the poor, taking care of the homeless. Good things, but it is all impossible if hard working people don’t send in money to make it happen. I don’t think the leaders of Divine Retreat Centre is pulling money from their bank accounts to feed the poor. So, don’t forget the fact that the kingdom of Divine Retreat Centre is built on public’s money.
Do you think Jesus will go after the good things you are talking about Divine Retreat Centre, or will Jesus go after the one lost sheep? Your concern is, the reputation of Divine is at stake, but what about the pain the family is experiencing whose members died in Divine’s premises. Did someone give any attention to the complaints the girl is having who is accusing, there is sexual abuse happening in that organization. How can someone find fairness in the “good”, when “evil” exists in the same place, and is practiced as a defence to proclaim good? It is foolishness to blame it on Devil, and trying to protect the Divine leaders.
Benny, if you are taking proud in the “revival” that Divine caused to happen, you should be proud of the Catholics only. I don’t agree Divine Retreat Centre has made any impact among the Protestants of India, or the Pentecostals. It is sad to say, but leaders of Divine Retreat Centre like Fr.Augustine Vallooran is very much “anti-protestant”. He goes aloof from non-Catholics. Look at some of the leaders of Divine Retreat Centre in other countries; they don’t even speak to non-Catholics. Please don’t try to blame it on other religion, denomination as “vested” interests. If Divine Retreat Centre and its leaders can’t respect the families having concerns, and can’t give some justice to the victims’ families, they have to atleast respect a High Court Judge’s interest who wants to bring justice to the needy.
However the irony is that when it comes to retreats, the leaders of Divine Retreat Centre like Fr.Augustine Vallooran need non-Catholic churches like Baptists churches to host the retreats. The Divine leaders in whom you take proud give catholic mass to non-catholics – a fundamental deviation from the Catholic Canon law. Without singing songs from a Hillsongs album – who are non-catholics, many of these retreats will lose its breath. If your denomination has been benefitted from the contribution of non-Catholics, it is called “Anti-Semitism” if you think nobody else have salvation, and blaming on “vested” interests.
It doesn’t matter what will come out of the investigation, and I will have no surprise although the leaders of this organization will walk free. But, hear what the Bible says:
“Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt. 22″Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. 23 If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry. 24 My anger will be aroused, and I will kill you with the sword; your wives will become widows and your children fatherless.” Exodus 22:21-22
What we read in the media is a whistle blower. If God hasn’t seen the tears of the ones who were oppressed by Divine directors like Fr.Augustine Vallooran, I may someday reject my faith, and become a neo-pagan.
SOME ‘DIVINE’ THOUGHTS: BENNY PUNNATHARA (Chief Editor)
The Divine Retreat Centre, which is hailed as the largest retreat centre in the world, has been a matter of wonder both to the faithful and the pagans. It was really amazing to see people belonging to various castes and creed speaking different languages and belonging to diverse denominations coming together for the retreats and getting renewed and transformed in the love and happiness offered by our Lord. The fact that they were able to serve food for thousands of people, 365 days an year, uninterruptedly was itself a matter of amazement.
Divine Retreat Centre inspired thousands of nominal Christians to return to living faith. Divine has caused the emancipation of many alcoholstricken families. Hundreds of people who viewed suicide as their sole way out of financial debt are indebted to Divine Retreat Centre for their faith filled life of today. Undeniable is the role played by the Divine in the spiritual rejuvenation of the Malayalees around the world. It has sheltered many a person and family by its rehabilitation programmes for the insane, the Aids patients and so on. But, the allegations that occurred in the newspapers and media during these days have been deeply agonizing. What should be our attitude when the interference of the court, the investigations by the police and the tortures by the media is pointed against this ministry? The foes of the renewal ministries will be rejoicing because they have got a whipping rod. The communal powers would take it as a golden opportunity to malign and tarnish Christians. It is easy to slander and criticize. But, often we fail to consider the tears and toils behind the administration of such an enormous ministry. How difficult it would be to guide a huge group comprised of robbers, murderers, drunkards and neurotic people. It is a tough task to find the required number of ministers. When persons lacking in proper training or spiritual experience are forced to be employed, drawbacks may occur.
The Employees’ Forum formed under the auspices of Divine Retreat Centre was intended to prepare the officials to stand for truth and justice amidst the corruptionfilled officialspheres. As a result, a great number of people quit bribery. A lot of people began to consider work as a service to God. It is a real pity to condemn such a good enterprise as a means of corruption. Many officials who are accepted honest encouraged this ministry for the common welfare. It is unfortunate to picture even that good as evil.
Above all what Divine has done is spiritual warfare. When the strongholds of evil break down, they will certainly retaliate. It is certain that the devil will employ any means to annihilate such a ministry. So, this situation is to be viewed spiritually. We should also not ignore the possibility of vested interests, communal motives and personal grudges behind these allegations. Whatever may be the source of these problems, these are days to be spent in earnest prayer.
Drawbacks are likely to occur in a ministry where such a great number of people gather. But, this should not be taken for a reason to underrate the great benefits that the people of Kerala have received through Divine because it certainly is a place chosen by God. And God has indeed come down there to give peace of heart, healing for mind and body, and liberation to every soul. Every village in Kerala will have persons capable to testify this truth. Therefore, when we begin to praise God for the good He has poured upon us through Divine, God will transform every evil into good.
What we need now is not the Pharisaic attitude that grabs stones to throw when problems occur, but the Christian spirit that kneels down to pray!

Kerala High Court Directs Govt. To Probe Activities of Christian Divine Retreat Centre
Vested Interest Suspected Behind Complaint
By Frederick Noronha
http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@goanet.org/msg38069.html
http://www.cbcisite.com/cbcinews797.htm
KOCHI, Kerala, March 14, 2006 (SAR NEWS) — The Kerala High Court directed the state government on March 10 to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) to investigate the various activities of the Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) at Muringoor in Thrissur district within two weeks.
Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair, acting suo motu on an anonymous letter, ordered an investigation into the alleged “criminal and social activities” in DRC. The offences under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, the Foreign Exchange Management Act and scandals like rape and deaths of some persons under mysterious circumstances should be investigated, the order added.
DRC, a venture of the Vincentian Congregation established in 1990 mainly for propagating the Word of God, has earned a pride of place among the pilgrim centres of the country, a spokesman for the centre told SAR News March 11. Over 25,00,000 devotees from various parts of India and abroad have visited the centre so far.
DRC conducts prayer services, preaching, discourses and sacraments throughout the year. Besides helping the devotees in their spiritual rejuvenation and liberation from alcohol and drug addiction, the centre also conducts healing services. Barren married women too have borne children after praying at the retreat center, the spokesman added.
Though DRC was set up mainly for spiritual enrichment and retreats, it also houses a de-addiction centre, a 100-bed after-care home for AIDS patients, St. Mary’s Home for Mother and Child Care, a 150-bed general hospital, a tailoring school, Divine Printers and Publishers, Divine Voice monthly magazine, a bible college and Divine Diary Farm.
The centre’s activities are being run smoothly with a 400-strong professionally trained counseling team to initiate spiritual awakening in the devotees, along with a 1200-member volunteer force.
IGP to head probe team:
The SIT investigation will be headed by Inspector General of Police Vinson M. Paul, the judge said. Mr. Paul is presently working as managing director of Police Housing Construction Corporation, Thiruvananthapuram. The Inspector General of Police is free to select the members of his team and the Director General of Police should make their services available to the team, the court added. SIT could resort to scientific methods such as polygraph test, brain mapping, DNA test, finger printing, etc.
The court directed the government to issue a notification under Section 17 of the Prevention Corruption Act conferring power on SIT to investigate the offences under the Act. It should also inquire into the allegations of unnatural deaths that have taken place there and find out whether there was a person by name Karyavelu working in the burial ground and another person by name Rinu attached to the Divine Retreat Centre and whether they died under mysterious circumstances.
Allegations of rape
A woman (identity concealed), now an under-trial prisoner lodged in the Kozhikode district jail, has complained to the district judge, Kozhikode, that she had been raped by a Catholic priest, Father Mathew Thadathil, attached to the centre and that she had become pregnant and gave birth to a baby. She had lodged the complaint with the Koratty police station, August 31, 2005. She was in DRC from November 2003 to June 2005, according to the complaint.
The Koratty police had registered a case in this connection, but made no progress in the investigation. The court said SIT should investigate the case. Circle Inspector of Police K.S. Sudarshan had investigated the matter, official sources told SAR News March 11.
The woman also alleged that bodies of several unidentified persons were found dumped on the national highway and rail-tracks near DRC. According to her, the bodies were not that of accident victims or of people who had died natural deaths.
The centre gets millions of rupees as foreign aid and Father Thadathil had tried to misappropriate Rs 300 million received for the orphanage attached to the centre. Hence it was necessary to investigate the role of the government officials in the running of the centre and whether any of the public servants had committed offences punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act, the judge observed.
The team should also collect from the court the three CDs and newspaper cuttings sent to the court by the author of the letter and seek further directions if necessary. SIT should file a preliminary report as to the action taken in the matter within a month from the date of the constitution of the Special Investigation Team in this regard.
The director of the Divine Retreat Centre, Father George Panackal, was not available for comments on the court order.

Dear ******,
Praise God! Words cannot express how good it feels to hear from you again. We have suffered incredibly for the past seven months due to the attack there has been on our ministry and in particular on our credibility. For the kind of work that we do, reputation is very important; and once that is at stake then we have really lost much. Varghese is not only against Abey but also against me. We can only pray that God who knows everything will bring the truth to light.
Our God is faithful. He who called us is faithful. He will see us through. Last year we went twice to Australia, once again to Africa, to the Philippines; and had amazing outreaches. We were invited to all these places.
In November according to Amy’s doctor’s request, I took her to San Fransisco from the Philippines. Abey returned home as we couldn’t afford to go together; moreover Varghese was mailing us all kinds of threats that he would get us arrested and so on… God have mercy on him. We were told in February by the doctor to show her again in 6 month’s time to ascertain whether the growth in her eye was a tumor. Well this time, the doctor checked her, the growth was still there, not a tumor he confirmed…. but this was the miracle…. Amy was able to read normally with that eye. The doctor couldn’t believe it!!!! Our God is an awesome God. Last month, we were invited again to East Africa; Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Nairobi. There were mighty miracles and wonders in Jesus’ Name. A middle aged woman’s throat cancer gone totally, a young man who suffered a stroke was healed… It was so amazing!
We are so happy to hear about Craig’s Marriage. Do convey our felicitations to him.
We don’t know if we will ever come again to ****. It must be cold there now… Inspite of the many invitations that we have received to minister in the States, this issue with Varghese stands as a stumbling block. If it is in God’s will, He will make a way….
Adrian is in a boarding school seven hours away from home. He was with us in Africa as it was his school holidays. Amy will be joining her brother in August. They are growing up well. They do remember you with much love. They had soooo much fun at your home.
Abey suffered a fracture in a toe before we left for Africa. I fractured my toe after we reached there. Adrian was down with fever and nose bleeds over there for a few days. It was really scary. Yet we kept doing our Lord’s work. Now back at home, we are taking a little rest.
Do convey our good wishes to Pastor **** and the lovely Church in ******.Our good wishes are with you. I wonder what impression our friend has given Pastor ****** about us. God bless him.
At a time like this, you really have no idea how much it means to hear from you. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness ****. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. Thank you for your friendship.
As always,
Swapna

Dear *****,
Hello! Praise God! It is with a heavy heart that I am writing you this mail. I was wondering whether I should ever tell you about it, but considering the damage that we have already incurred I thought you should know.
You would remember the couple that accompanied us on our mission to *****. The gentleman made great monetary demands on us by the time we were leaving the country. We paid him what we thought was fair towards him and agreed to pay some more; but now he is asking for too much, more than we can ever imagine. He has been telling all the churches that hosted us there in the States that we made $30,000 and absconded without giving account. He has sadly even written pornographic emails concerning us and cc’d it to several people.
All of this has not deterred us in our commitment to what God has called us for. Adrian is now in a mission boarding school, it was his own decision as he wanted a more settled routine. Amy will join him next year. This is a school for the children of missionaries all over the world, just an 8 hour drive from our home. We after our world tour went to Africa, Australia twice and to Singapore. We are now in the Philippines. It is hard to do what we are doing, with all this harassment and blackmail. It is worse when it comes from an associate of 11 years! We wonder what he will have already told Pastor Rajesh, or even you.
We were a little late to let people know, as we don’t really find the time to work on the computer as much as we would like to. This has taken a toll on Abey’s health. Please pray that God will bring peace and that we will be able to persevere till the end.
We remember you and the time that we shared at your home with much love and gratitude. Hope your family’s keeping well. God bless you.

Scanner on conversion centre Allegations of rape, murder Kerala; High Court orders probe (0)
Saturday, April 15, 2006, 10:07 AM – Divine News
From S. Chandrasekhar in Thiruvanthapuram, Statesman
Long before Pope John Paul II gave a clarion call for harvesting of souls and planting of Crosses across Asia, the Christian Church in Kerala has been doing the very same, with the Christian population estimated at around 23 per cent of the 3.25 crore population in this tiny state which hardly occupies 1 per cent of India’s land area. This is not taking into account the 7 to 8 per cent crypto-Christians, who are actually practising Christianity but retaining their Hindu identity, to enjoy the reservation benefits for backward Hindus.
Earlier it was the organised Churches like Roman Catholics, Syrian, Jacobites, Protestants, etc. who indulged in conversion, taking advance of the poverty of Hindus. There are Bishops in Kerala who claim that their ancestors were High Caste Nampoothiris and that they were converted to Christianity by Saint Thomas. This claim is highly disputable since arrival of St. Thomas to Kerala is not factually authenticated and why should Nampoothiris who enjoyed everything, due to their high stature, should convert to an alien religion? The ground reality in Kerala is that the supposedly majority Hindus are at the economic mercy of the Christians who control the landed properties, commercial establishments, financial transactions in almost entire South Kerala, the north being in control of the 22 per cent Muslim population. The entire forest area of Kerala, except in parts of Malabar are under the control of Christian encroachers, who have been allotted ownership ‘Pattas’. Ganja cultivation and illicit liquor have made them immensely rich. The liquor barons who are the effective rulers whether the left or the Congress comes to power are from the Christian Community. The sex rackets thriving in Kerala have also an alleged link to the Christian community. Innumerable are the cases of poor Christian girls who are forced to become ‘nuns’ due to poverty in their houses, being sexually exploited by the priests, murdered and thrown into wells, the latest being the case of sister Abhaya which is under CBI probe.
Now conversion has been taken over by the Pentecostal churches who have established shops in every nook and corner of Kerala. Crores and crores of foreign money is being pumped in by them for conversion of almost entire 30 per cent of the Hindu population, who are SC and ST. Bible conventions, miracle curing, treatment for drugs and alcohol addicts, meditation centre for depressed persons, arranging loans under government and NGO schemes are some of the allurements they use for converting the innocents. In order to humiliate the Hindus, neo converts are made to organise the Bible conventions and denigrade and mock Hindu gods. In total violation of VISA restrictions foreign missionaries come to Kerala as tourists and address Bible conventions, where they insult Hindu gods. This has led to serious communal problem in several places. Two years back an American evangelist, Cooper was beaten blue and black by the Hindus in rural Thiruvananthapuram when he insulted Hindu gods. The pseudo-secular congress government arrested local RSS Cadres and let the evangelist go scot free. Similarly a month back another U.S. evangelist David Terrell, was prevented from addressing a bible convention by RSS-VHP cadres and forced to go back home.
Now in a landmark judgement Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair of Kerala High Court has ordered the state government to constitute a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into various charges including sexual exploitation of men, women, rapes and murders at Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor, Irinjalakuda, in Thrissur district. The Justice has ordered that the SIT should be constituted in two weeks and that foreign exchange violations and all unnatural deaths that took place around that area during the past two years should be probed.
The judgement was based on a letter which a woman lodged at Kozhikode Jail had sent to the High Court. In it she had stated that she was raped by a Christian priest at the centre and when she protested, a case of theft was lodged against her and she was jailed. Her case of rape was not even registered due to the powerful influence, the centre has with politicians and officials. She had also alleged that in the past two years several dead bodies were found on the railway tracks and on the national highway near the centre and that the deaths were all un-natural. She also had stated that most of these bodies were buried in public grounds and when the keeper of the public burial ground objected to bringing dead bodies with injuries, he was found dead in mysterious circumstances. She had stated that she is witness to several women being sexually exploited and raped.
The court ordered the state government to post an IPS official of the rank of IG to head the SIT since several IAS, IPS and political leaders were associated with the centre. The court also ordered the SIT to use hi-tech methods like polygraph test, brain mapping and DNA finger printing in the probe. It finally ordered preliminary report within a month.
This judgement is a severe blow to the Muringoor centre which has converted that area into a huge township with hundreds of high-rise buildings etc. Lakhs of people visit the centre and such is the political clout that it has built a railway station and trains are made to stop there. For quite time Hindu organisations and magazines like ‘Crime’ have been highlighting the murky activities going on in this centre in the name of ‘Dhyanam’.
Let us hope that this landmark judgment will bring out truth going on in these nefarious centres in the name of Christianity.

Dear Preetha,
Hi! Praise God! I’ve been wanting to write to you for sometime, but we’ve been sooo tied up with pgms. How are you? How is everything at home? I hope ****’s mother is recovering. I am praying for you. Things did turn sour, I myself was quite surprised, but I hope all the expenses will be recovered and everything will be in good shape. You have always been very frank with me…, in your queries and otherwise, and I have only spoken what I was inspired to. If anything that I had said in order to help you spiritually or emotionally has upset you, I am sorry about it. But if anyone asks me I will only speak what the Lord asks me to. You know that.
How is your health? I pray that there will be good news soon.
Children are a gift from God. He will keep them safe and give them to us at the right time…
Do keep in touch. Convey my regards to ****, Aunty and Uncle.

Is JesusAndYou.com Abey & Swapna website? (0)
Monday, April 17, 2006, 04:48 PM – The Truth
I belive that you helped Abey and Swapna by creating a site for them, which they have published in all their prayer retreats. – Ruben Gerad Mathew, May 2002
They don’t have a website yet, but I will be creating one for them very soon, and it may be online within next two weeks, for I work for all Divine’s Websites. – Ruben Gerad Mathew, May 2002
It was a new shop and so I was browsing around after picking out the book when my eyes fell upon Abey and Swapna’s CD Anoint Me. I normally do not listen to that type of music & I moved on. However, I felt an urge to buy that CD and somehow I kept coming back to it. I bought the album with the intention of encouraging their ministry and sowing into it.A week went by before I decided to check out the website URL given at the back of the CD. While going through the site, once again the Lord told me to encourage them. So I wrote a few words to Abey and Swapna, and in a couple of days, I got a reply from the producer of the album. John Kodiyil, April 2003
And he was realising the sales proceeds of the album during that tour, even the sales on his website which he asked us to make as our official website. – Swapna Abraham, October 2005
He used to ask us to print his website details on all our cd labels and at that time he was putting news about us on that site and people thought it was our site – Abey Kalisseril, April 2006
The allegation surrounds a website called JesusAndYou.com (http://www.JesusAndYou.com). The alleging parties are Abey Kallisseril and Swapna Abraham. What they claim is that, we started an official website for them called JesusAndYou.com, they promoted the website as theirs, so their fans wrote to us believing JesusAndYou.com is Abey & Swapna website. Adding some seriousness to their allegation, we contated their fans on behalf of them, we made money by selling their music CDs to their fans, received cheques and deposited in our bank accounts and we became rich. Their webmaster Ruben Gerad Mathew – also a webmaster of Divine Retreat Centre – demanded us to hand over the JeusAndYou.com FTP information to him. Ruben Gerad Mathew wanted to confirm we are not “exploiting” the Catholic Charismatics like Abey & Swapna, and the institution Divine Retreat Centre. We did not abide to Ruben Gerad Mathew’s demand, so we are “fraud” in their terms. To substantiate their claim, John Kodiyil has his testimony on how did he come to know us. John Kodiyil is stating he wrote to Abey & Swapna, but the “producer” of the album – they are us – wrote to him by acting like Abey & Swapna representitives.
Let us address this allegation. There are two versions of the album ‘Anoint Me’ were sold in India. One was distributed by Adonai Musics – the distributing company of Abey Kalisseril and Swapna Abraham – and the other one was distributed by Divine Retreat Centre. At the back of the CD, you will see the website name www.JesusAndYou.com. In addition to this website name, you will see few email address abey@jesusandyou.com, anointme@jesusandyou.com. John Kodiyil says he wrote to Abey & Swapna through the website URL JesusAndYou.com which is on the back cover of the CD. Here are some facts. The email address abey@jesusandyou.com was never published on the website JesusAndYou.com, neither any of the personal email address of Abey & Swapna. On the contact page on the website, you will never see anything stated like the visitors are writing to Abey & Swapna.
If at all an email address abey@jesusandyou.com existed on the domain YouMeAndJesus.com, we never accessed that email address. To make it more clear, we did not login to that account or accessed anyone’s email. There are hundreds of users who are accessing JesusAndYou.com email service even now. We don’t login to their account or access their personal information – however we’ll take action against who abuse the email service. By taking John Kodiyil’s testimony, he has written to the online form on the website JesusAndYou.com. The online form sends the email to the email address product_support@jesusandyou.com only. If John wanted to write to Abey & Swapna, it wound not have been more easy to write to abey@jesusandyou.com which was on the cover, rather than on an online form on a website. If any of you have bought that album – irrespective of the two different versions, read carefully what is written inside the cover. It is clearly stated that the producer, the person who wrote the songs is willing to listen from the listeners – not Abey & Swapna.
John Kodiyil’s story on a public free website as this one like homestead is hard to sell except to guys having half brain. By the way, Bro.John Kodiyil revamped the homestead website couple of times with his own new stories. The different stories he put out on homestead within a period of 3 – 4 years strongly prove he is a man of confusion. He has two intentions out of that website – to drive traffic to his website timbrels.org – which is not in existance anymore. Secondly he wanted to tell couple of people to substantiate Abey Kallisseril and Swapna Abraham’s claim is right – that is JesusAndYou.com is Abey & Swapna website. How can anyone give credit to some information on a free website where he does not have any expense of hosting; he won’t probably write this on his own website. We read his spiritual spice – to help Abey & Swapna mission. But the fact is, this “jobless” guy wanted to bring in some projects to his new studio – he knows dollars have more values than rupees. We reviewed the email John Kodiyil claims he wrote to Abey & Swapna, to your surprise, the email was never addressed to Abey & Swapna.
A third person like Ruben Gerad Mathew contacting us to transfer the domain JesusAndYou.com to him for Abey & Swapna raises some suspicion. He did not reveal his address, and wanted our bank details which raised more suspicion. Hacking our Internet accounts after he did not receive any reply from us! Oh Boy, we are talking of a predator. If you have gone through this guy’s emails, you will see how he has so much backup from Divine Retreat Centre, and taking credit of their influence with various India Government agencies. Abey Kallisseril and Swapna Abraham claim that we made an official website for them, and if that is true, how many lines of an email will cost them to write to us to transfer the FTP information of JesusAndYou.com to Ruben Gerad Mathew. Neither Abey Kalisseril nor Swapna Abraham did that – they never wrote to us claiming it is their website, and need to be transferred to Ruben Gerad Mathew. They made the same attempt through another friend of ours before trying with Ruben Gerad Mathew.
Ruben Gerad Mathew in his email claims that there is no website for Abey & Swapna. This is a lie that Divine Retreat Centre, Ruben Gerad Mathew, Swapna Abraham and Abey Kallisseril cooked up. Abey & Swapna had their own website www.abeyandswapna.com from the year 2000. A copy of their website as it existed in July 2001 is at the end of this blog. Look at the back of their CD covers, you will see the website www.abeyandswapna.com.
The demanding letter from Ruben Gerad Mathew – claiming he is the webmaster of Divine Retreat Centre, and he wants the JesusAndYou.com FTP information from us did not surprise us at all. This plot – between him, Abey Kalisseril, Swapna Abraham and Divine Retreat Centre – was in the cooking pot for some time at least from September 2001. You may be asking a question yourself why they alleage we stole their website JesusAndYou.com?
Is www.abeyandswapna.com or jesusandyou.com Abey & Swapna’s official website? How many checks/cheques we received from Abey & Swapna’s fans, and where did we deposit that amount? Why did Divine Retreat Centre want to sabotage a non-Catholic ministry?
Continue reading our blog. We’ll reveal more truth. If you have a specific question, post the question in the discussion forum, we’ll answer you.

Dear Mr. Varghese,
I would like to state again that I have no contact with Abey or Abey’s father, and I have no contact with Abey’s father, nor have I met him. Abey’s father was “contacted” by Abey. He sent me an email yesterday telling me to step out of this becuase he will personally deal this problem. I cannot continue when Abey chetan tells me not to proceed. I would have paid you the 5 lakh if I had a job! Frankly, the only reason I contacted you was becuase you had taken Abey and Swapna’s site www.jesusandyou.com. But now I have created a secondary site www.abeyandswapna.com. So I have much more work to do there. And what is written about you H1 is what I herad, not what I know, almost everyone goes out of India with H1. BTW the site has not yet been opened for business, and the number of visitors so far is less than 10-25 according to weblog reports. That is me using ftp to upload the different stuff, and I have no idea who gave you information on this site. Moreover the details put in about you was not deflamatory but only facts as I was told to put in by Abey, but the very same week I had it removed, because Abey told me to do so over the phone. I don’t know if you have a leg, or a broken leg, I have never seen you. I don’t know you wife, and I don’t know who is abraham46 as mentioned. You have a lot of wrong conclusions. I was paid to work on www.abeyandswapna.com and that is all I did. You don’t have to raise a storm for there is more damages you caused me by haking into my hotmail, and yahoo accounts not to mention alibaba. That was my livelyhood, and you ruined it. But I have not said a word so far, I did nothing to harm your livelyhood. I don’t know what will happen in this crusade, but even if I have been asked to step out, I need back my site at yahoo and hotmail. Atleast once you have some amicable settlement. Don’t hold back my mail, and alibaba, as I need it for my work.

Dear Uncle Pappi,
Thanks….
As expected, he did not sign the second time. He being the first petitioner for divorce thru mutual consent, himself withdrew the petition because ‘he thought about the future of the children during the 6 months of reflection!!! This leaves me suspended for life unless I file…
And ever since then, since the truce period is over, he has been making life so hard for me in every possible way. First of all he keeps telling me that I am his wife (which is true), that the legal separation which I secured last year for my protection from more physical abuse and other atrocities… has also now become void, that I will get back to him, that I will have to get back to him, that if I don’t no one will accept my ministry or listen to what I sing or preach… These things he mails me or tells me when I called a couple of times to find out about what needs to be done about the children’s ten day break, since there was no confirmation from him. Finallly he says he’s taking them for all ten days… I cannot ask for them for half of the time since I got them for my share of the summer holidays and if they spent his share with his parents since he was out of the country, it is not his fault. So, I give in… Then he tells me to pick them from school and drop them at Kottayam and after the ten days are over to pick them from there and have them dropped back in school!!! I felt that beyond being just unreasonable and disagreed, but since no one came to pick them up on the closing day, I picked them up. Then he threatens my caretaker to bring them to Kottayam by bus (he himself has never travelled by bus). Without booking and much to the children’s disappointment, very unwillingly I had to send them. The second half of the journey was very traumatic, my daughter later mailed me. The very next day she had a sever stomach pain and had to be operated for appendicitis. What if the pain happened during the journey!!! God protected them… Anyway, post operation, I went to see her, spent some time with her in the hospital after which his dad confronted my parents with this and that. We left.
In the meantime, I have shifted from the rented house in Ooty to the new house there. There is still a lot of work to be done and I am doing it one by one according to what I get from here and there.
Abey has been telling everyone about his new born again experience, a new repentance and about his intention of getting reconciled with me and that I am not co operating but holding on to my decision. Only I know what’s the intention behind it. It is hard to convince people.
Revenue from the album hasn’t been showing up yet. I know it will take its own time. But I had a very edifying mission in Malaysia, although it was small. Am going to Dar es Salaam, Africa on the 20th. Please pray that all will be well.
That’s a little of what has been happening, since you already know a lot. Let us kep praying for each other. God will help me, He has to do it, if not I will be totally helpless.
Anyways Uncle, it is a blessing to have people like you even ask me how I am. Thank you very much. God bless you and your family. Let me know if you need my help for anything.
Warm regards,
Swapna

People Rally around Catholic Retreat Center As Hindu Radicals Press For Its Closure
By Jeemon Jacob April 19, 2006
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/1496
MURINGOOR, India (UCAN) — Thousands of people including Hindus have backed a Catholic retreat center in southern India after a Hindu front demanded its closure.
Posters put up by right-wing Hindu organizations in various places of Kerala state accuse Divine Retreat Centre of several transgressions. The groups have also held street corner meetings to condemn the Catholic center’s alleged large-scale conversion of Hindus.
The Vincentian Congregation manages the center at Muringoor, a village in central Kerala, about 2,900 kilometers south of New Delhi. According to its director, Father George Panackal, it is the largest retreat center in the world. It conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year, and has served more than 10 million people from all over the world since 1990.
Hindu radicals have opposed the Catholic center since its beginning, but they stepped up their opposition after March 10, when the Kerala High Court ordered an investigation into its activities. The Hindu groups have banded under Hindu Aikya Vedi (HAV, Hindu united front), which has the backing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian people’s party), the main federal opposition party.
“We have demanded (the center’s) closure,” HAV organizing secretary Kummanam Rajasekharan told UCA News April 11. He alleged the court ordered the probe after it found prima facie evidence against the center.
“Our investigations have revealed that the Divine center is involved in large-scale religious conversions,” Rajasekharan added. Other allegations against the center, he added, include murder and money laundering. He said his front would continue the campaign against the retreat center until it folds up.
Father Panackal says the controversies have not affected the center’s credibility. Soon after the news of the probe spread, thousands of people visited the center to offer prayers, he said. People from various religions have “pledged their support to us,” the priest told UCA News. “I feel happy about it,” he added.
However, the HAV campaign and the court order have hurt people at the center, many of them Hindus. Santosh Kumar, who now preaches at the center, views the developments as attempts to damage the center’s reputation. “But we believe in God and his wisdom,” the 32-year-old Hindu told UCA News.
Kumar, who moved to the center in January, said he has not “come across any illegal activity here.” He said he first came to the center in 2003 after his business suffered losses. After a weeklong retreat he decided to dedicate his life to preaching the Gospel at the center.
“Though I’m a Hindu by birth, today I believe in Christ and pray everyday,” said Kumar, who claims he has regained all that he had lost. He currently runs a hair salon at the center and preaches whenever he finds time.
Another Hindu “deeply pained by the allegations” against the Catholic center is Shyla, a woman living with HIV. She told UCA News she came to the center when she “lost all hope in life,” as nobody was willing to help her family after news spread that her husband had tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which usually leads to AIDS. “But Divine Retreat Center offered us a comfortable stay and care,” continued the woman, who now lives at St. Vincent Home, which is attached to the retreat center.
Her husband and daughter also are among the 100 people with HIV at the home. “The priests and nuns here are doing a great service. It’s unfortunate that they have become the subject of wild allegations,” Shyla said.
Sudheer Antony, a Hindu convert to Catholicism, sees the controversy as the “handiwork” of agents of darkness. He said he came to the center “voluntarily” and became a Catholic when he experienced God there. “I want to tell others what I have experienced,” he added, explaining his reason for staying at the center. He dismissed the HAV protests as “ill-motivated campaigns” and said God will protect the center from forces that want to destroy it.
Margaret John, 48, who lives in a house for poor people located in the center complex, said the allegations have “shocked” the people who depend on the retreat center. She said the center offered her and two daughters shelter when her mentally ill husband disappeared a year ago. She also said she has no place to go if the center is closed.

****,
May God truly forgive you for all that you have said and done. I am no dreaming girl. If only you understood a little bit of what it is for me to be and to have been a woman of God beneath the surface that you have seen in me all these years… I am the mother of two lovely children. You have no idea of what you are talking about with relevance to what has happened and what is happening now, nor have you truly seen the vindication of God. I am talking about my life.
May God bless you and your family. May He give you your heart’s desire, and even more, according to His riches in Christ Jesus. You and Preetha are in my prayers everyday. From your previous mail, I have seen the acclaim that you have received from the press and the public in the US. It is truly commendable. Keep the faith and keep up the good work.
Warm regards,
Swapna

hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: I wonder why that is so

Lord manifest at Divine Retreat Centre, but not in any other Indian Protestant Churches? (0)
Friday, April 28, 2006, 03:31 AM – John Kodiyil
john kodiyil: it got there in the form of Roman Catholisism
john kodiyil: pardon my spelling
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: then the protestant movement began
john kodiyil: you know about all that right?
hendermikl: you are a historian
john kodiyil: Did you know about all that, because I am covering many centuries
hendermikl: Not all. Thank you for all the info.
john kodiyil: Yikes
john kodiyil: then you better read up
hendermikl: This is how we learn the history.
hendermikl: read up where?
hendermikl: internet?
john kodiyil: so while all this was going on in Europe, Christianity was going on in India mostly unaware of what was happening, but most importantly, it was not under Rome
john kodiyil: got it so far?
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: yeah
hendermikl: continue
john kodiyil: so when the white folks came
hendermikl: to India?
john kodiyil: yeah, we were ruled by the British
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: and the dutch before that
hendermikl: I know India was a colony.
john kodiyil: yup
john kodiyil: so when they came
john kodiyil: they were surprized to see Christians
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: You mean in India or in your state?
john kodiyil: My state
john kodiyil: sorry
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: did you say Kerala your state before?
john kodiyil: Yes
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: I own it
john kodiyil: for the Lord
hendermikl:
john kodiyil: anywat
john kodiyil: anyway
john kodiyil: the missionaries that came with the white folk started churches
john kodiyil: these churches were under Rome
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: and when the asked the old christians here to be subjected to rome, they refused, stating that they were christians before Rome was
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: but some of them agreed to come under Rome, they are called Syrian Catholics, the rest dont report to the pope, the old christians that were here I mean
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: and as time went on
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: there were splits among them
john kodiyil: like marthoma
john kodiyil: jacobite
hendermikl: you mean fights?
john kodiyil: yeah
john kodiyil: Yes
john kodiyil: ‘Orthodox’ etc
hendermikl: did they split from Catholics
hendermikl: orthodox I have seen here
hendermikl: greek orthodox
john kodiyil: no from the original people who were converted by Thomas
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: Naa, this is different,
john kodiyil: not the same orthodox
john kodiyil: Now there are many denominations
john kodiyil: Pentecostal, Bretheren (like traditional baptist), etc
hendermikl: do they worship virgin mary?
hendermikl: I mean catholics in your state.
john kodiyil: Yes, but let me conclude
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: so in short Mar Thoma means St. Thomas in Malayalam, a language spoken in Southwest India. The church traces its origins to the apostle who church tradition says took a missionary trip to the region in A.D. 52 and converted Jews and Hindus living in what is now the state of Kerala. Christians make up only 2.4 percent of India’s population of one billion, but more than 20 percent of the population of Kerala.
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: The church, officially known as the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church, has about one million followers internationally and 30,000 in the United States. The national church is headed by Bishop Euyakim Mar Coorilos; the international church by Metropolitan Philipose Mar Chrysostom.
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: Just wait.
hendermikl: Let me take some notes here.
hendermikl: brb
hendermikl: back
john kodiyil: This is the marthoma web http://www.marthomasyrianchurch.org/
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: When I searched for kerala I got this site http://www.power2006.org/
john kodiyil: http://syriacchristianity.org/ another denomination
hendermikl: are they marthoma or catholics?
hendermikl: power2006
john kodiyil: let me see
hendermikl: they are catholic. they mentioned pope on the site
john kodiyil: ok
john kodiyil: Yes, this is a catholic institution: Divine Youth, Divine Retreat Center, Muringoor P.O., Chalakudy 680316, Kerala, INDIA
john kodiyil: From under the site
john kodiyil: sorry
hendermikl: let me see
john kodiyil: bottom of the page
john kodiyil: http://www.drcm.net/power2006/about_us.htm
hendermikl: are they big?
john kodiyil: yeah
hendermikl: are they nominal?
hendermikl: I mean nominal Christians
john kodiyil: Define Nominal
hendermikl: you told me nominal.
hendermikl: “but now, it is mainly focused on traditions, and so much of Hindu traditions have gotten into the church that it is almost pagan. More importantly, the power of the risen Lord is not manifested”
john kodiyil: Yes, but what do you mean by Nominal. I did not use that word
john kodiyil: what are the implications in your usage of the word?
hendermikl: whatever you meant of marthoma
hendermikl: I may be using the wrong word
hendermikl: I meant people like Marthoma not full gospel like you.
john kodiyil: yeah, but as you know
john kodiyil: the Charimatic movement, since the 60’s across the world, had brought the power of the Lord in the Catholic church
john kodiyil: and this center is a result of that in Kerala
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: Charismatic
john kodiyil: One thing, I never judge anyone
john kodiyil: to me Christianity is practical
john kodiyil: wait
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: you should judge
john kodiyil: if I see a blind man, I pray, lay my hand on him if need be, but the idea is that I send him home healed, this is what Jesus had done
hendermikl: then only you can say you are right.
john kodiyil: so all talk and all costume and no power does not cut it with me
hendermikl: so lord is not manifested in marthoma church?
john kodiyil: I dont know, but from the people I met who are in my church, they say no
john kodiyil: who were originally marthoma
hendermikl: the lord manifest in catholic charismatic places
hendermikl: you said marthoma came from thomas
john kodiyil: yes
john kodiyil: so?
hendermikl: what is the difference between charismatic catholic
hendermikl: and catholic in india
john kodiyil: there is none
hendermikl: is lord manifested in catholic churches?
john kodiyil: That is what the Charismatic movement was all about, in the 60’s started in the US, you should know about it
john kodiyil: Dont your elders teach you these things?
john kodiyil: the moves of God in the past??
hendermikl: brb
hendermikl: I’m little confused.
hendermikl: Do you mean Lord Jesus is manifested in full gospel and charismatic places?
hendermikl: No one else have Jesus at all?
john kodiyil: What are you talking about? I never marginalised Jesus. Jesus came to me when I was a muslime. You seem to want to put words into my mouth. Reminds me of someone very unpleasant that I used to know
hendermikl: I’m more like debating
hendermikl: So you have to take in that sense
john kodiyil: I dont want a debate, find someone else for that
john kodiyil: I actually have work to do, but am putting it off to chat with you
john kodiyil: See, this is what I do
hendermikl: Are you saying I have to simply believe whatever you state.
john kodiyil: no
hendermikl: then you have to clarify
john kodiyil: what did I state?
hendermikl: otherwise I’m confused
hendermikl: you said Lord is not manifested in Marthoma church
hendermikl: they you said you don’t know that personally
hendermikl: your friends told you.
john kodiyil: Yes
hendermikl: then you said lord is manifested in catholic churches
john kodiyil: not friends
john kodiyil: church members, pastors etc
hendermikl: I’m confused
hendermikl: after reading this news
hendermikl: http://www.thehindu.com/2006/03/11/stories/2006031115160400.htm
john kodiyil: I can give you a theology lesson through chat.
hendermikl: do you charge?
john kodiyil: Sorry
john kodiyil: I meant to say I can’t
john kodiyil: it was a typo
john kodiyil: P
hendermikl: have you read the news about Divine Retreat Center you just said Lord is manifested.
hendermikl: I’m totally lost
hendermikl: what do you really mean by Lord is manifested?
hendermikl: Do you mean talking in tounges?
john kodiyil: What Isaid was that the Charimatic movement, since the 60’s across the world, had brought the power of the Lord in the Catholic church and that center was the result of that in Kerala.
john kodiyil: so your answer lies in finding out what Charismatic movement was all about
hendermikl: please clarify me what is manifestation
john kodiyil: it did not start in India
hendermikl: of the lord
john kodiyil: tongues, healing, miracles, all resulting in changed lives
john kodiyil: but somehow they did not leave the pagan roots
john kodiyil: still worships idols etc
john kodiyil: I know that is wrong
hendermikl: you mean statues of mary
john kodiyil: And other people
hendermikl: What about Divine Retreat Center
john kodiyil: same
hendermikl: do they worship idols
john kodiyil: yes
john kodiyil: big ones
john kodiyil: I’d been there once
john kodiyil: for a recording
john kodiyil: long time ago
john kodiyil: in their studio
hendermikl: at Divine Retreat Center?
john kodiyil: yes
hendermikl: do you think Lord is manifested there?
john kodiyil: See
hendermikl: Are they under the leadership of Rome or within your state only?
john kodiyil: people have found Jesus and many healing have taken place there, but when I look at the mary worship etc, I know that is wrong,
john kodiyil: They are under Rome
hendermikl: So what is the truth?
john kodiyil: I am currently idle.
john kodiyil: This is what I think
john kodiyil: but it is my opinion
hendermikl: Is the healing miracles a manifestation of Jesus?
john kodiyil: let me use my example
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: When Jesus appeared to me, that resulted in a relationship with him
john kodiyil: ok?
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: but I will not condemn any healing done in the name of Jesus, the bible tells me not to
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: whats the verse for that?
john kodiyil: hang on
john kodiyil: Dd you have your Bible with you?
hendermikl: yeah
john kodiyil: Go to Luke 9
hendermikl: wait
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: Mine is New International Version. Is that okay
john kodiyil: no probs
john kodiyil: goto verse 49 and 50
hendermikl: wait
hendermikl: I’m reading wait.
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: please explain
john kodiyil: now read Mark 9:38-39
john kodiyil: sorry
john kodiyil: Mark 9:38- 40
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: please explain
john kodiyil: is it not clear?
hendermikl: what about this verse:
hendermikl: 21″Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
john kodiyil: yeah, so?
hendermikl: It is important
john kodiyil: But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
john kodiyil: Forbiding is done on earth right?
john kodiyil: yes or no?
hendermikl: Can you find someone anyone speaking evil against Jesus these days?
john kodiyil: answer my question and you will see where I stand on the issue
hendermikl: what do you mean by forbiding?
john kodiyil: What does the word Forbid mean?
hendermikl: in your words
john kodiyil: just what it means in English, now my question is this, is that action done by us or God?
john kodiyil: as per Jesus’ instruction
hendermikl: I did not get it
john kodiyil: who is Jesus telling that to?
hendermikl: disciples, right/
john kodiyil: yes
hendermikl: about the man.
hendermikl: whos that “man”?
john kodiyil: Dont jump the gun, bro.
So that means, he is talking about things we can do on earth
hendermikl: so we are three people in the story
hendermikl: wait brother
hendermikl: jesus
hendermikl: disciple
hendermikl: and a man
hendermikl: disciple we all know
hendermikl: we know jesus
hendermikl: whos this “man”
john kodiyil: just any man
hendermikl: not so
john kodiyil: read it up
hendermikl: that “man”
john kodiyil: someone who is not part of the group
hendermikl: disciples did not know but Jesus knew
hendermikl: thats why Jesus said
john kodiyil: yes, but that is your insight, but not explicitly written, but generically Jesus knows all men
hendermikl: let him do miracles
hendermikl: but the people Jesus did not know and doing miracles in Jesus name, Jesus said:
hendermikl: 21″Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
john kodiyil: Bro what I am trying to show you is this
john kodiyil: Forbidding and not forbidding, whatever the case may be, it done on earth by us
hendermikl: Brother it is not the insight
hendermikl: it is a revelation
hendermikl: whom Jesus know personally
hendermikl: and whom he does not
hendermikl: You may know him
john kodiyil: by getting into heaven in God’s business
hendermikl: but he may not know you
john kodiyil: that is not biblical
john kodiyil: whatyou just said
john kodiyil: anyway
hendermikl: it is biblical
john kodiyil: no pont
john kodiyil: I dont have time for this
hendermikl: thats why I showed the verse
john kodiyil: you jump from point to point
john kodiyil: not in this context
hendermikl: there is a lot of people who are in the world says
john kodiyil: Yeah
hendermikl: I know Jesus
john kodiyil: but that is God’s business
hendermikl: but Jesus does not know him because
john kodiyil: not for us to judge
hendermikl: the person is not doing God’s will
john kodiyil: not for us to judge but for us to do is not forbid
john kodiyil: that is all
hendermikl: In your words it may be a “posing as christian”
hendermikl: so there is posing
hendermikl: they are not real
john kodiyil: no, I did not use that in this context
hendermikl: Brother, pray about it
john kodiyil: we are talking about the healings that hapeen in Divine
hendermikl: ask God, do you really know me?
john kodiyil: What I am saying is that I dont judge
hendermikl: am I doing your will?
hendermikl: or am I speaking of miracles, manifestations?
john kodiyil: stop preaching to me bro
hendermikl: I’m not preaching to you
john kodiyil: anyway, I need to vacate the room, the maid needs to come and clean
hendermikl: I’m talking in a general sense
john kodiyil: whatever
hendermikl: I did not preach to you.
hendermikl: I know you are a Christian
john kodiyil: whatever
hendermikl: a full gospel
john kodiyil: I need to vacate the room, the maid needs to come and clean
hendermikl: but I posed that question to myself and each and every person
hendermikl: bwy
john kodiyil: that is your thing
john kodiyil: need not be valid
john kodiyil: in every case
hendermikl: thats right
john kodiyil: what is bwy
hendermikl: sorry
hendermikl: typo
john kodiyil: oh ok bye
john kodiyil: P
john kodiyil: so I’ll see you later

Friday, April 28, 2006, 03:11 AM – John Kodiyil
john kodiyil (4/21/2006 9:39:51 PM): Plus, what happened to me in 2003 is really not any of your concern. I do not need counseling from you nor do I need to discuss it with you. I will not raise my voice or point my fingers at anyone. I’d submitted the matter to my church pastor and elders and I’ve dealt with it. I have forgiven, and the Lord will deal with the rest. So let us put that aside ok bro?
john kodiyil (4/21/2006 9:41:30 PM): Well, we were not a ‘band’ for long, but only for some months in 2003. When I wrote that in the site, it looked like a good begening. Actually the people in the band were not originally christians. They were secular professional musicians I brought to the Lord, not through words, but through my character, work, behaviour and attitude, and they accepted Jesus. They were accomplished professional musicians and they did not want to leave that. They got really pissed off at what happened to me because of people pretending to be Christians. As I put my studio on hold, we parted ways as a band.

Friday, April 28, 2006, 03:14 AM – John Kodiyil
john kodiyil: Hi
john kodiyil: What do you think of Creed?
hendermikl: brb
hendermikl: Today our bible study was on religion.
hendermikl: Creed?
john kodiyil: the band, were they popular?
hendermikl: I don’t know.
hendermikl: Where did you hear them?
hendermikl: online?
john kodiyil: You have no heard of Creed?
john kodiyil: not heard
hendermikl: I’m not into secular music.
hendermikl: I mean non-christian
john kodiyil: Neither am I, but they were one of the most popular bands
hendermikl: Are they your friends/
john kodiyil: no
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: What do you teach?
hendermikl: Our bible study was on religion today.
hendermikl: I teach economics.
hendermikl: In bible study, normally world topics
john kodiyil: ok
hendermikl: We discussed about Hindu, Islam etc…
john kodiyil: Did you get my offline messages?
hendermikl: No
john kodiyil: hmmm
john kodiyil: let me check history, if it is there, I will paste it again
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: One of my friend asked about St.Thomas who came to India.
hendermikl: which year he came to India
john kodiyil: This is Thomas also known as dydymus
hendermikl: did he found catholism or marthoma?
hendermikl: I mean founded
john kodiyil: some years after Christ died, but do you know why he came?
hendermikl: no.
john kodiyil: He came to Kerala, my state
hendermikl: all my friends surprised
hendermikl: your state?
john kodiyil: because there was a thriving Jewish community here
john kodiyil: Yeah
john kodiyil: Well I dont own it,
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: then what happened
john kodiyil: Hang on, let me see if I can get a link for you to read
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: http://www.indianembassy.org/new/NewDelhiPressFile/kerala_christianity.html
hendermikl: wait
hendermikl: did thomas establish marthoma, am i right?
john kodiyil: Yes
john kodiyil: I am trying to find you a link
hendermikl: I did not understand why then you said they are nominal Christians?
hendermikl: are they not christians?
hendermikl: I mean real christians?
john kodiyil: Well it is like this
john kodiyil: Thomas came 2000 years ago
john kodiyil: and he moved as the apostles did
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: and there was the resuruction power of Jesus flowing out into the community from the church
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: but now, it is mainly focused on traditions, and so much of Hindu traditions have gotten into the church that it is almost pagan. More importantly, the power of the risen Lord is not manifested
hendermikl: so do you mean Marthoma believers won’t go to Heaven?
john kodiyil: DidI say that?
hendermikl: they what do you mean by nominal?
hendermikl: It was a debate today.
hendermikl: in our bible study
hendermikl: how are you different from marthoma followers.
john kodiyil: Let me ask you something
hendermikl: sure
john kodiyil: if you were born in a Garage, will that make you an automobile?
hendermikl: no.
john kodiyil: huh?
hendermikl: that means Marthoma people are not christians according to your anology.
hendermikl: sorry analogy.
hendermikl: I got it.
john kodiyil: No, that is not what I am saying. So if you are born into a CHristian family, will you automatically become a Christian????
hendermikl: that’s a good question.
john kodiyil: What does Romans say?
hendermikl: Can you tell me please?
john kodiyil: Let me open the scriptures
hendermikl: So what you are saying is that if you are born into a Marthoma family, you are not a Christian.
john kodiyil: I am not sayign anything, I go by what the bible says
hendermikl: what about catholics?
hendermikl: are there a lot of Catholics in your state/
john kodiyil: many
john kodiyil: who were called Christians in the bible
john kodiyil: ??
john kodiyil: The Disciples Were First Called Christians (Acts 11:19-26)
hendermikl: is there pilgrimage places in India for Catholics?
john kodiyil: man, for an American, you sound like a typical mallu
hendermikl: what?
hendermikl: mallu?
john kodiyil: A Malayalee, a person who speaks malayalam, the language of kerala.
hendermikl: like yankee
john kodiyil: yeah
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: I was confused first
hendermikl: How is Catholics in India? Are they like Marthoma?
john kodiyil: Romans 10: 9 onwards says this”That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” What do you think of that?
hendermikl: you are right.
hendermikl: What is the percentage of Christians in India?
john kodiyil: No not all, there are two main division, the people who became Christians through thomas, and secondly the people who became christians later when the brits and the dutch invaded us
hendermikl: how did catholism reached India?
john kodiyil: the people who became Christians through thomas were Hindus of High Caste, but the other converts were the lower classes
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: There is a branch of Catholics who were converted by Thomas
hendermikl: who are “other converts”?
john kodiyil: called Syrian Catholics
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: other converts? people who got converted later by the british
john kodiyil: wait
hendermikl: So did Thomas establish both Marthoma and catholism
john kodiyil: just listen
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: There was no “catholic” church as such anywhere when Thomas came
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: The name was formed many 100s of years later
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: but
john kodiyil: there were Christians in Kerala
hendermikl: okay
john kodiyil: I am currently idle.
john kodiyil: so when Christianity reached Europe
John Kodiyil is in hiding now after this chat. (0)

john kodiyil: I am currently idle.
hendermikl: why I have to send an email?
hendermikl: I have to ask Bud to do it
john kodiyil: Send me an email, to make it official. I dont initiate business through Chat
john kodiyil: Yeah, do that then
hendermikl: What will happen if you don’t finish the project
hendermikl: Is there a money back policy?

hendermikl: I did not get it
hendermikl: You mean we will get the money if you don’t finish the project.
john kodiyil: you said “[18:54] hendermikl: chat and email is smae” – I said “[18:54] john kodiyil: FOr you maybe, but I dont do business that way.”
hendermikl: okay
hendermikl: why?
john kodiyil: That is how I do things
hendermikl: Is there something wrong with the chat?
john kodiyil: I dont know, is there?
hendermikl: you said you can’t do it through chat
john kodiyil: Oh you mean as opposed to emais
john kodiyil: ok
hendermikl: This is what I want to know, then I can send the email
hendermikl: Is there a money back policy if you don’t finish the project
hendermikl: or ask Bud to do it
john kodiyil: No, it is just that this is how I do things. Initial chit chat is ok, but anything official about work being done has to be done through email. This is how I do things. Of course it is up to you to decide whether you want to go ahead with it or not.
hendermikl: We have to decide that, but that is based on is there a money back policy
hendermikl: what if you close the project as you close your music studio
hendermikl: and then we are in trouble
john kodiyil: Yeah that is cool question, but from now on, we discuss your website through email, I will answer all your questions
hendermikl: how come you can’t do it now
john kodiyil: I dont want to
hendermikl: why?
john kodiyil: I dont want to

hendermikl: are you afraid of something?
hendermikl: I’m technical
hendermikl: what kind of technical questions you want me to answer
john kodiyil: You dont know what a Domain name is.
john kodiyil: that is basic
john kodiyil: stuff
hendermikl: website name is simple term for domain name
hendermikl: if you are expecting your customers to be technical like you

At this point, the Divine Retreat Centre Volunteer Swapna Abraham took over the case from his ex-husband Abey Kalisseril. Now it is her turn. Isn’t she a diplomat for peace?
Swapna Abraham:
I would prefer that I meet you in person to discuss whatever will be of help to you, and my motive in doing so is that you do not misunderstand that I am trying to run away. Do give me your phone number and let me know where you stay. When I visit that place we could meet up and clear your doubts as far as I can be of any help. God bless you.
I am not comfortable discussing anything on the net, nor am I comfortable giving you my phone number, if you do not mind. Thank you.
Regards,
Swapna
Kalinga Drumz:
i live in cochin.you can meet me personally in cochin.before i give you my address i want the date when you’ll come.i will give my telephone number on the day you come.to give the directions to my home or office.no misunderstanding on you running away as long as you set the record straight.otherwise we’ll make the record straight with you and your husband.hope you can understand.
Swapna Abraham:
Will come to Cochin some time between the 22nd and the 25th of May. I don’t check my mail often. It will be helpful if I can have your number ASAP as I will be travelling soon again.
I don’t understand what you wrote in the last few lines, but you can tell me straight when we meet. The only mail I now expect from you is for your phone number just for the purpose of one discussion. That’s all. Thank you.
Swapna
Kalinga Drumz:
let me tell you something clearly.don’t bring in your stories that you brought to john kodiyil last time.if you have problem with varghese you take up that with him not with us.everyone is fed up of your junk stories.i want to discuss with you about paying our call sheet not anything else.full stop.what i want from you is exact date and time of your coming and your willingness to talk about making the payment only.i don’t meet girls privatly.you have to bring your husband or someone else with you like your lawyer.they will better understand our language.not you.
Swapna Abraham:
Excuse me, you can talk more politely than that if you don’t mind. Do not take advantage of other people’s courtesy. I agreed to talk to you only with the intention of sorting out any grievance that you may have against ‘me’, since you have been mailing me for sometime now, sending me excerpts of chats with Abey, and so on. Neither am I interested in meeting any person for that matter. It’s a shame that you misunderstand my most pure and genuine motives.
I have not asked you to do any work. I do not have to pay you anything.
Abey and Swapna’s problem with Varghese will or will not be sorted out between the three of us. I have no need to discuss that with a third person that I do not want to divulge anything to.
If you have done work for virgis and he has not settled your account, do not ask me for that. Am not even interested in hearing about it. You did not ask me when you took up that work from him.
John Kodiyil is not known to me on a personal level, although I have met him with Rajesh and Kiran Thomman () once. Pastor Rajesh Mathew (Joshua Generation Ministries. Cochin) is our friend, and John Kodiyil is in his Church. What was done at that time was done to protect anyone else from working with him after our bad experience with him, especially since Rajesh was also going to be affected?
I am not responsible for anything that you have discussed with Abey either, as we have been living separately for a while for reasons that I am not comfortable telling people I do not know.
Therefore, I will not be meeting you. I cannot help you in anyway and for the way that you interact with a total stranger like me, I’d dare not even communicate with you again. I hope that I have made myself absolutely clear. Thank you very much. I will be deleting any mail that you will send me hereafter as I am not wanting to get my fingers burned trying to help people who don’t even talk with respect.
Swapna
Kalinga Drumz:
man, you already confessed that you told john to stop the project.so you call john.and pay our call sheet.i told you.you are a court joker.you don’t know how the justice system in India works.whatever you want to talk to my lawyer,you can talk in the court.
no problem.you report to the police.you will spend at least a day in jail before getting the bail.the police can reopen some cases against you that you covered up.
matthew matthew / Abey Kalisseril / Abraham Mathew:
Do what you like man.I am not scared of you.I havnt done anything wrong nor do i owe you anything.I havnt even seen you.Dont play with words.Go give a case and lets see from there.
Kalinga Drumz:
eda kanjave, have you ever admitted you mistakes.your wife even left you.you pathetic no-life lunatic.come to the chenganoor police station next week.bring your fbi report also.
matthew matthew / Abey Kalisseril / Abraham Mathew:
What nonsence are you talking about.You have my number.If you have anything to complain, please call me up and talk.Dont harass me through emails.
Kalinga Drumz:
Complain to you? Who do you think you are to complain to you? nee areda, pallile achano? there is “complaint against” you, so come to the Chenganoore Police Station with your “FBI” report that you said you have against varghese. I don’t want your children to be victims of your stupidity, so better surrender rather than you are forced to.
matthew matthew / Abey Kalisseril / Abraham Mathew:
To yahoo,this person called manu is blackmailing me.Please take the necessary action.He uses a rediffmail address.I dont want anymore of his mails coming into my inbox.I think he is slightly mad and am losing peace of mind.
I am warning you again.Stop this harrasment.I am reporting you anyway.May God give you wisdom.Doing a gospel album and threatening me.I have nothing to do with you, You are the one who is scared.Writing emails pretemding you are someone else.
Are you the Police superintendent or the DGP?Why should i go to chengannur police station.No police has summoned me.Let me get a summons from them and then i will take it up from there.Just because you say,”come to police station”.Why should I?Are you mad?
Kalinga Drumz:
am I scared? Come on.if you were not scared at all, you would not have written the david long email.how come you did not talk to varghese, acting like someone, before coming to threaten and blackmail John Kodiyil, and sending threatening email to varghese after that.varghese has been questioned by the police? He has to get permission from you to produce his album? Varghese has to give you how many lakhs? Divine retreat centre has case against varghese?
Do you have a back spine to talk to varghese right now?
That is the same question to you.we are doing a gospel album for a producer.what in the hell you want to threaten John Kodiyil? You lunatic.what gospel has to do with you, you cocaine addict.you please talk about karappu, smoking pot into the nose, your days with girls.bible has those stories of people like you who went to hell.
give me your address to send the summons.i don’t want your parents to go to the Police station, so don’t give their address.also i don’t want your children to suffer.give your and your ex-wife’s address.we’ll go from “here”.
matthew matthew / Abey Kalisseril / Abraham Mathew:
Oh Its you Mr.varghese,you first tried your tricks with swapna and got her story and published on your site.You wont get anything out of me.I am not scared of you.GOT IT?
Ew all know your language.So GO AND TAKE A WALK.I have already complained to yahoo abuse about your threats,so dont think you can shut down my email and DONT U DARE HARASS ME!!!!!
Friday, May 12, 2006, 05:22 AM – Cover Up
Divine Retreat Centre has many branches in India. The Mumbai branch is called Tabor. One of the website promoting Tabor to the public is Glorify God – promoted by a girl named Melody. The site has a message board, many articles on “God”, and the map to Tabore.
The message board carries subjects like “Church Central – For discussions on Current Affairs in the Catholic Church & Church at large.” Can you explain what does that mean? I thought it is a good place to discuss the latest State investigation against Divine Retreat Centre. I posted the news paper report on the site, but within few minutes I received the following reply from the moderator.
I deleted the content of the last two thread starters you posted on May 11th. They both appear to be about personal issues and are potentially gossip. You may take up my decision with the forum owner, Melody if you wish to appeal. You may do this by using the PM or email option on this board. Here is the text of the posts I deleted. I will be more than happy to repost them if Melody decides I made a mistake.
According to the moderator, the latest investigation against Divine Retreat Centre is a “potential” gossip. “Potential Gossip”? After almost a month, the Kerala State Govt. started the Investigation, the faithful of Divine Retreat Centre has been spreading the lie that the Kerala State investigation against Divine Retreat Centre is a gossip, and the news paper is at its fault. This is the reality of the followers of Divine Retreat Centre – ignorant of the facts.
The moderator has another explanation that the personal issues with Divine Retreat Centre should never be addressed in public? I don’t quite get it why the thousands of people go to Divine Retreat for what reasons? Don’t they have personal issues? I should not probably discuss the personal problem Divine Retreat Centre created against me – if they had a chance to beat me up with their mafia they would have done that, now they can’t do that, but at least voodoo their faithful of lies such as “gossip”.
The Divine Retreat Centre nor its faithful never acknowledge their mistakes, and is in complete denial of their evil acts. This is the reason why this Kingdom still exists with its evil practices.

The people are trapped in Divine’s Fund raising tactics. (0)
Tuesday, May 16, 2006, 06:15 AM – Money Money Money
The following personal testimony came to our attention. The author Manoj expresses Divine Retreat Centre’s fund raising tactics.
The Muringoor Divine Retreat Centre is a Christian (Catholic) centre based at Muringoor, a village in central Kerala, India. It conducts large scale prayer meetings claiming that those who attend such meetings will be cured of all diseases, including major diseases such as cancer, AIDS, etc. Such prayer meetings are conducted in six Indian languages apart from English. It collects huge funds from India and abroad towards this “noble cause”. Its director, one Father George Panackal, claims that it had “served 10 million people from all over the world since 1990” (See Link: www.catholic.org )
I first came to know about this group from a trainer in Public Speaking (Bangalore,India), who conducts training programmes on Personality Development and Public speaking. I attended his course some time back. Though his course is essentially based upon the technique developed by Dale Carnegie (the legendary author and triner on Public Speaking), he has, according to me, a tendency to couch his course in obscurantist Christian beliefs. He even imparts absolute nonsense to the participants on various topics such as miracle cures, homosexuality etc. He teaches that prayers cures even such terminal diseases as cancer and AIDS, even after the patiants are given up by modern medical practitioners. My experience is that most of the participants who attend the course become very receptive to these unsubstantiated claims, once the trainer convince the participants, through his oratorial skills, to believe blindly in whatever he teaches. At the initial stages he even sounds a bit rational when he says tha he does not believe in astrology, palmistry, gurus etc.
Then comes his request! To contribute money to to Muringoor Divine Retreat Centre. Voluntarily! But he immediately takes out a writing-pad and asks the participants to tell their names and to declare the amounts each of them wants to contribute. Most of the participants fails to resist his demands and are trapped. He asks them to write their wishes on a sheet of paper, which, he says, will be sent to the Muringoor center where they will be prayed upon. And their wishes will be fullfilled in no time!
It is after this experience that I came to read a news that the Kerala Hight Court has ordered an inquiry in to various allegations agains the centre.

Wednesday, May 31, 2006, 06:15 PM – Fr.Augustine Vallooran
Fr.Augustine Vallooran is spreading the following defamatory email to a lot of people, and we received a copy from a church at Singapore.
Divine TV and its mission (0)
Wednesday, June 4, 2006, 04:21 AM – Wakeup Divine Retreat Centre
The new venture of Divine Retreat Centre is Divine TV. The intention is to spread the gospel – according to their website. In my opinion, they are going to use this as a propaganda machine to boost their reputation especially when this organization’s reputation is under threat.
Fr.Augustine Vallooran is one of the directors of Jeevan TV, a family channel run by Catholic priests from Kerala. The channel had wide publicity in the United States in 2003, since no one wants to subscribe to it, they stopped broadcasting. As some sources told me, the Jeevan TV started as a joint venture between different Christian denominations, but later it ended up as a Catholic channel. Abey Kalisseril once told me he is the one who told Fr.Augustine Valloran to start such a channel – I have to regret for putting some belief into that story.
I gathered all my family members, and couple of my friends to watch Jeevan TV; it was 3 years ago. The show started with bunch of girls and guys dancing to a tune of a song ‘Lajjavathiye’. The gals in western cloths – half naked – dancing to the tune just put shame on my face. In between the shows, there was a snippet of film ad. Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting! The hero of the movie injecting a sharp sword to the stomach of the villain, the blood splashing all over the face of the hero – he showed great relief of satisfaction for killing his enemy. What is this? Is this a Catholic Family TV Channel?
Shame on my face, I continued watching the channel. At 4:00 PM the religions programs started. It started with an English song. A girl walking on a long road, singing some English song, at the end of the song, Fr.Augustine Vallooran started his message. The message was pretty good for a Catholic believer not for any other Christian denomination. At 4:30 PM, the “Shabarimala” program started. No, Fr. Augustine Vallooran was not hosting the program. It is a non-Christian program. At 4:45 PM, here comes an Islam program. At 5:00 PM, again a Catholic program of Fr.Mathew Naikomparambil.
The programs ‘Streams of Grace’ and ‘Vachana Deepthi’ are Catholic programs, not something to entertain the other Christian denominations much. This is because, their own anti-protestant remarks in the program. I have a real surprise how it ended up showing up on a non-Catholic God TV?
Nobody is against Divine to start their own TV channels. But they should stay away from making “anti-protestant”, “anti-Hindu” and against any religion in that respect, any anti-social remarks on their channel. My prediction is that this channel Divine TV will be controlled by guys like Ruben Gerad Mathew and will generate more damages than good.
The public should write to the Department of Information and Broadcasting, India to cancel their broadcasting license if this organization try to spread anti-Semitism. Wakeup Divine, not just the Catholics, non-Catholics will be watching your new channel.
How a man’s venom is contagious? (0)
Saturday, June 4, 2006, 07:39 PM – Abey Kalisseril
that I will have to get back to him, that if I don’t no one will accept my ministry or listen to what I sing or preach… These things he mails me or tells me when I called a couple of times to find out about what needs to be done about the children’s ten day break, since there was no confirmation from him. -Swapna Abraham
When I read this email, I did not have much surprise. Swapna is simply a victim of their “own” venom.
It was in 2002 I got a call from a friend who is in Texas. A friend of mine; I have known him for years, our parents know each other; he tells me the ministry that I run will not get any support from the public anymore. “What is the reason” I asked him? He told me I sent pornographic emails, and the Christian community has simply rejected me. I asked him who told you this. Never a surprise! Abey Kalisseril throwing another “ace” onto the table. Now Abey Kalisseril has used the same “ace” against his own wife Swapna Abraham. Isn’t a man’s venom contagious?
It surprised me when I analyzed where this venom was fertilized, and why it is so strong. It is simply because of the denial of their own state, their pathetic situation, and a “no no” to clean up their acts. If they clean-up their acts how they can be different from other ordinary people?
I personally refute all the false accusations and defamatory remarks you mentioned in your email of 22 February, 2005 sent to the Catholic Spirituality Centre against the directors and volunteers of the Divine Retreat Centre – Fr.Augustine Vallooran, Director of Divine Retreat Centre

SOME BACKGROUND
Church Groups Suspect Gov’t Move on Asylums – Aims To Curb Faith Centers
New Delhi, August 27, 2001
Christian groups in India have welcomed a government plan to monitor asylums for the mentally ill, but fear that Hindu theocrats in the federal government would use it to curb the Church’s evangelical programs.
The federal health ministry’s move came in the wake of a fire tragedy at an asylum in Tamil Nadu, southern India, on Aug. 6 that killed 28 mentally challenged patients kept chained to posts and cots. Many such asylums in the state were attached to places of Muslim worship where people flocked to heal mental disability through prayer.
The All India Christian Council, an ecumenical laity organization, warned that if the plan is implemented, “even genuine evangelical camps can be monitored and harassed.” It suspects that pro-Hindu groups want to keep under surveillance Christian centers frequented by believers in faith healing.
A council statement noted Hindu militant groups’ allegation that Christian faith-healing centers such as the Divine Retreat Centre in the southern Indian state of Kerala used faith-healing sessions for conversion.
It urged the government not to deny the mentally disabled patients’ right to get relief from counseling, medication or “some other non-quack therapy.”
Condemning the move to “choke genuine evangelistic activity,” the Christian council challenged the government to regulate centers where Hindu holy men, quacks and “spurious preachers brainwash people.”
The Divine Retreat Centre’s weeklong retreat attracts some 5,000 people and its leaders see the government’s plan as “an overreaction and a hasty move.” Retreat center associate director Father Augustine Vallooran told UCA News that they support the ban on centers that exploit the mentally disabled, but opposed curbing religious and voluntary groups’ efforts to help those suffering psychiatric disorders. He noted “cruel, primitive and dangerous health conditions” in government-run centers, and urged the government to build proper infrastructure to rehabilitate the mentally challenged, “instead of looking at us as enemies.” The Vincentian priest said people of all religions flock to their center “for prayer and retreat, not for conversion” and “a dedicated team of priests who uphold Christian spiritual values” addresses their problems.
Bishop Gregory Karotemprel of Rajkot also supports checking superstitions, but views as “futile” the government plan to keep surveillance on faith.
Father Roland Fialho, director of Bombay archdiocese’s Catholic Charismatic Renewal, said the ministry of healing will continue as people will not tolerate government interference with their practice of faith.
Archbishop Oswald Gracias of Agra, secretary general of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, said he worries about the government move, but said “it will not dissuade the Church from practicing our faith in healing the sick.” He said the government “will cut a sorry figure internationally” if it interfered with its people’s constitutional right to practice their religions.
Bishop Karotemprel said he finds “Hindu faith healing centers worse as some of them practice even human sacrifice.” In the past three years, Rajkot witnessed four human sacrifices to appease gods and to seek prosperity. “But none of the culprits or the victims was a psychiatric patient,” he added.
Jesuit Father John Chrysostom of Patna, eastern India, noted that “healing through faith in the mercy and miracles of the Supreme Father has been an integral part” of most religions. His confrere Father George Karamayil, who heads Patna arch-diocese’s charismatic renewal team, claimed that their programs have helped reconcile families and lessen drug addiction.
Bishop Victor Henry Thakur of Bettiah said that Church centers provide an alternative when medical sciences fail and that even medical experts have accepted that psycho-somatic illnesses can get healed through prayer.
Father K.T. Mathew, a Jesuit in Gujarat, western India, said most faith-healing centers are “fake” and exploit people’s sentiments for money, and Archbishop Marianus Arokiasamy of Madurai, southern India, said religious leaders must educate people to seek medical care for the mentally challenged.
Retreat groups ‘sell’ spirituality through ads
www.ucanews.com/2002/07/09/retreat-groups-sell-spirituality-through-ads/
Kochi, India, July 9,
2002
Jesus appears nowadays in southern India among film stars and with women wearing gold, on billboards and in newspaper ads, but not everyone is buying the new strategies for marketing “spirituality.” “Let the light of purity radiate in your mind and body,” says the caption of a newspaper ad that portrays Jesus Christ on the right and a woman wearing a gold necklace on the left. The advertisement sponsored by a jewelry firm promotes a Bible retreat by the Vincentian-managed Divine Retreat Center, the biggest charismatic group in Kerala state, a Christian stronghold.
Several other groups in the state are also vying to attract people to their retreat facilities through print and TV ads, posters, pamphlets and booklets.
Father Paul Thelakat, spokesperson for the Syro-Malabar Church, one of the two Oriental Catholic rites in India, told UCA News, “Spiritual organizations using business means to spread the word of God is not a good trend at all.” Charismatic retreat centers are “not commodity sellers,” he said, and spirituality ought “not to be sold like other goods.”
Daily, though, new billboards in market places and new posters on electricity and telephone poles invite people to retreats in Kochi, Kerala’s commercial capital, and other cities.
“Rest awhile with Jesus. Attend our annual charismatic retreat,” says a poster from the Messengers of Jesus, a renewal group affiliated with the Infant Jesus Church in the city.
“Live with Jesus. He rescues you from sins and takes you to heaven,” announces a poster displayed on busy Market Road.
Rather than being inspired by the ads, though, Mathew Varghese, a Catholic, wrote in a letter to “The Malayala Manorama” newspaper that such marketing techniques “are killing the basic Catholic faith.”
Babu Chacko, writing in “Sathyadeepam” (light of truth), run by the Syro-Malabar Church and edited by Father Thelakat, laments that it is “sad” to see Christ in posters “along with the local film stars.” Sometimes cows and buffalo eat away these posters, he added.
Father Thelakat sees a “terrible danger” in spiritual leaders becoming “commodity sellers” and in “spirituality degenerating into materialism. “It is unfortunate, he told UCA News July 2, that many charismatic groups do not deal with socio-economic evils but indulge in “dishing out publicity materials to attract people for spiritual conventions.”
Joseph Kurien, a retired bank manager, says the real problem lies in “tough competition” among retreat centers, which then seek “ways of using marketing devices to get people.”
However, Vincentian Father Augustine Vallooran, associate director of the Divine Retreat Center, maintains that their advertisements are meant “not to lure people but to inform them about the events.” “You understand that the newspapers do not give information free of cost. Hence I do not think that the sponsorship from the generous persons is a bad idea,” Father Vallooran told UCA News in June.
He said his center attracts some 10,000 people for its weeklong programs. “Genuine” retreat centers such as his, operating with the bishops’ permission, have “considerably increased” the faith of the people, he said.
These centers have brought many good results, the priest added, citing among them increased participation in liturgical and sacramental life, more family prayer and better discipline in Catholic educational institutions.
According to Shalom, a Catholic charismatic group, Kerala has nearly 55 major charismatic renewal centers catering to some 6 million Christians among the state’s 30 million people.
George Joshua, a “Pentecost” retreat preacher, said he finds no harm in advertisements and publicity campaigns to announce their programs. Joshua told UCA News June 26 that the ads just inform people and “it is wrong to describe our efforts as commercial.” He said opposition to the charismatic conventions should be seen in the light of the ban on some groups by Church officials.
In 2001, the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council banned two charismatic groups that they said used misplaced Catholic beliefs and theological positions.
Meanwhile, some right-wing Hindu leaders have urged the government to take action against Christian faith-healing centers, which they accuse of trying to convert people of other faiths. One of the leaders, V.K. Prabhakaran, told UCA News June 28, “We know for sure that many Hindus have been converted to Christianity through these charismatic groups. We have to stop them from spreading their superstitious religious means to other communities.”
Kerala Wants Faith-Healing Centers to Register and Use Modern Medicine
http://www.ucanews.com/search/show.php?q=yoga&page=archives/english/2003/08/w5/tue/IB4621RA.txt
Kochi, India, August 26, 2003
The government of a southern India state wants the growing number of faith healing centers of various religions to register and to supplement their spiritual healing with modern medicine.
The Kerala state government has already called on some faith healing and retreat centers to register with its health ministry, purportedly to help them integrate modern medicine with spirituality. Church and religious leaders welcome the move but caution against state interference in the functioning of the centers, which they say are meant to better people’s spiritual condition.
P. Sankaran, Kerala’s Health Minister, told UCA News on Aug. 20 that the past decade has seen the mushrooming of spiritual and faith-healing retreat centers in the state, many claiming to heal mostly mental diseases.
Sankaran said the centers “belong to Christian, Hindus and Muslims communities, but the government does not have any statistics on them and on their systems.” He added that his government nonetheless wants to work with the centers. A team of doctors and experts from the state’s Mental Health Authority (MHA), which coordinates various mental health initiatives, is currently visiting some centers, he said. “Our idea,” Sankaran explained, “is to ensure availability of a psychiatrist, laboratory, referral infrastructure and other modern facilities in these centers to enable them to serve patients better.”
Notices that the MHA sent out on Aug. 5 to 36 prominent faith healing centers have solicited their views on the government’s plan to integrate modern medical systems within the spiritual centers. According to MHA Secretary Suraraj Mani, responses “have been encouraging. He told UCA News on Aug. 21 that most centers “are willing to experiment with scientific tools along with spiritual practices.” The government’s intention, Mani noted, is “to set certain specific, good standards” for the centers.
Ravi Shankaran, a Hindu who runs Bharat Yoga and Spiritual Center in Aluva (formerly Alwaye), 2,570 kilometers south of New Delhi, says he is “a little apprehensive” about the state government’s move. Shankaran told UCA News on Aug. 20 that he is skeptical about the government claim that a psychiatrist’s presence during the healing process would help a mentally ill person.
The Divine Retreat Center, managed by the Vincentian Congregation, has not received the government notice, according to Father Augustine Vallooran, its associate director. He told UCA News on Aug. 19 that more than 5,000 people attend retreats at the center every week and “most get healed.” The priest maintains that the center in Muringoor, about 2,900 kilometers south of New Delhi, does not need government-appointed medical practitioners and psychiatrists. It has separate wings to serve people with different problems — some looking for spiritual solace, others seeking liberation from drug addiction or alcoholism. “We do not mingle patients who suffer from psychiatric disorders with others,” Father Vallooran said. “We manage our institution scientifically and spiritually well.”
However, the Islamic Spiritual Movement (ISM), which gives religious and spiritual guidance to mentally depressed people, welcomes the government move to register spiritual retreat centers. Its director, Mustafa Rehman, told UCA News on Aug. 21 that this will help restrain fake spiritual healing centers and end their exploitation of people in the name of religion and spirituality.
MHA Secretary Mani observed that medicine today accepts the positive impact of religion and faith, and spirituality is part of the medical curriculum in several Western universities. However, he pointed out, “a large number of the mentally ill are reluctant to seek treatment in the mental hospitals because of the stigma attached to the illness, so spiritual retreat centers are the best places for their treatment.” He also admitted that the government lacks the infrastructure to handle increasing cases of domestic disturbances, violence, drug addiction and suicide. Government data reveal that there are 31.5 suicides per 100,000 people in Kerala, one of India’s highest rates. The national average is 10 per 100,000.
Though DRC was set up mainly for retreats, it has a 100-bed after-care home for AIDS patients, a 150-bed general hospital, a tailoring school, its own in-house press, Divine Printers and Publishers, Divine Voice and Vachanotsavam monthly magazines, a Bible College, and Divine Diary Farm, providing gainful employment to over 1,500 persons.
Christian politicians protested the raid in the Kerala State Assembly in the State capital, Thiruvananthapuram, and K M Mani added his voice to the protest. Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan gave an assurance that the functioning of the Centre would not be disturbed.
Opposition leader and former State Chief Minister Oommen Chandy paid a visit to the centre on October 8 and heard the statements of Fr Panackal. Chandy, an Orthodox Christian, released to the media an October 10 letter in which he demanded an explanation from the government.
The Thrissur Archdiocesan Minority Rights Protection Council joined the protest. In a press note issued October 9, Father John Ayyankana, secretary of the Council, said the police raid on DRC was a blatant infringement of the fundamental and minority rights guaranteed in the Constitution of India. The policemen behaved impolitely with the women inmates of the center, as the raiding team had no women police with it, the press note alleged. The policemen rudely interrogated even the AIDS patients undergoing treatment at the DRC hospital.
If the government attempted again to humiliate the DRC, the faithful would resist it at any cost, Father Ayyankana said.
The following day, October 11, saw
Varkey Cardinal Vithayathil, Major Archbishop Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese, issue a statement on the entire issue after a visit to the Centre. The statement listed and lauded all the spiritual and material ministries and services of the Centre, praising the apostolate of the Vincentian Fathers and holding “a microscopic minority” of evil people responsible for conspiring to malign the Centre. The Cardinal deplored the police investigation for “trespassing all the limits of decency and respectability.” The media projection of the investigation was “despicable”, he added. He called upon the Government and the Home Minister to urgently “correct the police excesses and to take the necessary steps not to repeat such unwarranted actions in future.”
On October 16, the Kerala High Court asked the probe team to submit the report in a sealed cover before November 17 – the day fixed by the court to make its assessment.
The following day, October 17, the entire opposition walked out of the Kerala Assembly after its demand that Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan visit the DRC was turned down. Raising the issue, K M Mani said that the police violated norms in the Criminal Procedure Code, harassed AIDS patients, ill-treated the mentally ill, and held the director of the Centre under wrongful confinement. Balakrishnan denied any atrocities by the police and stated that he could not visit the Centre as the matter was subjudice, upon which the opposition stormed out.
With politicians in the state, cutting across party lines, raising a hue and cry and Fr Panackal petitioning the court to stop the inspections, Justice R. Basanth dismissed the petition and ruled that the court has the right to order inspections even if it is a place of worship or prayer.
A week later, October 23, Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C. Director – English & Other Language Retreats Divine Retreat Centre, issued a statement under the title “The Truth in the Recent Happenings at Divine”.
In it, he claimed that the Centre had “been subjected to allegations perpetuated by certain communal forces that have been regularly handing out false news and claims against us to the mass media.” Denying the allegations made in the media that there were no qualified medical personnel, the priest said that there were in fact one resident medical officer, four clinical psychiatrists, one general physician, one homeopathy doctor, two ayurvedic doctors, registered pharmacists and several qualified nurses serving at their Care Centres and Homes ensuring that medications that were prescribed to them by qualified doctors from surrounding hospitals were correctly taken. He protested the rough and insensitive behaviour of the Police Investigation team against the inmates of the Centre.
Fr Vallooran then quoted from the earlier statements of the Kerala Cardinal, the Bishop of Irinjalakuda, DRC director Fr Panackal and other Catholic leaders and activists. His letter was published in the December 2006 issue of Charisindia, the monthly magazine of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR).
DRC being a centre for retreats of charismatic spirituality, and because of the rumours and negative publicity that the charismatic renewal movement was now attracting, the Chairman of the CCR, Cyril John, issued a letter addressed to the episcopal authorities and charismatic renewal leaders on November 21 appealing for support and prayers. Enumerating the works of mercy of the institution, he expressed regret over “certain unfortunate happening and false news reports surrounding the Divine Retreat Centre”. He charged that “The police obstructed the celebration of the Eucharist, Eucharistic adoration, etc. and misbehaved with the women and the sick. The police surrounded Fr George Panackal, Director of the Centre and prevented him from getting in touch with the Provincial of the Congregation and the members of the Church hierarchy.” He deplored the raid conducted and the attitude of the police team which indicated that “it was done with the motive of maligning the good and humanitarian works being carried on by the Divine Retreat Centre. The action was an infringement of the human and minority rights and the freedom of worship.”
He too referred to “the forces of evil” and criticized the print and electronic mass media for “trying to blow up the events beyond proportion” resulting in the spread of “false reports” about the Centre.
With accusations already being hurled around that the DRC issue was being politicized, Pinarayi Vijayan, the Kerala State secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) – his leftist government rules the State — visited the Centre on November 20 and addressed a press conference that was extensively covered by the media, blaming the police for “crossing the limits” and praising the centre for carrying out an “exemplary humanitarian service”. Parts of his statement were interpreted in the light of the existing conflict between the State government and the judiciary which had ordered the police probe.
2007
Almost thirteen months after the High Court order, unable to work under constant police surveillance and questioning of its employees and volunteer force, Fr George Panackal submitted a petition to the Supreme Court of India with the argument that if there were no objective evidences against DRC, the order should be given a stay.
The Supreme Court of India admitted their petition on 30 March. As a result, the Special Investigation Team and the Kerala Government were served notices that they should file a response in four weeks.
On April 30, seven months after the search of DRC, and four weeks to the day of the DRC petition, the SIT filed a First Information Report (F.I.R.) at the Koratty police station indicting Fr George Panackal, administrator, Father Mathew Thadathil, a nun and seven other members of the staff. They were named in the FIR in order to facilitate progress of the investigation, according to the Inspector General of Police.
The charges came “under Indian Penal Code sections dealing with criminal conspiracy, wrongful confinement, voluntarily causing harm with dangerous weapons, poisoning and tampering with evidence.” (Sections 324 (hurt), 342 (wrongful confinement), 420 (cheating), and Section 82 of the Mental Health Act.)
“The team also found that during 1996-2006 as many as 900 odd ‘mysterious deaths’ took place at the centre and on many occasions bodies were disposed off without informing the police. The documents were allegedly forged to make it appear natural deaths, the FIR said, demanding a detailed probe into these deaths. The probe team found that several persons were locked in cells in the name of healing. Persons showing violent signs were often injected with unknown drugs by untrained hands. The report accused the center of running a mental hospital without a license and administering drugs without prescriptions from qualified medical professionals.
Besides the FIR filed at Koratty police station, the team also filed a report before the first class judicial magistrate. It also recommended a probe into the foreign funding of the healing centre.”
Father Panackal, in a public statement, alleged “a police vendetta against the Centre after it challenged the High Court-ordered investigation and filed a review petition in the Supreme Court”.
As soon as the SIT received the Supreme Court notice, “they had an FIR registered against Divine Retreat Centre in a great hurry – without respect to the truth or facts,” Fr Augustine Vallooran added. “This occurred exactly 8 hours after the investigation team receive the notice… at the unearthly hour of 10 p.m.”
Fr Vallooran used the DRC website to explain the “glaring faults that stand out in the allegations highlighted in the FIR.”
He explained the circumstances of the alleged suspicious death of a woman inmate, Neena Govindavan who actually succumbed due to a faulty heart valve, and recalled that the case against Fr Thadathil was filed by a convicted felon, while the DNA test results had totally established the innocence of the priest.
If the 974 deaths reported as ‘shady’ by the media had occurred at the Centre, it was not unexpected considering the lakhs of devotees, many of them very sick or terminally ill, who throng the Centre; and the relevant medico-legal records were duly filed at the local panchayat office, he added. The record of the 974 who had died in DRC was not the result of police investigation but was what the Retreat Centre had entered in its own files.
He charged that “Sensationalism on prime-time television news, radio and newspapers without verifying the truth or reporting the true facts has caused irreparable harm and pain to innocent parties and to the works of Divine Retreat Centre. There has been a very calculated move on the part of the communal forces to shut down this House of Prayer by continuously raising false allegations and instigating communal tensions.”
A joint communiqué issued by Fr George Kammatil VC, Superior, and Fr Augustine Vallooran to the Jesus Youth International Ministries once again refuted all the allegations. They further noted that it was a matter of concern that there was no effort on the part of the police to question the responsibility of the group that raised such atrocious allegations. It was when this group and their allies failed in their attempts to malign Fr Thadathil and the Centre that they had come forward in an concerted attempt with another bold and evil allegation of ‘mysterious deaths’.
A plea was submitted by the Maria Palana Society on behalf of DRC which contended that the High Court had passed their order without hearing its version. It was further contended that an FIR was registered against the officials of the centre alleging that they had committed offences under different sections of the Indian Penal Code and of the Mental Health Act. The petitioners sought stay of all further proceedings contending that a special investigating team was constituted within four hours after receiving the apex court notice and this was with an intention to defeat the purpose of the special leave petition. It was further averred that three witnesses were inimically disposed towards the petitioners and they belonged to a rival centre.
Meanwhile, the Kerala state unit of the Hindutva Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) demanded the closure of the Centre.
After the Centre was subjected to a surprise inspection by a joint team of police and state health department officials in September last year and “the inspection detected irregularities in the manner in which the centre was treating a large number of patients suffering from depression and alcoholism”, DRC appealed but Justice R. Basanth dismissed the petition and ruled that the court has the right to order inspections even if it is a place of worship or prayer.
The aggrieved Centre had also approached the apex court but it upheld the HC order.
On May 17, rejecting the plea submitted by the Maria Palana Society, the Supreme Court permitted the SIT to proceed with the investigations, but instructed that the team must consult the court before arresting anyone related to the case, in effect staying the arrest of the accused officials of DRC.
On May 18, the Supreme Court stayed the arrest of all the 10 accused in the Divine Retreat Centre case.
June 7, the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council (KCBC) stated that they would refrain from interfering in the investigations.
At the end of their annual meeting held December 12-13, 2006, an official had announced the bishops’ plan to issue guidelines that would impact all Catholic retreat centers in Kerala within three months. The DRC welcomed this.
2008
February 6, 2008, the Supreme Court reserved its orders in the Divine Retreat Centre case.
One Jomon Jose sought intervention of the Apex Court to set in motion the competent authorities to regulate and prohibit the alleged irregular and illegal activities carried out at the Centre. The Bench directed the parties to file their written submissions within a week.
A month later, March 11, the
Supreme Court set aside the Kerala High Court order relating to the DRC probe by a Special Investigation Team of the state police.
March 12, the Supreme Court held that High Court judges cannot treat anonymous letters and petitions listing allegations against individuals or institutions as public interest litigation and order suo motu investigation.
In this case, the single judge of the High Court ought not to have entertained the anonymous petition, contents of which remain unverified and made it the basis for setting the law in motion against the appellant as he was not entrusted with the judicial duty of disposing of PIL matters, they opined. The DRC was delirious with joy after the ruling of the apex court.
On April 9, police formally announced the close of their probe into the activities of the Divine Retreat Centre.
2009
November 2009, Kerala police said that they had cracked a bible-smuggling racket that has been selling copies of the Bible, printed at the Divine Printing Press, on the black market. The collusion of DRC employees was suspected.
The following month, news broke that the Special Investigation Team which had been probing the allegations raised against the Divine Retreat Centre revealed that major irregularities were found by them in the functioning of the Centre, nearly a year after the Supreme Court quashed the SIT, therefore nullifying its findings.
One of the widely discussed incidents probed by the SIT was the disappearance of Celine Lopez, 35, of Alappuzha, from the DRCM, who was serving as a caretaker there. The case was first investigated by the Koratty Police.
“During the investigation, the SIT collected evidence sufficient enough to suspect that Celine was having physical intimacy with a person at the DRCM and got pregnant from that relationship” stated the SIT report.
Experts point out that though the SIT was quashed by the SC, there was scope for a fresh investigation into the case. Earlier, relatives of Celine had approached the court seeking a CBI enquiry into the case.
“Those who were running the DRCM were reportedly administering stupefying drugs on persons who turned violent and on those who disobeyed their instructions,” the report stated.
2010
January: The High Court of Kerala told police to restart the probe into the DRC.
Saji Raphael, the retreat center’s legal consultant, stated that the claims were the result of a conspiracy against the Centre.
On February 26, the Supreme Court intervened and ordered police to wind up all investigations against the Divine Retreat Centre. It said that investigations against the Centre are “not maintainable under law” and ordered an end to all police investigation into it, including the allegations of rape and murder.
In July, the Cyber Cell of Kerala police on Saturday arrested the Chief Editor of the highly popular CRIME magazine T P Nandakumar whose investigative reports against the Divine Retreat centre in the state had led to high-level inquiry and High Court intervention.
2011
In February, DRC Director Fr. George Panackal sued a Muslim businessman for defamation for alleging that he had accepted money to hush up another sex scandal (not the Fr. Mathew Thadathil one).
March 16, 2011: The Supreme Court slammed the Kerala state government for re-ordering a probe into a Catholic charismatic retreat center ordering it to scrap the probe. The lower court had acted on a petition brought by Kalarcod Venugopalan Nair. The court order meant that all charges have been dropped.
Father Panackal regretted that some groups still wanted to tarnish the center’s image despite the Supreme Court ruling.
The see-saw battle ran for five full years, 2006 to 2011. Was the Divine Retreat Centre really exonerated from all of the criminal charges? I don’t think so. There can be no smoke without a fire, the old cliché goes… and there was one helluva lot of smoke. The Church in Kerala is powerful, highly connected and wealthy. And so is the Divine Retreat Centre. The clout that they wield cannot be underestimated.
But what about the morals of the Vincentian Fathers? The Fr. Joby Kachappilly VC serial rape case clearly reveals that they haven’t any and are capable of ANYTHING. In the 2006 case, they simply got away…

NEWS REPORTS ON DEVELOPMENTS AT THE DIVINE RETREAT CENTRE:
Court Orders Probe of Largest Catholic Retreat Center
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/1005
http://konkanicatholics.blogspot.in/2006/03/divine-retreat-centre-court-to-probe.html
Thiruvananthapuram, March 13, 2006
Local Church people say they welcome a court probe into allegations against a retreat center in Kerala state.
On March 10, the Kerala High Court asked the state government to set up a special investigation team to probe allegations against the Divine Retreat Centre, considered one of the largest Catholic retreat centers in the world. Thiruvananthapuram (formerly known as Trivandrum), the Kerala capital, is 2,815 kilometers south of New Delhi.
The court acted on an anonymous letter and two compact discs it reportedly received alleging a series of crimes against the center such as murders, rape and foreign exchange violations.
Vincentian priests manage the center in Muringoor, 264 kilometers north of Thiruvananthapuram.
The court took up the case suo moto (on its own initiative) and appointed a senior police official, Vincent M. Paul, to head the probe team. Judge K. Padmanabhan Nair has asked the team to file its report within two weeks. He has also asked the government to provide support to the team.
Father George Panackal, the center’s director, says his people welcomed the court order and police probe. “The investigation can bring facts into light and help prove the allegations are baseless and motivated,” the Vincentian priest told UCA News a day after the court order.
Father Paul Thelakat, spokesperson of the Syro-Malabar Church, says the Church respects the court order. “Let the inquiry be done and truth come to light,” the priest said while speaking with UCA News. The center comes under his Oriental Catholic Church’s Ernakulam-Angamaly archdiocese.
Father Panackal said there have been several attempts in the past to “defame the institution and its leadership.” He cited the case of Crime, a monthly magazine that carried several reports against the center. “We did not initiate legal action against the magazine because we preach forgiveness and believe that truth can never be suppressed,” the center’s director explained.
Father Panackal claimed that the Divine Retreat Center is the largest retreat center in the world. It has served more than 10 million people from all over the world since 1990. The center conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year.
Explaining the origin of the retreat ministry, Father Panackal said it began in 1977 at Potta, a village six kilometers north of Muringoor. The center shifted to Muringoor in 1990, after the staff found facilities at Potta inadequate for “huge crowds.” The center now has 400 professionally trained counselors to guide people attending the retreats, in addition to about 1,200 volunteers from all over India who coordinate the center’s activities.
The center also manages several subsidiary units that serve “thousands of people” in distress, Father Panackal said. “We never close our doors to anyone who seeks our help. We provide them a family environment and care,” he added.
One such unit is St. Vincent Home, which houses 87 adults and 13 children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that usually leads to AIDS. “They experience a new life and inner healing,” the priest explained.
Another unit is Shantipuram (city of peace), which houses 450 mentally ill patients. Father Panackal said the retreat center plans to set up an institution by 2007 to cater to 2,000 mentally challenged people.
The retreat center has opened Divine De-addiction Center, which helps 150 substance abusers. Maria Shanthi Bhavan (home of peace), started in November 2004, houses 100 destitute women. Another home, started in 1990, caters to some 150 widows and abandoned wives, and 300 children.
Father Panackal said he mentioned all these activities “not to impress anybody, but to clarify our mission.” He added that he regrets the court did not hear their views before issuing the probe order.
Legal trouble for the center began eight months ago when a woman claiming to be a former employee of the retreat center told a magistrate that a priest official of the center raped and impregnated her. The woman, Mini Varghese, was been in judicial custody in a theft case when she made the complaint.
Father Panackal said a Hindu police official investigated the allegations reported them as baseless. “I told the police official that we are ready for the DNA test. But they told us that their investigations proved the complaint is a pack of lies and there is no need for DNA tests,” the priest said.
Father Panackal added that the center had not employed any Mini Varghese and that it has no priest with the name the woman mentioned. But he recalled one Mini Varghese who attending a retreat program 10 years ago. “Her father brought her and we have no knowledge about her (afterward),” he said.
Father Panackal suspects the allegations are part of a conspiracy to defame his center, a view shared by Paul Pallan, a local Christian politician.
“I have never attended the retreat at the center. But I feel the court should have given the retreat center an opportunity to hear its views,” Pallan told UCA News. He said thousands of families benefit from the center.
Kerala High Court Orders to Probe Activities of Potta Divine Retreat Centre, Vested Interest Suspected Behind Complaint

Kochi, Kerala, SAR News, March 14, 2006
The Kerala High Court directed the state government March 10 to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) to investigate the various activities of the Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) at Muringoor in Thrissur district within two weeks.
Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair, acting suo motu on an anonymous letter, ordered an investigation into the alleged criminal and social activities in DRC. The offences under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, the Foreign Exchange Management Act and scandals like rape and deaths of some persons under mysterious circumstances should be investigated, the order added.
DRC, a venture of the Vincentian Congregation established in 1990 mainly for propagating the Word of God, has earned a pride of place among the pilgrim centres of the country, a spokesman for the centre told SAR News March 11. Over 25,00,000 devotees from various parts of India and abroad have visited the centre so far.
DRC conducts prayer services, preaching, discourses and sacraments throughout the year. Besides helping the devotees in their spiritual rejuvenation and liberation from alcohol and drug addiction, the centre also conducts healing services. Barren married women too have borne children after praying at the retreat center, the spokesman added.
Though DRC was set up mainly for spiritual enrichment and retreats, it also houses a de-addiction centre, a 100-bed after-care home for AIDS patients, St. Mary’s Home for Mother and Child Care, a 150-bed general hospital, a tailoring school, Divine Printers and Publishers, Divine Voice monthly magazine, a bible college and Divine Diary Farm.
The centre’s activities are being run smoothly with a 400-strong professionally trained counselling team to initiate spiritual awakening in the devotees, along with a 1200-member volunteer force.
IGP to head probe team
The SIT investigation will be headed by Inspector General of Police Vinson M. Paul, the judge said. Mr. Paul is presently working as managing director of Police Housing Construction Corporation, Thiruvananthapuram. The Inspector General of Police is free to select the members of his team and the Director General of Police should make their services available to the team, the court added. SIT could resort to scientific methods such as polygraph test, brain mapping, DNA test, finger printing, etc.
The team should also collect from the court the three CDs and newspaper cuttings sent to the court by the author of the letter and seek further directions if necessary. SIT should file a preliminary report as to the action taken in the matter within a month from the date of the constitution of the Special Investigation Team in this regard.
The director of the Divine Retreat Centre, Father George Panackal, was not available for comments on the court order.
SIT to probe allegations against Muringoor Divine Centre
Kochi, March 15, 2006
The Kerala High Court on Friday directed the Government to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) headed by Vinson M. Paul, Inspector General of Police who is now working as Director, Kerala Police Housing Construction Corporation, to probe into various allegations, including sexual exploitation of women against the Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor in Thrissur district.
Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair also ordered that the SIT should inquire into the allegation of foreign exchange violations by the centre and unnatural death that took place in and around the centre during the past two years. He ordered that the team be constituted within two weeks.
The direction came on an anonymous letter complaining about criminal and anti-social activities taking place at the centre. After initiating suo motu proceedings on the basis of the letter, the court had received a complaint from a woman detained at the District Jail, Kozhikode, saying that a priest at the Divine Centre raped her. She was detained in the jail in connection with a theft in the centre. According to her, she had filed a complaint before the District and Sessions Judge, Kozhikode, regarding the rape. She said that the police were not investigating the case. She alleged that in the past two years, a number of dead bodies were found on the National Highway and the railway track near the centre. According to her, these deaths were not deaths due to accidents.
She, in her complaint, said that the bodies were buried in the public ground. The keeper of the burial ground had once objected to bringing dead bodies having injuries. He was found dead in mysterious circumstances within two months. Women coming to the centre were being sexually exploited by the priest at the centre, she alleged.
The court said that the investigation into the complaint of the woman was in cold storage. The attempt of the investigation officers was to exonerate the accused and make the complainant as accused.
The court ordered appointment of a senior officer in view of the allegations that senior IAS and IPS officers were associating with the functioning of the centre. The court also made it clear that it was open to the SIT to resort to scientific methods such as polygraph test, brain mapping and DNA finger printing. The preliminary report should be filed within one month.
People Rally around Catholic Retreat Center as Hindu Radicals press for its Closure
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/1496
By Jeemon Jacob, Muringoor, April 19, 2006
Thousands of people including Hindus have backed a Catholic retreat center in southern India after a Hindu front demanded its closure.
Posters put up by right-wing Hindu organizations in various places of Kerala state accuse Divine Retreat Centre of several transgressions. The groups have also held street corner meetings to condemn the Catholic center’s alleged large-scale conversion of Hindus.
The Vincentian Congregation manages the center at Muringoor, a village in central Kerala, about 2,900 kilometers south of New Delhi. According to its director, Father George Panackal, it is the largest retreat center in the world. It conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year, and has served more than 10 million people from all over the world since 1990.
Hindu radicals have opposed the Catholic center since its beginning, but they stepped up their opposition after March 10, when the Kerala High Court ordered an investigation into its activities. The Hindu groups have banded under Hindu Aikya Vedi (HAV, Hindu United Front), which has the backing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian people’s party), the main federal opposition party.
“We have demanded (the center’s) closure,” HAV organizing secretary Kummanam Rajasekharan told UCA News April 11. He alleged the court ordered the probe after it found prima facie evidence against the center.
“Our investigations have revealed that the Divine center is involved in large-scale religious conversions,” Rajasekharan added. Other allegations against the center, he added, include murder and money laundering. He said his front would continue the campaign against the retreat center until it folds up.
Father Panackal says the controversies have not affected the center’s credibility. Soon after the news of the probe spread, thousands of people visited the center to offer prayers, he said. People from various religions have “pledged their support to us,” the priest told UCA News. “I feel happy about it,” he added.
However, the HAV campaign and the court order have hurt people at the center, many of them Hindus. Santosh Kumar, who now preaches at the center, views the developments as attempts to damage the center’s reputation. “But we believe in God and his wisdom,” the 32-year-old Hindu told UCA News.
Kumar, who moved to the center in January, said he has not “come across any illegal activity here.” He said he first came to the center in 2003 after his business suffered losses. After a weeklong retreat he decided to dedicate his life to preaching the Gospel at the center. “Though I’m a Hindu by birth, today I believe in Christ and pray every day,” said Kumar, who claims he has regained all that he had lost. He currently runs a hair salon at the center and preaches whenever he finds time.
Another Hindu “deeply pained by the allegations” against the Catholic center is Shyla, a woman living with HIV. She told UCA News she came to the center when she “lost all hope in life,” as nobody was willing to help her family after news spread that her husband had tested positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which usually leads to AIDS. “But Divine Retreat Center offered us a comfortable stay and care,” continued the woman, who now lives at St. Vincent Home, which is attached to the retreat center.
Her husband and daughter also are among the 100 people with HIV at the home. “The priests and nuns here are doing a great service. It’s unfortunate that they have become the subject of wild allegations,” Shyla said.
Sudheer Antony, a Hindu convert to Catholicism, sees the controversy as the “handiwork” of agents of darkness. He said he came to the center “voluntarily” and became a Catholic when he experienced God there. “I want to tell others what I have experienced,” he added, explaining his reason for staying at the center. He dismissed the HAV protests as “ill-motivated campaigns” and said God will protect the center from forces that want to destroy it.
Margaret John, 48, who lives in a house for poor people located in the center complex, said the allegations have “shocked” the people who depend on the retreat center. She said the center offered her and two daughters shelter when her mentally ill husband disappeared a year ago. She also said she has no place to go if the center is closed.
Catholic Retreat Center Unfazed Amid Suicide and Controversies
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/2206
Thiruvananthapuram, June 23, 2006
Controversies continue to hound Asia’s largest Catholic retreat center, but an official says they view the troubles as tests from God.
The latest controversy to hit the Divine Retreat Center is the suicide of a mentally disturbed Hindu man. Vincentian priests manage the facility in Muringoor, a village in the southern Indian state of Kerala, 2,900 kilometers south of New Delhi.
According to the center’s administrator, Father Mathew Thadathil, Ramaswami Kannan, 36, jumped into a boiler June 15 and suffered burns over 80 percent of his body. The center uses the boiler, measuring 1.5 meters high and 1.5 meters in diameter, to provide hot water to thousands of people attending programs. Security guards who tried to save the man were injured.
When Kannan was retrieved from the boiler he was taken to a local hospital where he was declared dead on arrival. He had come to the center on June 11 and expressed his desire to participate in the weekly retreat program, Father Thadathil told UCA News June 19.
A local police official, K.S. Sudarshan, told UCA News the man was mentally ill and had tried to commit suicide previously. But local newspapers and some right-wing Hindu groups highlighted the suicide as further proof of the center’s “misdeeds.”
On March 10, the Kerala High Court asked the state government to set up a special team to probe anonymous allegations against the retreat center including violent crimes and foreign exchange violations. “Three months have passed since the court ordered the probe. The investigation team has not visited the center,” Father Thadathil said.
However, the 43-year-old priest acknowledged that other agencies such as the tax department and revenue intelligence directorate have conducted inquiries into the center’s finances. “We have provided all information demanded by the governmental agencies. We have nothing to hide,” he added.
“God is testing us,” the priest said, remarking on the succession of troubles. “We have no complaints against anyone. We firmly believe that God will give us the strength to pass this ordeal.”
His confrere, Father George Panackal, who directs the center, says the controversies have not affected their retreat programs. “We are running the weekly retreats in full strength,” he told UCA News.
The center conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year. More than 10,000 people from various religions attend the programs. “We will continue to serve the needy in the manner we have done earlier,” Father Panackal asserted.
Shaju John, a Catholic living near the center, believes the controversies are part of a wider conspiracy to defame the center. He recalled the troubles started two years ago when the center dismissed the caretaker of an orphanage it manages.
“Since then, the local media have painted the center in a bad light. The priests took the matter lightly, and now they are paying for it,” John, 35, told UCA News.
The local press has published a series of negative articles about the center over the past year. Right-wing Hindu groups have led campaigns against it, accusing it of mass conversions of Hindus.
The “ill-motivated media campaigns” do not affect “our team,” Father Thadathil said. “We are servants of God. We don’t take anything personally.” Many people come to the center “as the last resort,” he continued. “We are surrounded with people who live in despair. We don’t get time to think about our problems.”
Potta’s Br. Mario Joseph (Sulaiman) Kidnapped, Back Safe
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/2962
August 21, 2006: Mario Joseph, a Muslim cleric-turned-Catholic preacher was allegedly kidnapped on Saturday on his way to preach a retreat at Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu.
The incident comes in the wake of several threats to his life from Muslim fundamentalists.
According to a source requesting for prayers for his safety, Br. Mario (formerly “Moulvi Sulaiman”) who was on his way to Nagercoil for a retreat, was kidnapped at Chalakudy railway station and was since reported missing. He was later traced in Calicut and returned in a state of shock at 2am on Monday. It is believed that he was subjected to some torture.
The staff at Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor, Kerala where the preacher stays, seemed hesitant to either confirm the story or disclose any details. “Unless we speak to him we cannot confirm anything. He is back and resting in his room”, an office staff informed.
Sulaiman, one of the youngest clerics in Islam when ordained at eighteen, came to believe and accept the divinity of Christ through deeper reflections on the writings of the “Quran”, the holy book of Muslims.
Having completed his Masters in Religion and Philosophy, and a couple of courses on the Holy Bible, he now preaches Christ in seven different languages at the Divine Retreat Center, Kerala. Besides, he also teaches Philosophy at Mary Matha Major Seminary.
Police, health officials search Asia’s largest Catholic Retreat Center
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/3540
Thiruvananthapuram, UCA News, October 2, 2006
Police and health department officials in Kerala jointly searched Divine Retreat Center for two days as part of an ongoing investigation.
Police officials said a joint team spent Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at the center in the southern state of Kerala as part of a probe the Kerala High Court ordered. The court on March 10 asked the state government to set up a special team to probe allegations against the retreat center in Muringoor, a village about 2,560 kilometers south of New Delhi.
Vincentian priests manage the complex, Asia’s largest Catholic charismatic retreat center. Also considered one of the largest centers of its kind in the world, it conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year. More than 10,000 people from various religions attend the programs, which begin Sunday evening and end Saturday morning.
The court acted on an anonymous letter and two compact discs it reportedly received implicating Divine Retreat Center in a series of crimes and irregularities such as murder, rape, foreign exchange violations and running a hospital without proper license.
A 70-member police team led by Superintendent P.C. Muhajir of the Police Crime Branch visited the center at 8 a.m. on Sept. 30 and searched it for seven hours, while district medical officer Doctor Rajagopal led a health-department team of six pharmacists, two physicians and two psychiatrists. The two groups quizzed center officials and people living there. The team returned the next day to seek detailed explanations from center authorities.
The team refused to divulge its findings. Muhajir told UCA News they would “submit a detailed report about our findings to the court” and that it was improper to divulge the details earlier than that, lest it affect “the future course of investigation.”
The inspection team checked the center’s facilities for treating drug addicts and alcoholics. They examined the drugs prescribed for patients and treatment procedures. The health officials on the search team expressed concern over what they saw. “The patients are not getting proper medical care at the center,” a health official told UCA News on condition of anonymity. According to him, the health-care facilities at the center violated medical laws and practices.
According to a police official, the search teams found that the center runs a hospital in its complex and treats patients without qualified medical professionals. The retreat center had applied for a license to run a hospital in 2001, but permission has not yet been granted. The police official said the team also detected irregularities and violations of medical ethics in the treatment of patients suffering from depression and alcoholism at the center.
The center’s director, Vincentian Father George Panackal, denied that it runs an illegal hospital. “The allegations are part of the conspiracy to defame the center and its activities,” the priest told UCA News.
He acknowledged that the retreat center manages a center for mentally challenged people and a treatment center for alcoholics with federal government recognition. Their emergency dispensary cares for some of the thousands of people who attend retreats every week, he added.
According to Father Panackal, four psychiatrists give medical care and support for the mentally challenged people at the center. Other people get round-the-clock service from a resident medical officer, the priest said.
“We are serving people who live on the margins of society,” he explained. Most people they care for have been “discarded by society,” he continued, and the center does not “close our doors to them as they have nowhere to go.”
The center runs St. Vincent Home, which serves 100 people living with the human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS. Among them 13 are children. The retreat center also helps 150 substance abusers. Its Shantipuram (city of peace) facility houses 450 mentally ill patients. Maria Shanthi Bhavan (home of peace), started in November 2004, houses 100 destitute women. Another home, started in 1990, serves 150 widows and abandoned wives, and 300 children.
Legal trouble for the center began after a woman claiming to be one of its former employees told a magistrate that a priest at the center raped and impregnated her. The woman was in judicial custody for a theft case when she made the complaint. Father Panackal said a Hindu police official probed the woman’s allegations and reported them as baseless. Later the accused priest underwent a DNA test that proved the allegations as false.
Church flays police raid on Divine Retreat Centre

Thrissur, ICNS, October 4, 2006
Church leaders in India have flayed a recent raid that police officials carried out in the Divine Retreat Centre, Asia’s largest Catholic charismatic retreat centre functioning in the southern state of Kerala.
A team of police and health officials raided the Retreat Centre at Muringoor last week as per an order from the Kerala High Court. The court on March 10 had asked the state government to set up a special team to probe allegations against the Retreat Centre.
The court order came after it received an anonymous letter and two compact discs implicating the Divine Retreat Center in a series of crimes and irregularities such as murder, rape, foreign exchange violations and running a hospital without proper license.
The Vincentian priests that manage the Centre, which is Asia’s largest Catholic charismatic retreat station, have denied the police charge saying the allegations against the Centre are aimed at maligning the good works that the Church is carrying out there.
On Tuesday, Archbishop Jacob Thumkuzhy of Thrissur flayed the police raid on the Centre. “The Church in India is shocked by the police raid at the Divine Retreat Centre, that has been helping millions of people spiritually and through medical care and various humanitarian activities,” the Archbishop said in a statement. He said the Church had welcomed an investigation into the functioning of the Divine Retreat Centre, as per the High Court Order. “We are ready to be investigated as the Divine Retreat Centre has nothing hide. Its activities are an open book,” he said.
But Archbishop Thumkuzhy said what the police did last week was not investigation, but “a forcible raid” that created a fearsome atmosphere in the Centre.
“The police officials did not care to look at the documents that the Retreat Centre office bearers and priests handed over to them. Police simply wanted to create a terror atmosphere in the Centre because they have not got any evidence of misappropriation and wrong-doings from the place,” the Archbishop said.
He said it is a baseless allegation that the Centre is running a hospital and mental care centre without government registration and permission. “The Divine Retreat Centre does not run any hospitals and procure medicines. What the Centre is running is a rehabilitation centre for the sick and the needy, who are poor people,” the Archbishop pointed out.
The Divine Retreat Centre’s Director, Vincentian Father George Panackal, also denied that it runs an illegal hospital. “The allegations are part of the conspiracy to defame the center and its activities. We have nothing to hide. We are serving the poor and the needy people,” he said.
He said that that the retreat centre manages a center for mentally challenged people and a treatment center for alcoholics with federal government recognition. Their emergency dispensary cares for some of the thousands of people who attend retreats every week, he added.
The Divine Retreat Centre conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year. More than 10,000 people from various religions attend the programs, which begin Sunday evening and end Saturday morning.
Govt. not to interfere in Divine Retreat Centre: Minister
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/3590
Thiruvananthapuram, October 5, 2006
The Kerala state government has assured Church leaders and Christian politicians that it would not disturb the functioning of the renowned Divine Retreat Centre that was raided by the police last week.
The assurance came from Kerala’s Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan after a group of Christian politicians raised the raid in Divine Retreat Centre in the state assembly on Wednesday.
A team of police and health officials raided the Retreat Centre at Muringoor last week as per an order from the Kerala High Court. The court on March 10 had asked the state government to set up a special team to probe allegations against the Retreat Centre.
The court order came after it received an anonymous letter and two compact discs implicating the Divine Retreat Center in a series of crimes and irregularities such as murder, rape, foreign exchange violations and running a hospital without proper license.

On Tuesday, Archbishop Jacob Thumkuzhy of Thrissur flayed the police raid on the Centre. “The Church in India is shocked by the police raid at the Divine Retreat Centre, that has been helping millions of people spiritually and through medical care and various humanitarian activities,” the Archbishop said in a statement.
He said the Church had welcomed an investigation into the functioning of the Divine Retreat Centre, as per the High Court Order. “We are ready to be investigated as the Divine Retreat Centre has nothing hide. Its activities are an open book,” he said.
But Archbishop Thumkuzhy said what the police did last week was not investigation, but “a forcible raid” that created a fearsome atmosphere in the Centre.
On Wednesday, Kerala Congress president K M Mani raised the issue in the state Assembly, stating that the police action was unnecessary and causing disturbance at the Divine Retreat Centre.
“Everyone knows the great spiritual and humanitarian activities that the Retreat Centre has been carrying out all these years. It is shocking that the police have raided the Centre based on certain allegations that are not yet proved,” Mani told the Assembly.
Replying to the question, Home Minister Balakrishnan said that the police conducted an inspection of the Divine Centre as per the Kerala High Court orders. “I want to assure the Church leaders and everyone that the government would not do anything to disturb the functioning of the Centre,” the Minister said.
The Divine Retreat Centre’s Director, Vincentian Father George Panackal, has denied that it runs an illegal hospital. “The allegations are part of the conspiracy to defame the center and its activities. We have nothing to hide. We are serving the poor and the needy people,” he said.
He said that that the retreat centre manages a center for mentally challenged people and a treatment center for alcoholics with federal government recognition. Their emergency dispensary cares for some of the thousands of people who attend retreats every week, he added.
The Divine Retreat Centre conducts weekly retreats in six Indian languages and English throughout the year. More than 10,000 people from various religions attend the programs, which begin Sunday evening and end Saturday morning.
Probe into Christian centre on: Kerala Police http://www.teluguportal.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=17084
Thiruvananthapuram, IANS, October 10, 2006
Kerala police Tuesday maintained that the probe into the activities of Muringur Divine Retreat, a Christian faith-healing centre in the state, was still on.
Office bearers of the Divine Suvisheshamunani (‘Fellowship’), a group of well-wishers of the centre at Chalakudy in Trissur district, held a press conference here saying that the Kerala High Court had given it a clean chit.
They said police were harassing its workers who provide solace to the poor and AIDS patients. However, senior police inspector general Vincent Paul said: “I head the investigation as directed by the high court and what they said is baseless.
“There was an inspection done at the centre on Sep 30 and the case is still on. The report on that inspection would be given to the court soon,” said Paul.
Brother Peter Patarmadom, the state coordinator of the fellowship, said: “A police team had come to the centre Sep 30 and they had created a panic and scare among the inmates. They took video pictures of even AIDS patients and also questioned them. The centre comes under the Ernakulam Archdiocese of the Syro Malabar Church and is billed as Asia’s biggest Christian retreat centre. It is among the biggest faith healing centres in the country after a modest beginning in the late 1980’s. People from all religions and all parts of the country visit it to participate in prayers for a period of a few days to more than a week. The police inspection followed the court directive in March this year, seeking a first information report on allegations ranging from illegal foreign funding to criminal and other activities.
The court decided to conduct the inquiry after receiving a complaint from a former employee of the centre.
“It is sad that those who conducted the press conference are not aware that the case is not closed. We did not arrive in the centre that day in police vehicles and barring one police official not a single person was in uniform. We were accompanied by a three-member medical team who in fact did the check,” added Paul.
The fellowship members later held a demonstration before the state secretariat here.
Raid on Divine Retreat Centre Infringes On Minority Rights: Council
http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg04594.html
Thrissur, Kerala, SAR NEWS, October 11, 2006
Thrissur Archdiocesan Minority Rights Protection Council has flayed the police raid at the Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) at nearby Muringoor, September 30.
DRC, a venture of the Vincentian Congregation established in 1990mainly for propagating the Word of God, has earned a pride of place among the pilgrim centres of the country, a spokesman for the centre told SAR News, October 10. Over 2.5 million devotees from various parts of India and abroad have visited the centre so far, he added.
It conducts prayer services, preaching, discourses and sacraments throughout the year. Besides helping the devotees in their spiritual rejuvenation and liberation from alcohol and drugs addiction, the centre also conducts healing services.
Though DRC was set up mainly for spiritual enrichment and retreats, it also houses a de-addiction centre, a 100-bed after-care home for AIDS patients, Saint Mary's Home for Mother and Child Care, a 150-bed general hospital, a tailoring school, Divine Printers and Publishers, Divine Voice monthly magazine, a bible college and Divine Diary Farm, providing gainful employment to over 1,500 persons, the spokesman said.
DRC received an annual grant of Rs. 500,000 from the Central Government, Director of the Centre, Father George Panackal told SAR News October 8, while complaining on the police raid to the Opposition leader in the Kerala Assembly Oommen Chandy when he visited the centre.
In a press note issued October 9, Father John Ayyankana, secretary of the Minority Rights Protection Council, said the police raid on DRC was a blatant infringement of the fundamental and minority rights guaranteed in the Constitution of India. The policemen behaved impolitely with the women inmates of the center, as the raiding team had no women police with it, the press note alleged. The policemen rudely interrogated even the Aids patients undergoing treatment at the DRC hospital. "The raid created an atmosphere of search for 'terrorists' at the center," the note added.
The trend of encroaching on the places of religious worship of Hindus, Christians and Muslims by policemen in the name of allegations of bribe and corruption was on the increase recently, the note added. The Council has urged the government to show readiness to respect religious heads and their institutions and the directions of the law courts.
If the government attempted again to humiliate the DRC, the faithful would resist it at any cost, Father Ayyankana said.
Meanwhile, the Director of the Centre, Father Panackal told the former Chief Minister of Kerala, Oommen Chandy, at Muringoor October 8 that the raid was a deliberate attempt to insult the DRC.
The policemen had disturbed Holy Mass at the centre in the name of raid and supply of meals to the patients was considerably delayed, he said.
The Kerala High Court had directed the government to investigate the various activities of the retreat centre following an anonymous letter to the court, Panackal added.
Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair of the Kerala High Court, acting suo motu on an anonymous letter, ordered March 10 an investigation into the alleged "criminal and antisocial activities in the DRC".
Retreat Center Asks Kerala State to Stop Police Harassment
http://www.ucanews.com/2006/10/11/retreat-center-asks-kerala-state-to-stop-police-harassment/
Thiruvananthapuram, October 11, 2006
Representatives of the Divine Retreat Center have asked the Kerala state government to take steps to end what they describe as police harassment of the center staff and its residents.
“The police are harassing the inmates in the name of investigation,” Peter Pattarmadom of the center declared at a press conference Oct. 10 in the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram.
For the past year, controversies have dogged the facility in Muringoor, a village about 2,560 kilometers south of New Delhi. Vincentian priests manage the popular center, where weekly retreats it runs throughout the year each attract more than 10,000 people from various religions.
Pattarmadom said that early this month a large team of police officials created a fearful atmosphere in the center, which also houses hundreds of mentally ill and destitute people. A 70-member team including police and state health officials visited, questioned people and examined documents on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, spending seven hours at the center each day.
The investigation team “created a panic and scare among the inmates,” Pattarmadom later told UCA News. He said the police acted illegally, searching even the living quarters and bathrooms of women and questioning mentally unsound people. Media, he charged, “unfortunately” have projected the center as a place of “crime or persecution.” The misinformation campaign is “part of a conspiracy aimed at destroying the credibility of the center,” he added.
Twelve people representing the center addressed the press conference. Lawyer Philip Joseph said police who raided the center violated norms and directives of India’s Supreme Court. “We don’t keep our doors closed to anyone. Thousands of people are living at the center irrespective of caste or religion,” he told the media gathering.
The spokespeople explained that the center offers shelter for more than 10,000 people in different houses meant for people who are mentally ill, orphaned, sick, destitute and drug-addicted. They insisted it does not run a hospital but houses these people because they have no place to go.
The investigation started following a March 10 directive of the Kerala High Court. The court was acting on an anonymous letter and two compact discs it reportedly received that implicated the center in a series of crimes and irregularities including murder, rape, foreign exchange violations and running a hospital without a proper license. Last year a woman claiming to be a former employee of the retreat center told a magistrate that a priest official of the center raped and impregnated her. The woman, Mini Varghese, was in police custody in a theft case when she made the complaint.
The priest willingly underwent a DNA test and it proved the allegation of the woman “baseless,” Pattarmadom told the press conference. He cited such inquiries as part of a plan to harass the center.
However, Inspector General of Police Vincent M. Paul, who is in charge of the probe ordered by the High Court, denied the allegations of police harassment. He said it was conducted following the court directions. “We will be submitting our report soon,” Paul told UCA News on Oct. 10.
Except for one uniformed police officer, all others who entered the center for investigation were in civilian dress, he said. “The inspection team was accompanied by a medical team. We never harassed anybody there. We checked the facilities and talked to people and examined the medical care offered at the center,” Paul explained. Meanwhile, opposition leader and former state chief minister Oommen Chandy, an Orthodox Christian, released to the media an Oct. 10 letter in which he demanded an explanation from the government. The letter said police made the investigation “a big show.” He requested the home minister of the ruling communist alliance to visit the center to understand the “ground realities.”
“I’ve visited the center and have great appreciation for its services,” Chandy told UCA News Oct. 10.
That same day about 200 people held a prayer meeting for the center’s cause in front of the state legislature. Auxiliary Bishop Joshua Mar Ignathiose of Trivandrum Syro-Malankara archdiocese addressed the group.
The Syro-Malankara Church, like the larger Syro-Malabar Church, is an Oriental Catholic rite based in Kerala. They and the Latin-rite, largest of the three, make up the Indian Catholic Church.
STATEMENT ISSUED IN DEFENSE OF THE CENTRE
Cardinal Varkey on Divine Retreat Centre Investigations
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/3871
October 11/November 4, 2006
Statement by His Eminence Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil
Major Archbishop Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese
The Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor shelters countless distressed people in deep misery who flock together week after week seeking divine help. Held in high esteem both in the Church as well as in society. This Retreat Centre had a humble beginning under the ministries of a few committed Vincentian priests who have fully devoted their lives to be at the service of all men and women who are plunged in deep misery and to preach the Good News of the Gospel. It is a Centre of healing and relief for the mentally sick and those abandoned by their own dear ones. The Good News of the Gospel preached there is the Word of Jesus Christ who came “To proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
Observing the change of life effected in the lives of people through this Retreat Centre, people of different walks of life irrespective of caste or creed, are being attracted to Divine. Through the ministry of God’s Word preached at this Retreat Centre, countless people addicted to alcohol and narcotics have reformed their lives and have resumed their responsibilities in their homes. Through the witness of these people, the renown of the Divine Retreat Centre has spread throughout Kerala and to the rest of the world. As a result right now, the Ministry of the Word is carried out in Malayalam, English, Kannada, Hindi, Konkani, Telugu, and Tamil languages in Divine Retreat Centre each week.
Divine Retreat Centre is a House of Refuge for the broken, the afflicted, the unwanted mental patients and the AIDS victims ostracized by society. Thousands of patients come here to pray for their healing. A large number of people get healings because of their faith. Listening to God’s Word of Love, people give up their evil ways of life and reform themselves – bringing peace and joy to society. Retreat Centres of this kind are lighthouses to those who stray from the right path in the journey of life.
That the powers of evil fight relentlessly against those who do good to society is not an isolated instance in the history of mankind. The unending flow of thousands of people to Divine Retreat Centre for their spiritual awakening is not being relished by a microscopic minority. They conspire and devise plans to malign this Retreat Centre among the public. At the beginning, they brought charges against the priests who serve at this Retreat Centre. Although there were court cases, the doors of the Divine Retreat Centre were left open for all. Anyone could at any time step in. At this Retreat Centre, to my knowledge, nothing is done secretly or under cover of concealment. That is precisely why when the Honourable Court ordered an inquiry, the Director of Divine Retreat Centre boldly declared that they would fully cooperate with the inquiry.
The Police Inquiry in a Centre of Prayer and Worship should have been conducted in a decent and respectable manner. Instead of observing and getting to know the ground realities, it is deplorable that a police investigation trespassing all the limits of decency and respectability was carried out. The media projection of the recent police investigation at the Divine Retreat Centre is itself despicable.
Anybody could at any time visit the quarters of AIDS victims and those thrown out from the mainstream of society. An inquiry moved by prejudices and misleading propaganda is not likely to be impartial and objective. The police action has cut deep wounds in the minds of millions of people who have availed themselves of the service of this Retreat Centre and who hold Divine in high esteem. The Police as well as the Government should have encouraged the works of mercy being carried out by religious groups and voluntary associations of this country. It is also the responsibility of the Government to care for the poor and the sick and to rehabilitate them. To show respect and decency to religious groups is a basic principle of democracy. Those responsible for it should see that justice is done to everybody. Because the Christians are tolerant, it is cruel and inhumane to conclude that anything can be done to them. The Police have dishonoured not only the religious community associated with the Divine Retreat Centre but also all those who devote themselves day and night for the works of mercy at this Retreat Centre. The Government and the Home Minister are urgently called upon to correct the police excesses and to take the necessary steps not to repeat such unwarranted actions in future.

Stop police action in religious institutions: Union Minister
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/3709
http://www.cbci.in/newsread.asp?nid=3931
Changanaserry, October 16, 2006
Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi has asked the Kerala state government to stop the police excesses in religious institutions. Accusing the Left parties-run Kerala government of using the language of threat against religious institutions, Ravi said police action and uncivilized acts against meditation and retreat centers belonging to any faith do not bode well for any modern society.
The police had inspected the retreat centre, under the Ernakulam Archdiocese of the Syro Malabar Church, on September 30 following a High Court order to assess its functioning.
The court order came after it received an anonymous letter and two compact discs implicating the Divine Retreat Centre in a series of crimes and irregularities such as murder, rape, foreign exchange violations and running a hospital without proper license.
The Vincentian priests that manage the Centre, which is Asia’s largest Catholic charismatic retreat station, have denied the police charge saying the allegations against the Centre are aimed at maligning the good works that the Church is carrying out there.
Referring to the police raid, the Central Minister said meditation centers are where one gets peace of mind and human goodness. “Each and everyone in the country has the constitutional and democratic right to follow his conviction and faith. None has the right to insult or torture religious faithful,” Ravi said.
The Minister was in Changanaserry to inaugurate the golden jubilee celebrations of the Changanaserry Archdiocese.
Ravi said when the governments in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan tried to bring in a new legislation to choke the minorities in the name of alleged conversion, the Governors of the respective states returned it.
“The Christian community had been into many trials and tribulations in the past 2000 years. Their strength was evident and they cannot be subjugated,” he said.
The Minister said the Changanaserry Archdiocese is one of the Catholic dioceses which can definitely claim credit for the yeomen service provided in the fields of education and social service.
Presiding over the function, Major Archbishop Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil said that the contributions of the Changanaserry Archdiocese in various sectors in the past 50 years was significant and amazing.
Opposition walks out of Kerala Assembly
http://www.canadaupdates.com/news/opposition_walks_out_of_kerala_assembly-24822.html
Thiruvananthapuram, IANS, October 17, 2006
The opposition Tuesday walked out of the Kerala Assembly after its demand that Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan visit the Muringur Divine Retreat, a Christian faith-healing centre in the state, was turned down. The opposition wanted the minister to visit the centre because the police allegedly conducted a raid violating all norms last month. Raising the issue, former law minister K.M. Mani said the police violated norms in the Criminal Procedure Code and harassed HIV/AIDS patients. “A priest who is also director of the centre was held under wrongful confinement and the mentally challenged patients undergoing treatment were also dealt with cruelly,” said Mani.
Replying to these charges by the former minister, Balakrishnan denied any atrocities by the police and said they were only investigating after the Kerala High Court suo motu decided to inquire into the alleged illegal activities in the centre and constituted a police team led by Inspector General of Police Vincent M. Paul for the purpose. “I took legal opinion about my visit and I was advised that since the issue is subjudice it wouldn’t be proper for me to visit the centre. But now that the issue has been raised I will again discuss this issue. Please don’t make this a political issue,” he said.
Unhappy with the reply, Leader of Opposition Oommen Chandy said it was most unfortunate that the minister blamed the opposition for making the issue a political one. “Several legislators from your front visited the centre after the police raid. If it was a normal investigation by the police, would your people have visited the centre? We demand that you should say you (Balakrishnan) would visit the centre now,” said Chandy. With the home minister not committing to this, an angry opposition stormed out of the assembly.
The centre comes under the Ernakulam Archdiocese of the Syro Malabar Church and is billed as Asia’s biggest Christian retreat centre. It is among the biggest faith healing centres in the country after a modest beginning in the late 1980’s. People from all religions and all parts of the country visit it to participate in the prayers. The police inspection followed the court directive in March seeking a first information report on allegations ranging from illegal foreign funding to criminal and other activities. The court decided to conduct the inquiry after receiving a complaint from a former employee of the centre. Meanwhile the court Monday asked the probe team to submit the report in a sealed cover before Nov 17 – the day fixed by the court to make its assessment.
STATEMENT ISSUED IN DEFENSE OF THE CENTRE
Million hearts retain the true picture of Divine Retreat Centre
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/3872
http://www.drcm.org/Statement.asp
By Fr. George Panackal VC, Director, Divine Retreat Centre – Malayalam programmes, November 4, 2006
I write this in exceptional circumstances. On the 10th of March 2006, the Honourable High Court of Kerala authorized a police officer to make a detailed probe into the activities of Divine Retreat Centre based on certain allegations levelled against the Centre. You might have come to know of it from the newspapers. I too came to know about this through the media. The 10 million people who have been to Divine Retreat Centre for prayers and retreats over the past eighteen years retain in their hearts a very vivid picture of the Centre’s spiritual integrity. However, the picture projected by certain biased sections of the media was very different and it pains me very deeply – just as it pains the heart of all those who have been to this Centre and have undoubtedly been spiritually blessed.
The question arising in the minds of the people is why the true picture of Divine Retreat Centre was not presented in the media as well as before the Honourable High Court. The answer to this is that we did not have the fair opportunity to enjoy the right of an Indian citizen to present the real image of the Divine Retreat Centre before the court. The court took up the case suo motu (on its own initiative) and has issued the order without prior notice. Nevertheless, we have complete confidence and faith in all the judicial proceedings of the court and we welcome this inquiry with open arms.
All the 10 million people who have been to the Retreat Centre are fully aware of what the Retreat Centre is all about and of the spiritual integrity of the priests here. We have about 2000 permanent inmates in the Divine Retreat Centre who found shelter in our Centre when they were faced with abandonment, homelessness and dire financial crisis. Besides, we have about 100 AIDS patients, about 100 aged and destitute people, 500 mentally challenged, and 300 orphan children cared for by the Centre with love and compassion.
My brethren, Divine Retreat Centre was the first in Kerala to take the initiative to accept, provide shelter, and care for AIDS patients till the very end of their lives. I recall in the early days of our AIDS Home how the court itself in one of its rulings, requested our assistance, and sent an AIDS patient to be cared for at the Divine Retreat Centre.
Unfortunately, it is not the true picture of these meritorious works of mercy carried out in Divine that was portrayed in the newspapers last Saturday (11 March 2006). We are saddened at this. Despite the wrong image given by certain sections of the media, we firmly believe that it cannot erase the true picture from the hearts of the 10 million people. We are very sure of that. I know you have great pain in your hearts. I gratefully remember all those who have telephoned us and visited us to express their support and solidarity and all those who prayed for us during this time of trial. Along with this, I would like to mention a few more things.
For quite some time, certain misguided people have been trying to tarnish the good name of Fr. Mathew Thadathil.
He is a holy and devout priest with outstanding capabilities and has been serving along with me in this centre for the last seven years. Father Mathew Thadathil belongs to the Vincentian Congregation and is entrusted with the administrative responsibility in Divine Retreat Centre, solely due to his integrity. His preaching and prayers have led many to a true conversion of their hearts. In fact the Circle Inspector of Chalakudy, known for his investigative ability and impeccable character had investigated the same charge that has been raised by the media now and had arrived at the conclusion that there was no truth at all in the allegations against Fr. Mathew and that the complaint was false. We do not have any grievance against the court for ordering a fresh investigation of this case. We welcome this inquiry hoping once and for all to prove the innocence of this priest. Therefore, even though there is a court order, I know, there will be no doubts about the integrity of the Centre and its activities in the hearts of those who have made retreats here and those who are close to us. I assure the general public and all the 10 million people who have been to our Centre, and also to those who are planning to come to our Retreat Centre – Fr. Mathew is absolutely innocent.
My brethren, some people may wonder how such extensive works of charity can be undertaken in our State of Kerala without foreign funding. However, the Centre took the initiative and set an example for the world to undertake charitable works without any foreign funds. The work that is done here is possible because many ordinary people from all walks of life share their limited resources with us through individual contributions. I am sure that anyone who has attended retreats in our Centre will not have any misunderstanding on this issue. Funding is a problem but our dependence is on God, and the very truth is that right now we have a debt of about 30 million rupees with the banks. Our accounts are open and transparent and we welcome any person to come and check them to clear any doubts they may have on this matter.
Many government officials have attended retreats in our Centre. After the retreats, several of them have joined hands with us to pray for and fight against bribery, corruption and all forms of injustice. They receive inspiration for this from the Centre and have gone on to do a lot of good in our society and they encourage each other by coming together in prayer fellowships. You would have learnt about this from factual newspaper reports. The gates of Divine Retreat Centre are always open to anyone wanting to attend the retreats. All are welcome even if they are not able to pay the registration fees. For the past eighteen years, Divine Retreat Centre has established itself as a haven of solace and hope for all those who are hurting and for many who were even contemplating suicide. Dr. Sukumar Azhikode, the renowned writer, has stated this fact publicly after having visited this centre.
We are aware of the fact that when we work against the evils in society and engage ourselves in good works, it is normal to have many enemies. We do not consider anyone as an enemy. The reason is that in the past, those who were initially against us have eventually become allies and co-workers of Divine Retreat Centre. Therefore, we do not see those who are working against us presently as our enemies; instead, we believe that they are the future allies and benefactors of this House of God. We pray and have this great expectation and hope in our hearts that we will, one day, be working together with them for the betterment of the poor, the downtrodden and the under-privileged.
The Divine Retreat Centre has been a home for the 10 million people who have made weekly residential retreats here and it will continue to be a home to them. We warmly welcome all those who were exposed to the recent media reports, to visit the Centre to experience the same Divine consolation and strength which more than 10 million of people have already experienced.
I sincerely request that those who have been to the Retreat Centre will continue to treasure in their hearts the real and true image of the Divine Retreat Centre.

STATEMENT ISSUED IN DEFENSE OF THE CENTRE
The Truth in (sic) the recent happenings at Divine
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/3875
By Fr. Augustine Vallooran VC, Director – English and other language retreats, October 23/November 4, 2006
Recently, Divine Retreat Centre has been subjected to allegations perpetuated by certain communal forces that have been regularly handing out false news and claims against us to the mass media. I would like to share with everyone who loves us, the truth of what has actually been happening in Divine recently.
On 10 March 2006, the Honourable High Court of Kerala, upon receiving an anonymous letter and 2 CDs containing false allegations against Divine Retreat Centre, took up the case suo motu (on its own initiative) and ordered an inquiry into the affairs of our Retreat Centre. A Special Investigation Team headed by the IG of Police, Winson M. Paul, was formed to find out whether there was any truth in these allegations. We, at Divine Retreat Centre, had wholeheartedly welcomed this investigation and have been giving it our full cooperation. However, it is our firm belief that after carrying out the police investigation for so many months and spending a very huge amount of public money, the Investigation team could not find anything in Divine that was in violation of any laws or justice. Yet, certain things have been happening recently which have made us question whether Divine is being subjected to a violation of our basic rights as citizens of India – where everyone is guaranteed true and unbiased justice.
The humiliating manner in which the police investigation was carried out in the Charitable Homes of Divine Retreat Centre on 30 September and 1 October 2006 seem to strongly indicate that it is in the interest of the Investigation team to find out something incriminating against Divine Retreat Centre. In fact, the High Court had only given the directive to the Special Investigation team to submit a report after the Police inquiry to ascertain if there was any truth in the original allegations made. (Rev. Fr. George Panackal’s March 2006 comments in accompanying mail).
Nobody comes to Divine Retreat Centre for medical treatment and we do not run illegal hospitals here. Divine is primarily a Centre of Prayer. Millions of people have come here to have a spiritual experience and get solace for all the problems they face in their lives. We have many volunteers who choose to stay on to serve in Divine Retreat Centre because of the joy of their spiritual experience. However, there are those who come to Divine who have severe alcoholic problems and need to be in a treatment centre. These people are admitted to our De-Addiction Centre. Likewise, Divine runs Care Centres and Homes for AIDS patients, mentally challenged people, abandoned women and their children and terminally ill and elderly people.
We have nothing to hide. We are committed in serving the poor and the needy people irrespective of caste and religion – especially those who are ostracized by their families and societies and who have no other place to live in dignity. Divine Retreat Centre manages a Care Centre for Mentally Challenged people and a Treatment Centre for Alcoholics with federal government recognition. Our Retreat Centre’s Emergency Dispensary cares for some of the thousands of people who attend our retreats every week that are held in English and in six Indian languages.
In the past few weeks, after the latest police investigation activity, wrong reports have been published in many major media sources. One allegation is that that there are no qualified medical personnel in Divine Retreat Centre. I would like to reassure all our friends and benefactors of Divine that this is certainly not true.
There is 1 resident medical officer, 4 clinical psychiatrists, 1 general physician, 1 Homeopathy doctor, 2 Ayurvedic doctors, registered pharmacists and several qualified nurses serving at the Care Centres and Homes run by our Retreat Centre. Despite our best efforts, the investigating authorities were unwilling to listen to our explanations or to look at any of the available documents.
Many of our mentally challenged residents, AIDS patients and recovering addicts are unable to personally ensure taking the correct amount of medication that are prescribed to them by qualified doctors from surrounding hospitals, Thus, we have undertaken this important care initiative to provide them with the correct daily dosage.
There was no justifiable cause for the rough and insensitive behaviour of the Police Investigation team against the more than 1,000 residents of our Care Centres and Homes. Their basic human rights were violated and they did not get the fair justice that they are entitled to. I would like to share with you some of the many public acts of support that we have received after this recent Police Investigation:
Our Archbishop, His Eminence Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, Major Archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese, made a personal visit to our Retreat Centre on 11 October 2006 to provide his unwavering support to all of us in Divine. He also personally addressed our Malayalam retreatants about the recent police investigation. His Eminence Cardinal Varkey declared, “That the powers of evil fight relentlessly against those who do good to society is not an isolated instance in the history of mankind. The unending flow of thousands of people to Divine Retreat Centre for their spiritual awakening is not being relished by a microscopic minority. They conspire and devise plans to malign this Retreat Centre among the public.”
In a statement, Archbishop Jacob Thoomkuzhy of Thrissur, strongly criticized the recent Police investigation. “The Church in India is shocked by the police investigation at the Divine Retreat Centre, that has been helping millions of people spiritually and through medical care and various humanitarian activities. This Centre has given refuge and care to many helpless and destitute sick people. It was atrocious on the part of the police to deal with them in an unbecoming manner.”
Most Rev. James Pazhayattil, Bishop of Irinjalakuda stated, “The Government should have encouraged and helped the many charitable works carried out by Divine Retreat Centre. What has happened has caused great grief to the Christian community and all men of goodwill.”
Mr. K. M. Mani, the State’s ex-Revenue Minister, who is currently Member of Legislative Assembly for Palai Constituency and Chairman of the Kerala Congress Party, visited our Centre on 3 October 2006. He stated, “Divine Retreat Centre has become an oasis for the poor, sick people abandoned by medical science and a home of refuge for the mentally challenged people. I always come here with a sense of awe for the magnificent works of compassion and mercy. It is indeed a sacred place where the poor and sick are taken care of – we see the Face of God in them. The Police should have respected the sanctity and holiness of this House of God.”
Mr. John Kachiramattam, President of Kerala Catholics Federation stated, “Certain fundamental and communal forces have been working against the Divine Retreat Centre for some time now. The Police should have been aware of this and should have given full protection and encouragement to the manifold works of mercy carried out by the Retreat Centre. I want to assure the Fathers of Divine Retreat Centre that the Christian community of Kerala stand firmly by them.”
Mr. Thomas Kandathil, Mr. Sebastian Vadassery, Adv. Charly Paul and Adv. Jacob Mundackal, leaders of the All Kerala Catholic Congress, issued a joint statement. “The orphan children picked up from the street gutters and the poor widows despised by families, AIDS patients ostracized by society, and the mental patients who are considered a threat and burden to their families are accepted with open arms and cared for by Divine Retreat Centre. There is the Hindu and Muslim people of all caste and communities who are also cared for without any discrimination. In fact, the Police should have provided protection for all these helpless people instead of frightening them.”
We, the Fathers at Divine Retreat Centre, hope that such an untoward incident will never be repeated again. Divine is a House of God and we will continue to love and care for all the poor and needy people who have turned to us for help. We are extremely grateful and thankful for the prompt and strong support of our Archbishop, Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese, other Bishops and Church authorities, Political leaders, people of high moral standing in our society and Divine’s numerous friends and benefactors – in India and all over the world – who have contacted us and visited our Centre. Many have spoken up publicly for all the works of Divine and are calling for a fair and impartial police investigation. We ask for your fervent prayers for truth and justice to prevail. If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)

STATEMENT ISSUED IN DEFENSE OF THE CENTRE
Leader sees motives in raid at charismatic centre
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/4098

Kochi, (ICNS), November 21, 2006
The attitude of the police who raided the Divine Retreat Centre in Kerala indicates that it was done to malign the centre, says Cyril John, chairman of the National Service Team of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in India.
The action was an infringement of the human and minority rights and the freedom of worship, he said in a letter sent to Bishops and other Church leaders in India. The following is the full text of his letter:
Your Eminence/Your Grace/Leaders in the CCR,
As you are aware, the Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor, Kerala, run by the Vincentian Congregation, is the largest retreat center in the world where retreats are preached in seven languages simultaneously, viz. in Malayalam, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Konkani. People of all faiths with incurable diseases, addicted to alcoholism, victims of social evils and those with broken families have been flocking to this place seeking solace, healing and reconciliation. On an average 8,000 people converge for the retreats every week and the number rises to about 30,000 during holiday season. In the last sixteen years, more than sixty lakh people have benefited by the services conducted by this Centre.
In addition to preaching, the Divine Retreat Centre is also a Home of Love where there are about 3,000 “least of the brethren” of Jesus being taken care of. St. Mary’s Home takes care of destitute mothers and children, the De-Addiction Centre looks after those addicted to alcohol and drugs, St Vincent’s Home houses the AIDS patients, the Divine Mercy Home has elderly men and women abandoned by their families and the Divine Care Centre takes care of the mentally ill.
You may be aware of certain unfortunate happening and false news reports surrounding the Divine Retreat Centre in the recent times. On the basis of an anonymous letter and two CDs, the Hon’ble Kerala High Court had suo motu ordered an enquiry into all the activities of the Divine Retreat Centre on 10th March, 2006. A Special Investigation Team headed by the IG of Police was constituted to enquire into the matter. When the case came up for hearing, the Director General of Prosecutions had argued that investigation had been conducted properly and “there is no merit in the complaints of the de-facto complainant… It is also argued that the other allegations leveled against the Centre are too vague and general and no further action is necessary regarding those allegations”. In spite of this, on 30th September and 1st October, 2006, a large contingent of police in seven large vehicles and a team of doctors reached the Divine Retreat Centre, took control and raided the Centre. The police obstructed the celebration of the Eucharist, Eucharistic adoration, etc. and misbehaved with the women and the sick. The police surrounded Fr George Panackal, Director of the Centre and prevented him from getting in touch with the Provincial of the Congregation and the members of the Church hierarchy.
The raid conducted and the attitude of the police team indicate that it was done with the motive of maligning the good and humanitarian works being carried on by the Divine Retreat Centre. The action was an infringement of the human and minority rights and the freedom of worship. It has have hurt the sentiments of all right thinking people in the country and have also attracted wide protests from all sections. It is also distressing to find that both the print and electronic media have been trying to blow up the events beyond proportion. As a result of this, there are false reports being spread among the people and many have approached the National Service Team of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in India seeking clarification on the reports. To clarify the misgivings, an article, “The truth in the recent happening at Divine” by Fr Augustine Vallooran VC has been published in the December, 2006 issue of Charisindia. I am also enclosing a message from His Eminence Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil C.Ss.R, Major Archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly, on the issue for your kind perusal.
I have personally visited the Divine Retreat Centre a number of times and can vouch for the good work being carried on by the Centre. I would like to state categorically that the allegations are baseless and biased. Therefore, we need to stand united against the forces of evil and express our solidarity and support to the Divine Retreat Centre at this time so that the wonderful mission undertaken by the Centre could be carried on uninterruptedly. They also need our prayer support at this juncture of pain and turmoil. In view of the maligning reports being circulated by the media, it is also important that we propagate the truth regarding the happenings to remove misunderstandings from the minds of the public. I am writing to Your Eminence/Grace to seek your kind support and prayers for the Divine Retreat Centre and their ministry at this juncture of trial. I am sure that the Divine Retreat Centre and the Catholic Charismatic Renewal in general will continue to enjoy your patronage and support.
I have total confidence in commending this whole situation to the loving intercession of Our Blessed Mother.
Seeking your blessings and assuring our prayers,
Yours obediently in Christ,
Cyril John, Chairman

CPI(M) Leader Visits Divine Retreat Centre following Controversy
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/4635
By John Mary, Thiruvananthapuram, January 21, 2007
The Kerala secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Pinarayi Vijayan, has created a flutter by visiting a Christian retreat centre, which is being probed by the police on the orders of the High Court. Vijayan reached the Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor in Thrissur yesterday morning, went round the facilities and addressed a press conference, blaming the police for crossing the limits and praising the centre for carrying out an exemplary humanitarian service.
The visit, the first by a State secretary of the CPM, was extensively covered by the media, his moments with the clergy, with Aids victims and savoring refreshments.
The Divine Retreat Centre of the Vincentian Congregation runs homes for the destitute, drug addicts, AIDS patients and the mentally handicapped. Its main attraction are the meditation sessions. On average, 8,000 people attend retreats at the centre every week, and the number rises to about 30,000 during holiday seasons. In the last 16 years, more than six million people have benefited by the services at the centre.
Vijayan, an atheist, said he could not comment on the retreat and other spiritual pursuits of the centre. I’m unable to comment on that aspect. But I can tell you that many people who have stayed here have reported on their enriching experience.
But what he said later had raised questions over the real purpose of his visit.
The police, who had crossed all borders, enjoyed the protection of the High Court. The court gave them precise directions. The police were asked to report to the court, not the state government, said Vijayan.
Vijayan also pointed out that the chief investigating officer, Inspector-General Winson Paul, was fixed by the court and not by the state government.
Vijayan’s belated sense of injustice and charges of police excesses are a subtext of the campaign against the judiciary, the latest provocation being the judgment in the multi-billion SNC Lavalin power scam. Vijayan, who wanted the Lavalin probe to be conducted by the state vigilance wing, suffered a personal embarrassment when the High Court last week asked the Federally-controlled Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the probe.
State Congress president Ramesh Chennithala flayed the attack on the judiciary, first by the pro-Left student leaders after judges quashed parts of the Kerala Professional College Act and now the CPM State secretary himself.
Vijayan’s secular gesture would have been well appreciated if his government had appealed against the court order against the divine centre and his party had adopted been more accommodative towards the Congress-led Opposition that raised the issue in the Assembly. The belated expression of sympathy has cast a shadow on the real intent.
Chandy asks home minister to visit Christian centre
http://www.nerve.in/news:25350031941
Kannur (Kerala), IANS, January 27, 2007
Former Kerala chief minister Oommen Chandy Saturday demanded that state Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan visit a Christian faith healing centre near Trissur that is under a cloud over allegations of criminal activities and receipt of foreign funds. Replying to questions on the party’s stand over the police action on the Muringur Divine Retreat Centre, he said: ‘The police did a lot of things beyond their brief, which has deeply hurt several AIDS patients living a secluded life in the centre. This is why we have asked Balakrishnan to visit it.’
The Kerala High Court had Thursday allowed the state police to go ahead with a probe on the alleged irregularities at the centre.
‘We have not made any adverse remarks on the court giving the go-ahead for a probe. It was CPI-M (Communist Party of India-Marxist) state secretary who after visiting the centre had lashed out at the court for ordering a probe,’ Chandy told reporters here.
Justice R. Basanth on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by the centre director Father George Panackal asking the court to restrain the police from going ahead with a probe.
Acting on various complaints, the court had in March last year asked Inspector General of Police Vincent Paul to submit a report on the allegations about criminal activities at the centre.
The centre, billed as Asia’s biggest, was subjected to a surprise inspection by a joint team of police and state health department officials in September. The inspection detected irregularities in the manner in which the centre was treating a large number of patients suffering from depression and alcoholism. Various state politicians raised a hue and cry after police raided the centre, and the opposition under Chandy even walked out of the assembly protesting the police action.
Runaway Thief Rupesh D’Mello caught at Divine Retreat Centre
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/4771
http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-luck-runs-out-for-runaway-thief-1078226
By Ashwin Aghor, DNA Mumbai, February 6, 2007
Officers from Bhayander police station proved that the arms of the law are very long. A vehicle thief who had escaped from police custody on January 29 was finally tracked down in a village near Cochin and arrested and brought back to Bhayander on Monday. Twenty-two year old Rupesh D’Mello, an alleged thief, cannot believe his luck. He managed to hoodwink the police and escaped from custody only to be tracked down by them within a week.
D’Mello was caught by the Manikpur police station at Thane rural on January 22 on charges of vehicle theft. Based on his interrogation, the police claimed to have solved several cases of vehicle thefts in Santa Cruz, Goregaon, Borivili and Bhayander. According to the police, at least 16 motorcycles, two auto rickshaws and two cars were recovered after his arrest. His capture was so crucial for the police force that the superintendent of police, Thane (Rural) Archana Tyagi even rewarded Rs 10,000 to the cops who were responsible for D’Mello’s arrest.
On January 28, D’Mello was handed over to the Bhayander police for interrogation in another vehicle theft case. While in police lock-up, D’Mello pretended to have a terrible pain in his stomach on January 29. The constable on duty immediately opened the door of the lock-up to take him to the toilet.
On his way to the lock-up, D’Mello managed to deceive his escorts and ran away. Immediately, the Thane (Rural) police got into action and launched a massive manhunt.
As part of the manhunt, police started monitoring phone calls made by D’Mello’s relatives in Bhayander. D’Mello’s luck ran out when on February 4, he called his relative in Bhayander and the police traced his call to Retreat Divine Centre, a de-addiction centre situated in Chalakudy village, 22 kilometers from Cochin in Kerala. A team of police officers from Bhayander police station immediately went to Cochin and arrested him.
Kerala Police finds irregularities in Christian prayer centre

http://www.nerve.in/news:25350044503
Koratty (Kerala), IANS, April 30, 2007
Police Monday filed a formal complaint against a leading Christian faith-healing centre in Kerala on the basis of the findings of a court-directed probe into allegations of criminal activities there.
The court-appointed special investigation team filed a first information report (FIR) at the police station here indicting Fr George Panackal, director of the Muringur Divine Retreat Centre near Trissur district, and 10 other members of the staff, including nuns, confirmed Inspector General of Police Vincent Paul.
“In order to go ahead with the investigation an FIR is required and we have filed it. The director and 10 others have been named in the FIR,” Paul told IANS.
Acting on various complaints, the Kerala High Court had in March last year asked Paul to submit a report on allegations about criminal activities going on at the centre and irregularities in foreign funds received by it.
The centre, billed as Asia’s biggest of its kind, was subjected to a surprise inspection by a joint team of police and state health department officials in September. The inspection detected irregularities in the manner in which the centre was treating a large number of patients suffering from depression and alcoholism. Following the scrutiny, politicians in the state, cutting across the party lines, raised a hue and cry while Panackal urged the court to stop the inspections.
Justice R. Basanth dismissed the petition and ruled that the court has the right to order inspections even if it is a place of worship or prayer.
Christian retreat centre: Shocking revelations by probe team
May 1, 2007
The High Court-appointed special police team, which probed the functioning of the Christian retreat centre in Kochi, has filed a preliminary report citing serious charges against the centre. After six-month-long investigation the special team has registered a case against the director Father George Panackal and eight other office-bearers of the centre. They have been booked under various charges including forceful confinement, causing hurt by poison, cheating and destroying evidences.
The team has also found that during 1996-2006 as many as 900 odd mysterious deaths took place at the centre and on many occasions bodies were disposed without informing the police. The documents were allegedly forged to make it appear natural deaths, the FIR said demanding a detailed probe into these deaths.
Claimed to be the largest Catholic healing centre in the world, the Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor near Kochi, was in news recently after one of the devotees sent an anonymous letter to the High Court. The letter reportedly carried serious charges including sexual harassment, forceful confinement and murder charges against the centre. Soon the court suo motu constituted a high-level team headed by Inspector General of Police Vincent M Paul to inquire into the charges.
The probe team found that several persons were locked in cells in the name of healing. Persons showing violent signs were often injected with unknown drugs by untrained hands. Besides the FIR filed at Koratty police station, the team has also filed a report before the first class judicial magistrate. The team has also recommended a probe into the foreign funding of the healing centre.
When the police team raided the Divine Centre last year it had created a big furore in the state. The ruling CPM and opposition Congress had condemned it in strongest terms. But the High Court had given a green signal to the probe team. The aggrieved Divine centre had approached the apex court but it upheld the HC order. According to the website of the centre around one crore believers visited the ashram in last ten years.
BJP demands closure of controversial Kerala prayer centre
http://www.nerve.in/news:25350044753
Kannur (Kerala), IANS, May 2, 2007
The Kerala unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Wednesday demanded immediate closure of a Christian prayer centre near Trissur district against which police have filed a case following complaint of irregularities by a court-appointed investigation team.
‘Both the Left and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) are supporting the activities of the prayer centre. We demand the centre be closed down because the police have found a lot of irregularities. This is the Noida of Kerala,’ BJP state president P.K. Krishna Das told reporters here.
It was on Monday that the special investigating team had filed a formal complaint against the Muringur Divine Retreat Centre on the basis of the findings of a court-directed probe into allegations of criminal activities there, including unnatural deaths.
The court-appointed special investigation team filed a complaint with the police station here indicting Fr George Panackal, director of the centre, and 10 other members of the staff, including nuns.
Acting on various complaints, the Kerala High Court had in March 2006 asked Inspector General of Police Vincent M. Paul to submit a report on allegations about criminal activities going on at the divine centre and irregularities in foreign funds received by it.
Speaking to the press, Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan said that the Communist Party of India-Marxist government has been watching the developments after the high court intervened into the matter.
‘We will wait because right now this is being probed directly by the high court,’ said Achuthanandan.
Meanwhile, the opposition UDF that met Wednesday said they were not against the ongoing probe into the centre.
‘All what we are against was the manner in which the investigating police team made a furore at the time of the investigation. The centre houses a lot of patients and they were badly treated by the police,’ UDF convenor P.P. Thankachen told reporters in Thiruvananthapuram.
The centre, billed as Asia’s biggest of its kind, was subjected to a surprise inspection by a joint team of police and state health department officials in September last year.
The inspection detected irregularities in the manner in which the centre was treating a large number of patients suffering from depression and alcoholism.
Following the scrutiny, politicians in the state, cutting across party lines, raised a hue and cry while Panackal urged the court to stop the inspections.
Justice R. Basanth dismissed the petition and ruled that the court has the right to order inspections even if it is a place of worship or prayer.
Police File Criminal Charges against Asia´s Largest Charismatic Center, Some See Conspiracy
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/5824
May 2, 2007
Police have filed criminal charges against 10 top officials of a popular Catholic retreat center in southern India. The accused include two priests and a nun.
The charges against the Divine Retreat Center were filed on April 30 at the direction of Kerala state´s High Court, which ordered a probe of the center more than a year ago.
Billed as Asia´s largest Catholic charismatic renewal center, the complex managed by Vincentian priests is located in Muringoor, a village in Trissur (formerly Trichur) district, 2,565 kilometers south of New Delhi. It draws 10,000 people for its weekly retreats, conducted in seven languages.
On March 10, 2006, the High Court, reportedly acting on an anonymous letter and two compact discs it received, took up the case suo motu (on its own initiative) and appointed a senior police official, Vincent M. Paul, to head the probe. His team investigated allegations of sexual harassment, mysterious deaths, foreign exchange violations and management of a hospital without a license, said a police official who did not want to be identified.
Those now charged in the case are the center´s director, Father George Panackal, and administrator, Father Mathew Thadathil, a nun and seven others.
The charges come under Indian Penal Code sections dealing with criminal conspiracy, wrongful confinement, voluntarily causing harm with dangerous weapons, poisoning and tampering with evidence, the unnamed official said.
According to the probe report, 974 unnatural deaths occurred at the center between 1996 and 2006, and the bodies were disposed of without informing local police. The report further alleged that the center forged documents to make the deaths appear natural.
The center began operating three decades ago. It manages several subsidiary units on the site that house and serve poor, sick and destitute people. One such facility is Shantipuram (city of peace), which houses 450 mentally ill patients. The center also runs a de-addiction center for 150 substance abusers, and a home for 100 destitute women. Yet another facility caters to 150 widows and abandoned wives, and 300 children.
The report accused the center of running a mental hospital without a license and administering drugs without prescriptions from qualified medical professionals.
The charges are “grave and serious,” says lawyer Jaya Shanker, who handles cases in the High Court. “The accused may get 10 years” hard labor, he told UCA News. Some offenses are non-bailable and the accused must appear before the investigation officer and the court, he added.
Father Panackal, in a public statement, alleged a police vendetta against the center after it challenged the High Court-ordered investigation and filed a review petition in the Supreme Court.
“Our move irritated the investigation team,” which resulted in the charges, he said. “We will deal with it legally,” the priest added in his statement. He asked supporters to pray for the center.
Thomas Devaprasad, a journalist-turned-charismatic leader, said he was “anguished” by the “most unfortunate” turn of events. The center is caught in “controversy and conspiracy,” he added. Without elaborating, he said “time will reveal the conspiracy and expose the guilty.”
Father Paul Thelakat, spokesperson for the Syro-Malabar Church, one of two Oriental Catholic Churches based in Kerala, told UCA News the Church has “faith in the judicial system and will wait for the law to take its course.”
The Vincentian congregation that manages the center belongs to the Syro-Malabar Church, one of two Oriental Catholic Churches based in Kerala. They and the Latin-rite Church make up the Indian Catholic Church.
The police have only leveled charges against the center´s officials, Father Thelakat noted, and the legal process now requires they prove the charges. He added that no one can be judged guilty before the process is completed.
Nonetheless, the Church is “sad … as one of our prime institutions is under attack,” the priest-spokesperson said. “It was a center of hope for thousands of poor people who were shunted aside by society.”
Controversial Christian prayer centre to approach court
http://www.nerve.in/news:25350045116
Angamaly (Kerala), IANS, May 4, 2007
The controversial Christian prayer centre near Trissur district Friday said that it would approach the Kerala High Court to quash the complaint of irregularities filed by a court-appointed investigation team.
The complaint has been filed by the special investigation team (SIT) led by Inspector General of Police Vincent M. Paul who was asked to conduct a detailed probe into all the activities by the high court after it received complaints of criminal activities including unnatural deaths taking place in the Muringur Divine Retreat Centre.
According to the SIT, there were 974 deaths of inmates in the last few years and the centre authorities were running a de-addiction centre without mandatory clearances.
Speaking to reporters here, Fr George Panackal, the director of the centre, said they would approach the court.
‘Not a single family member of the 974 people who died here has raised any doubt,’ defended Panackal.
Already the Kerala unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party has demanded immediate closure of the centre and have termed that this centre is the Noida of Kerala.
It was on Monday that the special investigating team had filed a formal complaint against the centre on the basis of the findings of a court-directed probe into allegations of criminal activities there, including unnatural deaths.
They have indicted Panackal and 10 other members of the staff, including nuns as accused.
The centre, billed as Asia’s biggest of its kind, was subjected to a surprise inspection by a joint team of police and state health department officials in September last year. The inspection detected irregularities in the manner in which the centre was treating a large number of patients suffering from depression and alcoholism.
STATEMENT ISSUED IN DEFENSE OF THE CENTRE
Truth about Divine Retreat Center Will Prevail: Fr. Augustine
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/5918
May 9, 2007
Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor belongs to the Vincentian Congregation and has always been functioning according to the direction and guidance of the Church authorities. We, the priests of the Retreat Centre, are fully committed to the motto of St. Vincent de Paul, our Patron of the Vincentian Congregation – “The Spirit of The Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor.” (Luke 4:18) Divine Retreat Centre has always kept its doors open to welcome and to care for the poor and the marginalized of our society irrespective of race, caste or religion. Currently, we are looking after 100 AIDS patients, 450 mentally challenged, 250 people with acute problems of addictions, 50 terminally ill patients, 200 elderly men and women abandoned by their families, 300 orphaned children and many financially broken men, women and youth (a large portion of our volunteer base who come from very poor and difficult backgrounds) – together, 3000 of “the least of the brethren of Jesus” are housed in and cared for, here, at Divine Retreat Centre.
We have always been aware that because of our commitment to preach the Gospel of Christ, certain communal forces have been working against us. It is precisely because of the bold stand we have taken in our retreats against all forms of social injustice, corruption, alcoholism, drug addiction, and exploitation against the poor, that there are many dark, anti-social forces working against us. All we have taught and practiced since Divine Retreat Centre opened in 1989 is the commandment of Jesus – “Love one another just as I love you.” (John 15:12)
The functioning of the Divine Retreat Centre has been very transparent to the ecclesiastical and civil authorities as well as to the general public from the very beginning. We have nothing to hide here! It is precisely with this attitude that we accepted with an open mind the Enquiry ordered by the Honourable High Court of Kerala on 25 March 2006. Yet, after a vigorous investigation of thirteen months, the police investigation team could not even produce a single FIR (First Information Report) against us to the court. The Retreat Centre was constantly under the surveillance of the police. Many people working for the Retreat Centre were called in for questioning. For how long could we continue to work under the pressures of the police enquiry? With no end in sight, we, the Vincentian priests, felt that there should be a time limit for this unwarranted police interference in the daily functioning of the Retreat Centre.
Rev. Fr. George Panackal V.C., Director – Divine Retreat Centre submitted a petition to the Supreme Court of India on 30 March 2007 with the belief that if there are no objective evidences against the Retreat Centre, the Order of the High Court should be given a stay. The Supreme Court of India admitted our petition on 30 March 2007. As a result, the Police Investigation Team and the Kerala Government were served notices stating that they should file a response in four weeks. As soon as the Police Investigation Team received the notice, they had an FIR registered against Divine Retreat Centre in a great hurry – without respect to the truth or facts.
I would like to point out a few of the glaring faults that stand out in the allegations highlighted in the FIR that was filed against Divine Retreat Centre on 30 April 2007. Firstly, the FIR contained very vague and general allegations. One case registered in particular is about the death of a sick person, Neena Kumari. Let me state clearly that we are happy to be accused of being involved in her death – Yes, we have cared for this woman person till her last breath! The Police are accusing us of having caused her death. Indeed, persecutions and sufferings are the rights and privileges of the disciples of Jesus! However, we would like to make one thing very clear. The post-mortem report of the said dead person states in no uncertain terms that she had died of a defective heart valve. This official report is with the Police as well as with us. Yet, the Investigating Police team seems to think that there is something unusual in the death.
The dark, anti-social communal forces that wanted to malign Divine Retreat Centre had already brought an allegation against Rev. Fr. Mathew Thadathil V.C., one of our priests who is serving here with exemplary commitment and personal holiness. They brought about this allegation using a lady who is serving a term for a theft case in the Calicut jail. She alleged that Fr. Mathew Thadathil had sexually molested and raped her and as a result she became pregnant. As per the direction of the High Court, the Police Team conducted a thorough investigation, even taking recourse to a DNA test, and came to the conclusion that all the allegations were TOTALLY false. Despite this fact, it is a matter of great concern to us that there is no effort on the part of the Police to highlight the truth of Fr. Mathew Thadathil’s proven innocence and to bring to light the evil forces that gave rise to such atrocious and baseless allegations.
When these people failed in their previous anonymous attempts, they have come forward with another allegation to malign Divine Retreat Centre. We know that many people are shocked by the recent media reports that 974 people have died in the Retreat Centre in ‘shady circumstances’. In our AIDS Home alone, we have cared for more than 1000 people in the last 10 years. Most of them who came here were in the last stages of their illness and had a natural and holy death in our care. In our Home for the Terminally Ill and in the Home for the Aged, some of our elderly residents have been called to their eternal rest. Moreover, an average of 200,000 people come annually to Divine Retreat Centre for our retreats every year. Among them, there are a lot of sick people who are abandoned by medical science and are in their last stages of life due to incurable diseases like cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, AIDS and so forth. In fact, some of them come here with the specific intention of dying a peaceful death. It is the natural death of these persons that the media has reported. Divine Retreat Centre has registered the full details of all these 974 deaths with the Melur Panchayat Office. Their complete details and addresses are kept at the office of Divine Retreat Centre as well. The fact that we have been able to take care of these abandoned and pained individuals and be of some assistance to them in the moments of their death is a matter of great joy for us. If we are crucified for this loving care that we provided, we would take it not as death but as a resurrection! Indeed, for us, the deaths of these 974 people are not something shocking or painful but a matter of priestly satisfaction – that when they were abandoned by their own, we could reach out to them to give them the comfort of the Word of God and the grace of the Holy Sacraments.
We want to remind the media that they have the moral and ethical responsibility to expose the dark, anti-social powers that continuously try to destroy the humanitarian institutions which are the sole refuge of the abandoned, the homeless and the marginalized in society – it is institutions like ours that encourage the culture of fraternal service in our society. Our call to the media is to do an honest soul-searching and to see if they have adopted a mature, objective and unbiased attitude towards Divine Retreat Centre. The Church and the society are deeply hurt by the untoward action of the police officers and the irresponsible attitude of the media. Sensationalism on prime-time television news, radio and newspapers without verifying the truth or reporting the true facts has caused irreparable harm and pain to innocent parties and to the works of Divine Retreat Centre. There has been a very calculated move on the part of the communal forces to shut down this House of Prayer by continuously raising false allegations and instigating communal tensions. We hope and pray that the truth will succeed and that we will get the opportunity soon to prove that all the allegations are false.
We request the prayers of all our friends and benefactors who have shown us immense love and unwavering support – that we may stand firm with the Lord to face these false allegations with the courage of the martyrs of the early church!
“Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good.” (Hebrews 10:24)

Muringoor Divine Centre: SC allows police investigation
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/5978
Thiruvananthapuram, May 17, 2007
The Supreme Court today permitted the special police team to proceed the investigation on allegations against the Muringoor Divine Centre. The investigation team must consult the court before arresting anyone related to the divine centre in connection with the case, the apex court directed. Meanwhile, the court rejected the plea submitted by Maria Palana Society.
Earlier, the special police team, which probed the functioning of the Christian retreat centre in Kochi, has filed a preliminary report citing serious charges against the centre. After six-month-long investigation the special team has registered a case against the director Father George Panackal and eight other office-bearers of the centre. They have been booked under various charges including forceful confinement, causing hurt by poison, cheating and destroying evidences.
The team has also found that during 1996-2006 as many as 900 odd mysterious deaths took place at the centre and on many occasions bodies were disposed without informing the police. The documents were allegedly forged to make it appear natural deaths, the FIR said demanding a detailed probe into these deaths.
Claimed to be the largest Catholic healing centre in the world, the Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor near Kochi, was in news recently after one of the devotees sent an anonymous letter to the Kerala High Court. The letter reportedly carried serious charges including sexual harassment, forceful confinement and murder charges against the centre. Soon the court suo motu constituted a high-level team headed by Inspector General of Police Vincent M Paul to inquire into the charges.
The probe team found that several persons were locked in cells in the name of healing. Persons showing violent signs were often injected with unknown drugs by untrained hands. Besides the FIR filed at Koratty police station, the team has also filed a report before the first class judicial magistrate. The team has also recommended a probe into the foreign funding of the healing centre.
When the police team raided the Divine Centre last year it had created a big furore in the state. The ruling CPM and opposition Congress had condemned it in strongest terms. But the High Court had given a green signal to the probe team. The aggrieved Divine Centre had approached the apex court but it upheld the HC order.
Supreme Court Rejects Catholic Retreat Center’s Plea against investigation
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/5983
New Delhi, May 17, 2007
On May 17, India’s Supreme Court rejected the petition of a Catholic charismatic center seeking a stay on the police probe into its activities.
Divine Retreat Center in the southern state of Kerala petitioned the Supreme Court on March 30. It asked the country’s highest court to halt the police investigation that the state High Court ordered into the center’s activities.
The Supreme Court judges, rejecting the petition, said the police can continue their probe and should complete it as the High Court has directed.
“It’s not fair of the court to stop the ongoing investigation. But if the investigation team wants to arrest any of the officials of the center, the police officials should get prior permission from the Supreme Court,” the judges said.
The judges also clarified that the investigation team has the authority to interrogate any center official for the investigation.
For more than a year, controversies have dogged the facility in Muringoor, a village about 2,560 kilometers south of New Delhi. Vincentian priests manage the popular center, which conducts weekly retreats throughout the year, each attracting more than 10,000 Christians and people of other religions.
Police began investigating the center’s activities after the Kerala High Court ordered the probe on March 10, 2006. The court acted on an anonymous letter and two compact discs it reportedly received. The letter and CDs implicated the center in a series of crimes and irregularities, including murder, rape, foreign exchange violations and running an unlicensed hospital.
The continued presence of police at the center, more than a year later, forced center director Father George Panackal to appeal to the Supreme Court, according to a letter issued by Father Augustine Vallooran, director of the center’s English section.
The petition was filed “with the belief that if there is no objective evidence” against the center, the High Court order “should be given a stay,” said Father Vallooran’s letter, issued on May 9.
On April 30, state police filed charges at the local police station against 10 top officials of the center, including Father Panackal.
The charges come under Indian Penal Code sections dealing with criminal conspiracy, sexual harassment, wrongful confinement, voluntarily causing harm with dangerous weapons, poisoning and tampering with evidence.
The police report said that during the years 1996-2006, as many as 974 unnatural deaths occurred at the center, and the bodies were disposed of without informing the local police. The report alleged that the center forged documents to make the deaths appear natural.
Muringoor: SC Stays Arrest of Accused
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/6022
New Delhi, The New Indian Express, May 18, 2007
The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the arrest of all the 10 accused in the Divine Retreat Centre case.
A Bench comprising Justice S.H. Kapadia and Justice B. Sudershan Reddy also said that no custodial interrogation could be made without the permission of the apex court. The Kerala High Court had, on the basis of an anonymous letter, directed an investigation into the affairs of the centre in March 2006.
The petitioner contended that the High Court had passed this order without hearing its version. On his petition, the apex court had issued notice to Kerala and other respondents on April 20. It was further contended that an FIR was registered against the officials of the centre alleging that they had committed offences under Sections 324 of the Indian Penal Code (hurt) 342 (wrongful confinement) 420 (cheating) and under Section 82 of the Mental Health Act. The petitioners sought stay of all further proceedings contending that a special investigating team was constituted within four hours after receiving the apex court notice and this is with an intention to defeat the purpose of the special leave petition.
It was further averred that three witnesses are inimically disposed towards the petitioners and they belong to a rival centre. The FIR stated that more than 900 people died from 1992 to 2007 at the centre.
To this, the petitioners replied in the court that all the inmates of their centre are terminally ill patients. Most of them are suffering from diseases like cancer and AIDS.
There is nothing unnatural if they die. The centre is not a health club, the petitioners argued.
Divine Shroud and an F.I.R.
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/george-panakkal-of-drc-faces-criminal-allegations/1/155868.html
By M. G. Radhakrishnan, May 28, 2007
Charges of rape and murder levelled against a high-profile Christian spiritual centre in Kerala have brought Congress and CPI(M) together against the police and BJP.
CHARGE-SHEET
The FIR against DRC includes the following charges:
There were 974 deaths, not all natural, between 1991 and 2006, at the centre.
Bodies were disposed of without investigation.
People developed mental illnesses after being administered psychotropic drugs.
Patients were kept in forced confinement at the centre.
The DRC’s medical wing does not have the requisite licences.
The centre had obtained pecuniary favours from the government by misrepresenting or withholding facts.
It has all the trappings of a sensational criminal story-a high-profile spiritual centre, rocked by allegations of murder, rape, drug abuse. The Divine Retreat Centre (DRC) at Thrissur, Kerala-the country’s largest Christian meditation and healing institution run by the Vincentian Catholic priests-which attracts over 10,000 people every day for its “divine” prayer and faith-healing sessions held simultaneously in seven languages, faces a series of stunning charges in an FIR filed by a special investigation team (SIT) of the Kerala police recently. Criminal cases have been registered against Father George Panackal, director, Father Mathew Thadathil, procurator, and other office-bearers of the DRC, which runs a host of institutions including a general hospital, a mental care home, a home for AIDS patients, an orphanage, a de-addiction centre, an old age centre, a Bible college, a home for widows, and even a marriage bureau.
The charges are not easy to dismiss. The investigation against the 15-year-old centre, headquartered in a four-acre campus near the national highway in Muringur, Chalakudy, was ordered by the Kerala High Court and carried out by an SIT headed by an IGP nominated by the court, with stern warning against any interference by the Government. The court dismissed a complaint filed by the centre against police raids on its premises, home to the sick and elderly. Following this, the centre approached the Supreme Court with a special leave petition against the investigation. Last month, the apex court issued notices to the chief secretary of the state, SIT and the IGP in charge.
The FIR has created havoc in the state as almost all political organisations have expressed displeasure at “attempts to denigrate” the popular and powerful DRC. A few weeks before it was filed, Pinarayi Vijayan, state secretary of the ruling CPI(M), had visited the centre and slammed the police raid as “a high-handed act against the centre, which was doing a great, humanitarian task of helping the needy and the sick”. Former chief minister Oommen Chandy
of the Congress also expressed displeasure at the police’s “rude ways towards a centre of meditation”. But organisations attached to BJP have urged authorities to shut down the centre.
It all began with an anonymous letter received by the high court in October 2005. The letter and the compact discs sent along with it contained many serious allegations against the DRC, including rape, suspected murder, financial misappropriation including violation of foreign exchange regulations, and wrongful inclusion of the names of inmates in the electoral list. The most sensational among the charges was the alleged suppression, by the centre, of a complaint made by a former inmate that she was raped by the procurator. It was also alleged that a number of unidentified dead bodies were found in and around the centre.
In response to this, high court judge Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair ordered the police to investigate the charges and also directed an SIT to be constituted under Inspector General Vinson M. Paul. The team conducted raids at DRC in September last year, seizing documents and videotaping the complex. On the basis of testimonials by witnesses against the centre, the FIR includes the following charges: between 1991 and 2006, as many as 974 people died-not all were natural deaths-at the centre and the dead bodies disposed of without investigation; many developed mental illnesses after going to DRC, particularly after unauthorised administration of psychotropic drugs; patients were kept in forced confinement; the centre’s medical institutions have no requisite licences or statutory facilities; and DRC had obtained pecuniary favours from the Government by misrepresenting or withholding facts. Mariyapalana Society, an NGO run by local Catholics, also complained that the centre had tried to receive foreign donations by manipulating documents.
“Everything at DRC is shrouded in mystery. They do not respect laws regarding how to run a hospital or what to do if a death occurs there. They have not given satisfactory explanations for the charges made against them,” says a senior SIT official. But the priests dismiss all charges as baseless. “We strongly feel there is a conspiracy to denigrate the name of the centre,” says Panackal. However, he refuses to divulge the details of the conspiracy, as the case is about to come up in the court. “There could have been 974 deaths at the centre. But don’t forget that at our home for AIDS patients, our old age home and the general hospital, we have at least 400 people on the verge of dying at any point of time,” he says, dismissing the charge that dead bodies were buried without intimating the authorities. The director also cites a report of an earlier police investigation, which had dismissed these charges levelled earlier against the centre. “The IG heading SIT has not visited DRC in the last two years, nor has he met us to find out what we have to say. It is unconstitutional to vest all powers in a police officer without any government control,” he says.
Dr K.P. Hormis, a psychiatrist attached to the centre and a former civil surgeon, denies that drugs were administered without his authorisation, and that there were any unnatural deaths. But does the hospital have the required licence? “We are not running a mental hospital, but a mental care home, for which we have a licence from the local panchayat. We have also applied for Government registration,” says Panackal, adding that DRC hasn’t received any complaint from the state Drugs Control Department, which is in charge of monitoring the use of drugs. According to the priest, the FIR was prepared on the basis of allegations made by witnesses who were long-time opponents of the centre.
The centre also alleges that evidence that proved wrong many of the allegations made in the original anonymous letter to the court is not mentioned in the FIR. “The allegation that a woman was raped and impregnated by a priest at the centre was proved false by a DNA test. The finding by an earlier police investigation that no unnatural deaths had occurred at the centre has also been ignored. It proves the SIT investigation was neither transparent nor honest,” says the director.
DRC says the filing of the FIR also was suspect. It was filed hurriedly on the day the Supreme Court issued notices to the SIT in response to the petition filed by the centre. “Why did they take so long to file the FIR? Why did they file it a day before the case came up in the Supreme Court and got it signed by the magistrate at his home at 10 in the night?” asks Panackal, adding that the police raid was completely highhanded and that the sick inmates were yet to come out of the shock. “They even made a video-film of the AIDS patients here, which is against universal law,” he says.
The FIR has put the political parties which have supported DRC on the defensive. “We are not against the law taking its course. What we had objected to was the high-handedness of the police,” says Vaikom Viswan, convener of the ruling Left Democratic Front. Congress leaders, too, have chosen to lie low. Interestingly, the strongest defence of DRC after the filing of the FIR has come from Janapaksham, a dissident group of BJP. “It is unfair to level baseless allegations against an institution which serves the people,” says its leader K. Raman Pillai, former state president of BJP. While the reputation of the centre is clearly at stake, charges continue to fly thick and fast.
KCBC Not to Interfere in Divine Retreat Centre Investigations
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/6293
June 7, 2007
Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council (KCBC) today reiterated that admission to all self-financing professional colleges under the Kerala Catholic Sabha would be transparent and on the basis of merit.
Talking to reporters here, KCBC Secretary General Varghese Chakalakkal said five per cent seats would be reserved for backward communities, upto five per cent for dalit Christians and two per cent for Latin Catholics. […]
Divine Retreat Centre issue
On the Muringoor Divine Centre, Dr. Varghese said as the matter was in Kerala High Court there was no need for the Council to interfere in the issue.
However, as the Centre was under the Ernakulam Archdiocese, Cardinal Mar Varkey Vithayathil would probe into the allegations against the Centre, including sexual exploitation of women.
He said KCBC had also constituted a commission to review the functioning of the divine centres.
Police, Administration clash over Divine Retreat Centre issue
https://www.christiantoday.com/article/police.administration.clash.over.divine.retreat.centre.issue/11255.htm
By Jacob Chatterjee, Thiruvananthapuram, June 23, 2007
A row has flared up in Kerala between the state police and the management of the popular catholic retreat centre, the Divine Retreat Centre, with the police filing criminal charges against 10 top officials including its director Father George Panackal, his close associates and a nun.
The police have claimed that a total of 974 mysterious deaths, most of them young, took place at the Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor, Kerala, between 1991 and 2006 and on many occasions the bodies were reportedly disposed of without informing the police, allegedly by forging documents to make them look like natural deaths.
Charges framed against the centre comes after six months of investigations at the direction of the Kerala High Court, include forceful confinement, causing hurt by poison, cheating and destroying evidences.
The Kerala High Court, acting suo motu, had ordered a probe into its affairs, following complaints and allegations ranging from mysterious disappearances and murders to violation of foreign exchange rules.
The retreat centre, which was set up in the late 80’s, attracts thousands of people every week from all religions across the country.
The centre, which conducts week-long in-house prayer sessions, has appointed several people as preachers. It has also opened branches throughout India.
The centre, run by the Vincentian Congregation, runs homes for the destitute, drug addicts, AIDS patients and the mentally handicapped, and also hosts spiritual retreats.
The Muringoor centre falls under the Ernakulam Archdiocese of the Syro Malabar Church.
According to sources close to the development, an investigating team led by Inspector General of Police Vincent M. Paul has accused the centre of running a mental hospital without a licence and administering drugs without prescriptions from qualified medical professionals.
The team allegedly found several persons confined in cells for “healing” and those showing violent signs were often injected with drugs by “untrained” hands.
Besides the first information report filed at Koratty police station, the team has also filed a report before the first class judicial magistrate. The team has also recommended a probe into the foreign funding of the healing centre.
When the police team raided the Divine Centre last year, both the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) and opposition Congress party condemned it in strongest terms but the High Court gave a green signal to the probe team.
The charges under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections against the centre’s director, administrator Father Mathew Thadathil, a nun and seven others include criminal conspiracy, wrongful confinement, voluntarily causing harm with dangerous weapons, poisoning and tampering with evidence. If found guilty, they may face up to 10 years of hard labour.
Meanwhile, the centre has alleged a police vendetta after it challenged the High Court-ordered investigation and filed a review petition in the Supreme Court.
“Our move irritated the investigation team,” which resulted in the charges, Fr. Panackal said. “We will deal with it legally,” the priest added in his statement. He asked supporters to pray for the centre.
Fr. Panackal had also approached the Supreme Court of India seeking a stay on the police probe into its activities.
“Not a single family member of the 974 people who died here has raised any doubt,” he said.
However, the apex court, rejecting the petition, said the police could continue their probe and should complete it as the High Court has directed.
“It’s not fair of the court to stop the ongoing investigation. But if the investigation team wants to arrest any of the officials of the centre, the police officials should get prior permission from the Supreme Court,” the Supreme Court judges said.
The judges also clarified that the investigation team has the authority to interrogate any centre official for the investigation.
Thomas Devaprasad, a journalist-turned-charismatic leader, said he was “anguished” by the “most unfortunate” turn of events. The centre is caught in “controversy and conspiracy,” he added. Without elaborating, he said “time will reveal the conspiracy and expose the guilty.”
Syro-Malabar Church spokesman Father Paul Thelakat said the Church has “faith in the judicial system and will wait for the law to take its course.”
“The Church is sad as one of our prime institutions is under attack. It was a centre of hope for thousands of poor people who were shunted aside by society,” Fr. Thalakat added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan said his government was not planning to order any special probe but would follow the court directives. He also rejected the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) demand for immediate closure of the centre.
In a statement posted on the retreat’s website, Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, Major Archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese, said it was a “centre of healing and relief for the mentally sick and those abandoned by their own dear ones.”
“Thousands of patients come here to pray for their healing. A large number of people get healings because of their faith,” he said.
“Although there were court cases, the doors (of the centre) were left open for all. Anyone could at any time step in. At this Retreat Centre, to my knowledge, nothing is done secretly or under cover of concealment. That is precisely why when the Honourable Court ordered an inquiry, the Director of Divine Retreat Centre boldly declared that they would fully co-operate with the inquiry,” the prelate added.
“Instead of observing and getting to know the ground realities, it is deplorable that a police investigation trespassing all the limits of decency and respectability was carried out. The media projection of the recent police investigation at the Divine Retreat Centre is itself despicable,” the cardinal said.
Permission to uplink TV channel “Jeevan TV” withdrawn
Source: Information & Broadcasting Ministry Press Release
September 21, 2007
The Government has withdrawn the permission of M/s. Jeevan Telecasting Corporation Ltd. to uplink their TV channel “Jeevan TV” with effect from 11.9.2007.
“Jeevan TV” channel was also carrying News & Current Affairs programme. Therefore, M/s. Jeevan Telecasting Corporation Ltd. had applied to conform to the revised guidelines. But Ministry of Home Affairs did not grant security clearance to the company to uplink a news & current affairs TV channel.
Accordingly, no DTH service provider & cable operator is to carry this channel on their DTH/Cable network.
The company was permitted to uplink this channel from India on 18.7.2002 as per uplinking guidelines at that time. Subsequently, Government had introduced separate guidelines for permission for uplinking of news & current affairs TV channels from India and all existing channels, which were carrying news & current affairs in their programme content were asked to conform to these guidelines.
Uplinking permission to Malayalam channel Jeevan TV withdrawn

New Delhi, September 21, 2007
Malayalam channel Jeevan TV, which has been telecasting since July 2002 has been refused permission with effect from 11 September to continue uplinking in India as it is carrying news and current affairs programmes. Promoted by the Catholic Church of Kerala, the channel had failed to get clearance from the Home Ministry for telecast news and current affairs.
The channel had initially applied for uplinking permission in 2002 under the guidelines prevalent at the time. However, the government had in November 2005 promulgated separate guidelines for news and current affairs channels and Jeevan Telecasting Corporation Ltd had been asked to apply for fresh permission as it was also carrying news & current affairs.
The channel had made a fresh application to conform to the revised guidelines, but failed to get security clearance.
The information and broadcasting Ministry has therefore directed that no DTH service provider and cable operator will carry this channel on their DTH/Cable network.
When the government promulgated separate uplinking guidelines for news and current affairs, all existing channels carrying news and current affairs in their programme content were asked to conform to these guidelines.
When it first got permission to uplink, Jeevan TV had become the fifth Malayalam news channel in the country. The others were the regional Doordarshan Kendra, apart from Asianet, Surya and Kairali.
The channel was formally launched on 14 July 2002 and was being run from a studio and uplinking centre located in Kerala’s commercial capital, Kochi. Jeevan had then claimed it would offer programmes that entertain while stressing the importance of moral values. News and education shows dominated the channel’s programming.

No security clearance to uplink news and current affairs channel
Channel says it has secured a stay for two months beginning September 17
Broadcasting Ministry says that it is unaware of the stay order
The Government on Friday announced that it had withdrawn the permission of Malayalam infotainment channel Jeevan TV to uplink from September 11. However, Jeevan Telecasting Corporation Ltd.
(JTCL) managers said that they had secured a stay on the order from the Kerala High Court for two months beginning September 17.
According to a statement issued by the Union Information & Broadcasting Ministry, the permission to uplink had been withdrawn as the Union Home Ministry had not granted security clearance to the JTCL to uplink a news and current affairs TV channel. Till late evening, the Ministry maintained that it was unaware of the stay order.
As per the Government’s order, no Direct-to-Home service provider and cable operator should offer this channel on their network. The channel was allowed to uplink in July 2002 and has been on the air since. However, it was asked to conform to the new uplinking guidelines that were issued in 2005 for news and current affairs channels.
Meanwhile, JTCL Chief Operating Officer Christopher George told The Hindu from Kochi that the Kerala High Court had on September 17 stayed the Government’s order and allowed the channel to uplink and downlink for another two months. Reading out a prepared statement, he said: “The channel has been making all efforts to regularise some of its company affairs which have arisen after the introduction of the new uplinking guidelines.”
Conceding that only the condition pertaining to security clearance was pending, Mr. George said steps had been initiated to meet this requirement also. The issue of security clearance apparently arises primarily because of the network’s large shareholder base.

Jeevan TV

By Austine Crasta, Owner-Moderator, Konkani Catholics yahoo group
Jeevan TV is a 24 hours Malayalam television channel which if I’m not mistaken was initiated (?) by the Catholic Church in Kerala and which enjoyed the active support of the Divine Retreat Centre. During my retreats at Divine, the Jeevan TV project would be mentioned by Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C., the director of the English section of Divine. Video shootings of preaching, Mass, etc. too would take place within Divine. In fact I may still have some of the promotional material including a VCD I brought back then.
I believe the 24 hour Malayalam channel was launched somewhere in July-August 2002 with its headquarters at Palarivattom, Kochi Kerala. It is now described as “the complete family channel”
Syro-Malabar Archbishop Emeritus Jacob Thoomkuzhy and Archbishop Andrews Thazhath is the Honorary Chairman and Co-Chairman respectively while Bishop Mathew Arackal of Kanjirapally is the Chairman.
Mr. Baby Mathew Somatheeram is the Managing Director and Fr. Augustine Vallooran too is one of the co-Chairman on the 15 member board of Directors.
According to IANS, “The government has refused permission to Malayalam TV channel Jeevan TV to continue uplinking in India as it reportedly violated guidelines by telecasting news and current affairs programmes… The channel had initially applied for uplinking permission in 2002 under the guidelines prevalent at the time. However, after the government promulgated separate guidelines for news and current affairs channels in November 2005, Jeevan Telecasting Corporation Ltd was asked to apply for fresh permission as it was also carrying news and current affairs programmes… Jeevan TV started broadcasting family entertainment programmes and claimed to have blended them with moral education. But soon news and education shows became the staple fare of the Malayalam channel.”
“Within hours of I&B ministry issuing a statement in this regard”, The Hindu said, “Jeevan Telecasting Corporation in a faxed statement from its Kochi headquarters to PTI said the ministry order has been ‘stayed by the High Court of Kerala on September 17.’
“In his order Justice Antony Dominic of Kerala High Court has stayed I&B ministry order for two months and permitted to continue the uplinking and downlinking,” the statement from Christopher George, Chief Operating Officer, Jeevan Telecasting Corporation, said.
When confronted with the channel’s claim, senior ministry officials, not wanting to be named, said they have not received any copy of the court order. “Ask them to produce one if there is any such directive from the court and we will honour it”, a Ministry official said. This is from what I gathered from various stories. We will have to wait and watch the developments.
63 priests in Kerala face criminal charges
Offences include murder, rape, molestation, assault, abduction, theft and cheating

By Don Sebastian, Thiruvananthapuram, October 19, 2007
Forget the sheep, the Church has a tough task ahead in reclaiming its lost shepherds. If the data released by the Kerala Police is any indication, the weeds have spread among the wheat.
As many as 63 Christian priests in the state face criminal charges pending against them, reveals documents yielded as per the Right to Information Act.
Murder, attempt to murder, rape, molestation, assault, abduction, theft, break-in, cheating, almost every offence under the Indian Penal Code, and of course, the Ten Commandments, has been committed by the deviant priests. Worse, the biblical whitewashed tombs are still at the helm of affairs in parishes.
Going by the crime records of the past seven years, two priests have been accused of murder while ten are charged with attempt to murder. Yet another is booked for aiding in a murder. Joseph Antony and Maria Lal Manjali are accused of homicide.
Mathew Jacob, ET Johnson, KP Mathai, Joy T Varghese, Jiju Varghese, Reji are accused of attempt to murder in cases registered in different police stations. Giving them company is Paul Payyappilly, parish priest of Pavaratti St Joseph’s Church, held under Explosives Act.
Priests also excel in crimes of passion. Five of them are rape accused.
Jose Thadathil and TJ Joy, a CSI parish priest, are just two. Jose works in the Divine Retreat Centre, a pilgrim centre near Thrissur facing criminal inquiry ordered by the Kerala High Court. Sisters Viola and Nirmala are also involved in the case.
Father Joseph in Kollam is caught in an immoral traffic case. Ernakulam Infant Jesus Church vicar Thomas is an accused in a molestation case while Father Paul Vilangumpara is accused of molestation and abduction.
Yet another priest in coastal Thiruvananthapuram is accused of rape.
Most of the priests have incurred cheating charges against them as part of their managerial functions.
Fr Thomas Pothanamuzhi, Fr Thomas Kizhakkedath and Fr Ouseph, the principal, manager and former principal of St Aloysius College, Edathuva, have been accused of breach of trust.
A similar case has been charged in 2005 against Andrews Thekkekkandam, a vicar in Thamarasseri, the nerve centre of the Catholic Church’s present tirade against the Left government.
As many as five priests are accused of theft and break-in, taking the total number of the seeds on rocky ground to 63. This list excludes the suspects in the sensational murder of a nun in Kottayam in 1992.
Earlier, the CBI had taken two priests and two nuns to undergo truth serum tests in connection with the death of Sister Abhaya, who was found dead in a well on the premises of Pius X Convent, Kottayam.
Retreat Centers Welcome Bishops’ Decision to Check Retreat Activities
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/9170
Thiruvananthapuram, December 21, 2007
Some retreat preachers in Kerala have welcomed a plan of regional bishops to develop guidelines to make sure charismatic retreat centers do not deviate from Catholic teachings.
“We welcome the decision to have guidelines for the charismatic retreat centers,” said Father Augustine Vallooran, who directs English retreats at Divine Retreat Centre, one of Asia’s largest retreat centers.
The Vincentian priest told UCA News on Dec. 19 the bishops’ decision will help end the bishops’ apprehensions about retreat centers in the southern Indian state, where the charismatic movement began about 30 years ago.
At the end of the annual meeting of the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Council, held Dec. 12-13, an official announced the bishops’ plan to issue guidelines that would impact all Catholic retreat centers in Kerala within three months.
“It’s good for all,” commented Father John Kakkat of Chittoor Retreat Centre, which functions under Ernakulam-Angamaly Syro-Malabar archdiocese.
The council brings together 31 bishops from the three rites that constitute the Catholic Church in Kerala. The Latin rite, introduced by European missioners in the 16th century, has 11 dioceses. The Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara, both of them Oriental Churches that follow the Syrian liturgy, have 15 and five dioceses, respectively.
After announcing the plan, Father Stephen Alathara, the council’s deputy secretary, told UCA News the bishops have formed a commission to study how retreat centers are functioning. He said many of Kerala’s approximately 1,000 Catholic retreat centers operate without the knowledge of Church authorities and their preaching sometimes deviates from authentic Catholic teachings. The state has about 6 million Christians in a population of 31 million.
Father Alathara said controversy involving one retreat center forced the bishops to pay attention to these centers. “Control is necessary,” he added.
Father Paul Thelakat, the Syro-Malabar Church spokesperson and a retreat preacher, said the bishops worry that some charismatic centers are “sowing the seeds of Pentecostalism” among Catholics. “There is a feeling” several centers preach “a health-and-wealth Gospel” that promotes a “consumer spirituality” and in many cases deviates from authentic Catholic teachings, he said.
Such preaching sometimes denies “rationality in faith matters, giving undue stress to wonders and healings, leading to superstitions,” and sometimes such preachers interpret Scripture out of context, he pointed out.
Father Thelakat estimates about 15 percent of Catholics in recent years have joined Pentecostal Churches. Kerala’s bishops, fearing laypeople may equate the charismatic movement with Pentecostalism, wish to “guide and direct these centers in the true spirit of the age-old tradition of the Church,” he said.
One Catholic charismatic leader says the guidelines should not control such centers. Thomas Devaprasad, a journalist-turned-charismatic leader, told UCA News “strict control” would “kill the spirit of charismatic movement.” He said he welcomes the plan, but the guidelines should be “positive, not negative.”
Devaprasad also said he is against bishops “institutionalizing charismatic movement.” If it aims to interfere in the daily administration and activities, it would destroy the centers, he warned. Retreat centers in Kerala manage without “any financial help” from dioceses, he said, and the guidelines would choke these centers if they are meant to control funds flowing to the centers.

Re: KERALA: Bishops to Check Retreat Centre’s Teachings
Posted by: “Fr. Vincent Barboza” konkanicatholics@gmail.com
Thu Dec 27, 2007 11:15 pm (PST)
Dear KC members,
I am happy the Bishops of Kerala are coming out with guidelines for Retreat Centres in Kerala. I wish in other states also Bishops will take this step to check the teachings that are given in the retreat centres.
Besides retreat centres, there are individual prayer groups operating in the diocese which are not under any authorities and are not accountable to any authorities. These groups claim to be Catholic but operate independently from the Catholic Church.
In some of these centres and groups “seeds of Pentecostalism” is sown and health and wealth gospel is preached. Much emphasis is not given to Catholic Faith. In the bargain people leave the Church and join other denominations to get similar experience. They also support financially preachers promoting prosperity gospel.
I was suggesting one Charismatic retreat preacher to include apologetic teachings in his preachings which will help the people to be grounded in the Catholic Faith but he refused. He feels Jesus’ experience is enough to keep them back in the church. We need to teach our people to love Jesus – and also His Church. –Fr. Vincent Barboza, Mumbai
SC Reserves Orders in Divine Retreat Centre Case
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KonkaniCatholics/message/9835
http://lankacharisrenewal.blogspot.in/2008_02_13_archive.html
New Delhi, Express News Service, February 6, 2008
The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its orders in the Divine Retreat Centre case.
A Bench comprising Justice S H Kapadia and Justice B Sudershan Reddy heard at length the submissions of senior counsel P. P. Rao and G Prakash for the State of Kerala. Anil Diwan and Romy Chacko presented their case for the petitioners from Divine Retreat Centre.
The Divine Retreat Centre averred that it was established and managed by Vincentian Congregation and that it is the largest Retreat Centre in the world. Since 1990, over 10 million pilgrims from all over the world has attended retreats there and about 3,500 people are living permanently at the centre.
The organization is currently running a retreat centre at Muringoor, Thrissur, Kerala. The petitioner contended that an anonymous letter was written to the High Court based on which the High Court ordered an investigation without affording them an opportunity to present their case.
The Kerala High Court directed the constitution of a Special Investigation Team on March 10, 2006 to enquire into the allegations. Consequently, a Special Investigation Team headed by Vincent Paul, IPS, started the probe and filed an FIR on April 28, 2007. The High Court also said that the state government should investigate everything, including foreign exchange issues. The petitioners stated during the course of the hearings that the FIR named 10 persons and out of them, eight are only the helpers.
The Bench has tagged the petition filed by one Jomon Jose on the same issue and allowed him as an intervener. Jomon sought intervention of the Apex Court to set in motion the competent authorities to regulate and prohibit the alleged irregular and illegal activities carried out at the petitioner’s Centre.
The Bench directed the parties to file their written submissions within a week.
SC sets aside Kerala HC order on probe against Divine Retreat Centre
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/10350
New Delhi, PTI, March 11, 2008
The Supreme Court on Tuesday set aside the Kerala High Court order relating to probe by a Special Investigation Team of the state police into various allegations against the ‘Divine Retreat Centre’ run by Christian priests at Muringoor in Thrissur district. A Bench comprising Justices S H Kapadia and B Sudershan Reddy directed that the investigation be handed over to Kerala Police which will submit a report on the probe conducted so far to a magistrate.
The High Court on March 10, 2006 had issued the direction while initiating suo motu proceedings on the basis of anonymous letters, CDs and paper cuttings in which allegations regarding suspicious deaths, rapes and siphoning off of funds by the divine Centre had been made.
The High Court had said it was open to the SIT to resort to scientific analysis including DNA testing and Polygraph tests to unravel the truth.
It had also directed the SIT to inquire into the role of IAS/IPS officers in various matters relating to the Divine Centre, including publication of in-house magazines.
“Do not treat anonymous letters as PIL”

Supreme Court allows appeal
“High Courts cannot be converted into Station Houses”
Such letters must be placed before the Chief Justice
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday held that High Court judges cannot treat anonymous letters and petitions listing allegations against individuals or institutions as public interest litigation and order suo motu investigation.
A Bench of Justice S.H. Kapadia and Justice B. Sudershan Reddy said, “Setting criminal law in motion is fraught with serious consequences, which cannot lightly be undertaken by the High Court even in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution. The High Court cannot direct investigation by constituting a special investigation team on the strength of anonymous petitions. The High Courts cannot be converted into Station Houses.”
Writing the judgment, Mr. Justice Reddy said, “No judicial order can ever be passed by any court without providing a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the person likely to be affected by such order and particularly when such order results in drastic consequences of affecting one’s own reputation.”
The Bench said, “The individual who moves the court for judicial redress in cases of PIL must be acting bona fide with a view to vindicating the cause of justice and not for any personal gain or private profit or of the political motivation or other oblique consideration. The [High] Court should not allow itself to be activised at the instance of such person and must reject his application at the threshold, whether it be in the form of a letter addressed to the court or even in the form of a regular petition filed in court.”
In the instant case, Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor in Thrissur district, Kerala, was aggrieved over the suo motu probe ordered by a single judge of the Kerala High Court in respect of certain allegations contained in an anonymous letter addressed to him. The present appeal by the Centre is directed against that judgment.
Allowing the appeal, the Bench said: “History teaches us that the independence of the judiciary is jeopardised when courts become embroiled in the passions of the day and assume primary responsibility to resolve the issues which are otherwise not entrusted to it by adopting procedures which are otherwise not known.”
The Bench said “there is heavy duty cast upon the constitutional courts to protect themselves from the onslaught unleashed by unscrupulous litigants masquerading as public interest litigants. The individual judges ought not to entertain communications and letters personally addressed to them and initiate action on the judicial side. The letters are required to be placed before the Chief Justice for his consideration. Each judge cannot decide for himself as to what communication should be entertained for setting the law in motion be it in PIL, or in any jurisdiction.”
In this case, the single judge of the High Court ought not to have entertained the anonymous petition, contents of which remain unverified and made it the basis for setting the law in motion against the appellant as he was not entrusted with the judicial duty of disposing of PIL matters.
Truth Triumphs – Supreme Court quashes all allegations against Divine Retreat Centre
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/10609
March 31, 2008
From: Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C.
Director – English & Other Language Retreats, Divine Retreat Centre
Truth could no longer be contained in the tombstone. For over 18 years, Divine Retreat Centre has been preaching this message of hope in Jesus. This year as we prepare to roll the stone away in our celebration of Easter, the Lord removed a dark heavy cloud that has been hanging over the Centre.
As we celebrate Easter, the grand feast of the victory of the Lord over evil, we reach out to you who have been praying for and supporting us here at Divine Retreat Centre. We have a GREAT reason to rejoice for our God has intervened in our struggle against the forces of evil and won the battle for us.
It has been exactly two years of continued harassment and malicious propaganda in the media and at various quarters by fundamentalist groups – a consequence of the Kerala High Court’s order constituting a high level police enquiry about us on the basis of an anonymous letter. We waited patiently on firm faith for God’s time to intervene. Meanwhile, fervent prayers were rising to heaven from the hearts of thousands of people all over the world, who know us personally and appreciate our work for the Lord. God’s decisive intervention came on 11 March 2008, in the form of the judgement of the Supreme Court, setting aside the order of the High Court as anti-constitutional and against all natural justice.
‘IF GOD IS FOR US, WHO IS AGAINST US?’ (ROMANS 8:31)
It was on 10 March 2006, the High Court of Kerala, upon receiving an anonymous letter containing false allegations against Divine Retreat Centre, took up the case ‘suo motu’ (on its own initiative) and ordered an inquiry into the affairs of our Retreat Centre. A Special Investigation Team was formed for this purpose.
We, at Divine Retreat Centre, had welcomed the investigation and have been giving it our full cooperation. However, we had no inkling of what was to come. The police team began to harass us and disturb the smooth functioning of the daily services of our retreats.
We were especially shocked by the humiliating manner in which the police raids were carried out in the Centre on 30 September and 01 October 2006. What pained us the most was the way the sick were subjected to torturous harassment. Even the AIDS patients and the mentally challenged were not spared! We were deeply grieved at this cruelty.
After 21 months of rigorous investigation, the police team were still not able to come up with any evidence against our Retreat Centre. Thus, the contents of the anonymous letter on the basis of which this entire investigation was ordered, were proved baseless and wrongly motivated.
‘THE NATIONS SHALL SEE YOUR VINDICATION’ (ISAIAH 62:2)
It is at this juncture that we moved the Supreme Court with the intention of putting a stop to this unending harassment of the investigation process and unbridled media slander. On 11 March 2008, the Division bench of the Supreme Court consisting of Honourable Justices S.H. Kapadia and B. Sudershan Reddy gave the verdict. They had closely examined the report of the Inquiry of the Police Team and verified that the allegations levelled in the anonymous letter were all baseless.
On a deeper study of the matter, they ruled that High Court judges cannot treat anonymous letters containing allegations against individuals or institutions as Public Interest Litigation and order suo motu’ investigation. The judges further noted that ‘setting criminal law in motion is fraught with serious consequences, which cannot lightly be taken by the High Court. The High Court cannot direct investigation by constituting a special investigation team on the strength of anonymous petitions. The High Court cannot be converted into Station Houses.’
The Court was grieved that even natural justice was not shown to the Divine Retreat Centre by the High Court as the judge instituted the police inquiry without giving an opportunity to it to explain its position. The judges noted, ‘No judicial order can even be passed by any Court without providing a reasonable opportunity of being heard to the person likely to be affected by such order and particularly when such order results in drastic consequences of affecting one’s own reputation.’ Indeed, the reputation of the Centre had taken a beating as a result of the High Court order and the consequent police inquiry. The Supreme Court shares the pain of the Divine Retreat Centre and in fact of all right thinking people here. It stated, ‘Institution’s own reputation is a priceless treasure. History teaches us that the independence of the judiciary is jeopardized when courts become embroiled in the passions of the day and assume primary responsibility to resolve the issues which are otherwise not entrusted to it.’
In a tone of warning to the whole of the judiciary, the judgement declares, ‘There is heavy duty cast upon the constitutional courts to protect themselves from the onslaught unleashed by unscrupulous litigants masquerading as public interest litigants. The individual judges ought not to entertain communications and letters personally addressed to them and initiate action on the judicial side. The letters are required to be placed before the Chief Justice for his consideration. Each judge cannot decide for himself as to what communication should be entertained for setting the law in notion be it in Public Interest Litigation, or any jurisdiction.’
Hence the Supreme Court ruled that the High Court judge ought not to have entertained the anonymous petition and ordered the police inquiry, without first making sure that it was ‘not for any personal gain or private profit or of the political motivation or other oblique consideration.’
The Division Bench means it is a landmark verdict – it concluded the judgment stating, ‘Since the question is one of general importance, we should direct the copies of this judgment should be sent to the High Courts in all the States.’
In the Providence of God, the heartache we endured has become the saving grace for our country, especially for those who will be oppressed mercilessly by forces unscrupulous to use the sacred judiciary system of the country for their evil designs, As Joseph of the Old Testament consoled his brothers, we too can realize, ‘As for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.’ (Genesis 50:20)
‘HER VINDICATION GOES FORTH AS BRIGHTNESS’ (ISAIAH 62:1)
The Press as well as the religious and political leaders have hailed the verdict and celebrated it as the triumph of truth.
Cardinal Varkey Vithayathil, the Major Archbishop of Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese and President of the Catholic Bishop’s Conference, in welcoming the verdict, said that the ruling of the Supreme Court has brought spiritual and mental solace to the faithful and to all right thinking people.
The Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Conference stated, in its press release, that the Supreme Court verdict is the triumph of truth and justice. The Bishops further pointed out that it is folly to imagine that lies and false allegations would succeed for long. The verdict has helped to bring to light the true facts about the great humanitarian service carried out by the Retreat Centre bringing great peace of mind and spiritual consolation to millions especially the sick and the suffering. The verdict is welcomed as recognition of the charitable works of the Catholic Church as a whole. This press release was signed by the President of the Kerala Catholic Bishops’ Conference – Archbishop Daniel Acharuparambil, Vice-President – Bishop Joshua Mar Ignathios and Secretary – Archbishop Andrews Thazhath.
Mr. K. M. Mani, the Chairman of the Kerala Congress Party stated that the verdict is a feather in the cap for the Indian Judiciary as well as a decisive recognition of the noble activities of Divine Retreat Centre by the Supreme Court.
Major Archbishop Mar Baselios Cimas Catholica Bawa, has declared the verdict has proved that however severely persecuted, the ultimate victory will be for the truth. Divine Retreat Centre which is widely respected by people of all faiths was severely maligned by certain groups with vested interests. However the verdict has vindicated the Centre before all the people.
As I pen this message of great jubilation, we are still a few days away from Easter. Joy overwhelms us as we gratefully remember your unstinting prayerful support for us all through those hours of trial. Together then, let us reaffirm our faith in the Resurrection -in the ultimate triumph of good over evil!
Police Team Closes Probe into Asia’s Largest Catholic Retreat Center
April 11, 2008
Police have formally closed their probe into the activities of a popular Catholic retreat center in Kerala state, southern India.
“We have wound up the investigation. Our job is over,” Vinson M. Paul, a senior police official who headed a special investigation team, told UCA News on April 9. He had submitted his team´s report to the Kerala High Court two days earlier.
On March 11, the Indian Supreme Court directed the team to end its probe into activities of the Vincentian-run Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor, a village near Trichur in Kerala, 2,565 kilometers south of New Delhi. The investigation team began the probe a year earlier under direction from the Kerala High Court, the state´s top judicial authority.
Paul, a Catholic, confirmed that his team ended the High Court-ordered investigation after the Supreme Court directed it to do so. He refused to divulge details of the probe report.
Allegations leveled against the retreat center in an anonymous letter were the basis for the police investigation the Kerala High Court ordered on March 10, 2006. The letter and two compact discs the court reportedly received, implicated the center in a series of crimes and irregularities including murder, rape, foreign-exchange violations and running an unlicensed hospital.
The Supreme Court, in its decision ordering an end to the investigation, also criticized the lower court for ordering the probe based on an anonymous letter.
Father Paul Thelakat, spokesperson for the Syro-Malabar Church, the Kerala-based Oriental-rite Church that monitors the center, welcomed the end to the controversy. According to him, the High Court order to probe Asia´s largest Catholic spirituality center was an improper move that set a bad precedence.
Father Augustine Vallooran, who directs retreats in English at the center, expressed happiness that the case is closed. “We have a great reason to rejoice, for our God has intervened in our struggle against the forces of evil and won the battle for us,” he told UCA News on April 9. God has answered the “fervent prayers from thousands of people” across the world, who know “us personally and appreciate the center´s works,” he added.
According to the Vincentian priest, the center welcomed the probe and cooperated with it. “However, we had no inkling of what was to come. The police team began to harass us and disturb the smooth functioning of the daily services of our retreats,” he recounted. Father Vallooran also pointed out that after 21 months of “rigorous investigation,” the police team could find no evidence against the center. “It was at this juncture we moved the Supreme Court to stop the unending harassment and unbridled media slander,” he explained. He said the Supreme Court verdict has set guidelines for courts to follow in handling public interest litigation.
Another person to welcome the latest development is Major Archbishop Moran Mar Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal of Trivandrum. The head of the Syro-Malankara Church, another Kerala-based Oriental-rite Church, said some vested interests had “severely maligned” the retreat center, which has won respect from people of all religions. The final outcome proved again that truth will triumph, he added. Trivandrum is the former name of Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital.
K.M. Mani, a former Kerala minister and a Catholic, hailed the Supreme Court verdict as recognition of the Divine Retreat Centre´s services.
INDIA: Catholic retreat centre accused of mass killings, rape, etc.
http://www.alliancesupport.org/news/archives/002321.html
EXTRACT
By Rory Connor, May 23, 2008
After two years of controversy, the Indian Supreme Court recently quashed a case by the police in Kerala (South India) against a Catholic Retreat centre. The charges against the centre were based on an anonymous letter and included causing 974 “unnatural deaths”, rape, foreign exchange violations and running an unlicensed hospital! The reality behind the witch-hunt is a claim by Hindu radicals that the Vincentian priests who run the Retreat centre are engaged in the large scale conversion of Hindus. The (presumable) reality behind the false murder claims is that the care of AIDS patients is one of the many charitable activities carried out by the Vincentians.
QUOTE: “Our investigations have revealed that the Divine center is involved in large-scale religious conversions,” Rajasekharan added. Other allegations against the center, he added, include murder and money laundering. He said his front would continue the campaign against the retreat center until it folds up.
As far as I know Hindu radicals are not known for running hospitals or caring for widows and AIDS patients. In that they resemble their anti-clerical counterparts in Ireland. The latter have also made numerous false murder allegations against the Catholic Church and especially against the Christian Brothers, whose particular vocation is to serve the poor.
(A) Court Quashes Inquiry Into World’s Largest Retreat Centre in Kerala
“The Tablet”, by Anto Akkara, 12 April 2008
Supporters and associates of the Divine Retreat Centre in southern Kerala state, believed to be the largest retreat centre in the world, are jubilant after the quashing by the federal Supreme Court of a controversial case against the centre.
“This is a holy place and it is a shame that police have been conducting such an inquiry against it at the orders of the [Kerala] court,” P. Aravindakshan, a Hindu who attended a week-long retreat at the Catholic centre in mid-March, told The Tablet.
Upholding the plea on behalf of the centre, run by Vincentian priests, the highest Indian court ruled that the inquiry ordered by Kerala High Court against the centre, on the basis of an anonymous letter by a former woman resident and allegations of 974 “unnatural” deaths, was illegal. The two-year high-level police inquiry led by a Special Investigation Team of 50 police officers was accordingly quashed.
“We are happy this headache is over,” Fr Mathew Thadathil, administrator of the centre, said. Fr Thadathil was made to under-go a DNA test to disprove a rape charge against him.
(B) Supreme Court Halts Probe into Kerala Retreat Centre
Khaleej Times Online, by our correspondent, 12 March 2008
Trivandrum
– The Supreme Court yesterday ordered an end to the investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment, mysterious deaths and foreign exchange violations levelled against Muringoor Divine Centre, Asia’s largest Catholic retreat centre, in Trichur district of Kerala.
A division bench comprising Justice S.H. Kapadia and Justice Sudarshan Reddy directed the special investigation team constituted by the high court under Inspector General of Police Vincent M. Paul to stop all proceedings.
The direction came on an appeal filed by centre director Fr John Panackal against the high court order initiating suo motu proceedings on an anonymous letter complaining about criminal and anti-social activities taking place at the centre.
The apex court pointed out that as per section 482 of criminal procedure code, the Kerala High Court has no right to entrust a special team to order a probe against the Divine Centre based on an anonymous letter.
The division bench observed that the court could do so in special circumstances with the approval of the Chief Justice. The judges have directed the SIT to hand over the report about the investigations so far to the local circle inspector.
The police had filed criminal charges against 10 top officials of the centre, including Fr Panackal, centre administrator, Father Mathew Thadathil, a nun and seven others.
The charges were criminal conspiracy, wrongful confinement, voluntarily causing harm with dangerous weapons, poisoning and tampering with evidence.
The first information report (FIR) filed by the SIT cited 974 unnatural deaths in the centre between 1996 and 2006. It alleged that the centre had forged documents to make the deaths natural. The bodies were disposed off without informing local police. The dead included several young men and women.
The Kerala Catholic Bishops Conference (KCBC) has hailed the Supreme Court judgment terming it a victory of truth and justice. A KCBC spokesman said that the charges levelled against the centre were the result of a well-planned move to malign the centre serving the poor.
Police break bible racket in Kerala
http://www.ucanews.com/2009/11/24/police-break-bible-racket-in-kerala/
Thiruvananthapuram, November 24, 2009
Kerala police say they have broken a bible-smuggling racket that has been selling copies of the book on the black market. “They stole bibles from the printer and sold them at knocked-down prices,” senior police official Vinson Paul told UCA News. “It was a thriving business.”
Police arrested and charged Selva Raj, 36, on Nov. 23 following a complaint from the Kerala Catholic Bishop’s Council (KCBC). The council had been tipped off by Church people that the bible KCBC was selling for 100 rupees was available on the streets for 70 rupees. But Raj, who had 30 bibles on him, was “only a salesman who may be getting 10 rupees a copy,” Paul said. “He is only the end of long chain” in which hundreds may be involved, he added.
Police suspect the racket has been going on for years and that some of the printer’s employees are involved. “The investigation is progressing,” Paul said.
The bishops have a standing contract with Divine Printing Press to print copies of the Malayalam-language bible. Each print order is for a minimum of 100,000 copies, and some years they had ordered two extra print-runs.
The press is owned and managed by Divine Retreat Center, run by Vincentian priests. KCBC spokesman Father Stephen Alathara said he suspects some managers and workers helped print more copies and smuggle them out. The KCBC Bible Commission, headed by Bishop George Punnakottil of Kothamangalam, has been campaigning to make the Bible available in every Catholic family.
He said the Church has no means to identify the smuggled bibles because they and the official ones look the same in every respect.
SIT findings point to major irregularities
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/20166
By Anil S., New Indian Express, Kochi, December 19, 2009
The Special Investigation Team probing the allegations raised against the Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor, (DRCM) has revealed major irregularities in the functioning of the centre.
The authorities of the institution had come under fire following allegations of sexual offences, missing of persons under mysterious circumstances, nepotism by certain officials and inflow of funds in violation of foreign exchange regulations.
Nearly a year after the Supreme Court quashed the SIT, therefore nullifying its findings, the findings of the SIT have come out, indicating high-level misappropriations at the DRCM.
The SIT, headed by IG Vinson M Paul, which was constituted as per a directive issued by the Kerala High Court, was later quashed by the SC citing certain technical reasons.
The SIT investigations into missing persons cases, unnatural deaths and sexual offences have revealed that “unauthorised stupefying drugs were administered on the inmates for various reasons, in support of which the sleuths have gathered evidences.
Following the administration of the drugs, some of the inmates were reported to have lost their lives, while some others went mentally ill,” said the report.
One of the widely discussed incidents probed by the SIT was the missing of Celine Lopez, 35, of Alappuzha, from the DRCM, who was serving as a caretaker there. The case was first investigated by the Koratty Police.
“During the investigation, the SIT collected evidence sufficient enough to suspect that Celine was having physical intimacy with a person at the DRCM and got pregnant from that relationship.
On August 22, 2000, Celine reportedly requested the in-charge of the old-age home at the DRCM to allow her to go home, apparently forced by certain developments at the Centre. Subsequently, Celine went missing under mysterious circumstances,” stated the SIT report.
Experts point out that though the SIT was quashed by the SC, there was scope for a fresh investigation into the case. Earlier, relatives of Celine had approached the court seeking a CBI enquiry into the case.
“Those who were running the DRCM were reportedly administering stupefying drugs on persons who turned violent and on those who disobeyed their instructions,” the report stated.
Police told to restart Retreat Centre Probe

https://www.ucanews.com/2010/01/18/police-told-to-restart-retreat-center-probe/
January 18, 2010
The High Court of Kerala has told police to restart a probe into a leading charismatic center in the southern Indian state.
The investigation into the Divine Retreat Centre managed by the Vincentian congregation was launched in 2007 but halted by India’s Supreme Court in March 2008.
Now Justice Sashidharan Nambiar of the state’s High Court has told the police to continue to investigate all cases not specifically closed by the Supreme Court.
The inquiry was originally sparked by an anonymous letter accusing the center of being implicated in a series of crimes and irregularities.
The Supreme Court criticized the lower court for ordering the probe based on an anonymous letter.
The new inquiry follows an application by Venugopal Kalarcode, a Hindu, who claimed that the Church center illegally treats mental patient without proper facilities.
Saji Raphael, the retreat center’s legal consultant, says the claims are the result of a conspiracy. “We are not scared about police investigation. There is conspiracy behind all these legal battles,” Raphael told UCA News Jan. 17.
But he described the High Court’s latest order as surprising and said the Church center would challenge it.
The retreat center, he said, draws around 10,000 people from all religions for its weeklong retreats. The new development is “part of an ongoing media campaign against the reputed retreat center,” he charged.
Father Paul Thelakat, spokesperson of the Syro-Malabar Church under whose jurisdiction the retreat center functions, says there is nothing wrong in continuing the probe. “We welcome investigations against any of our institutions. But they should be conducted in a fair manner,” he told UCA News.
Supreme Court puts an end to Retreat Center probe

March 1, 2010
The Supreme Court has ordered police to wind up all investigations against the Divine Retreat Centre in Potta, Kerala.
The Supreme Court on Friday [Feb. 26] said investigations against the Centre are “not maintainable under law” and ordered an end to all police investigation into it, including allegations of rape and murder.
The probe originally began in 2007 after an anonymous letter was sent to the Kerala state High Court alleging a series of crimes and irregularities. It was halted by the Supreme Court in March 2008.
However, in January the state court ordered police to renew its inquiry against the center. That order came on a public interest litigant from one Venugopal Kalarcode, who said the Supreme Court had stopped the investigation only in one case. The retreat center then approached the Supreme Court, which elicited the latest verdict.
Father Augustine Vallooran, who directs the center, welcomed the ruling, saying it helped remove suspicion against the center.
Saji Raphael, the center’s legal consultant, said the Supreme Court has cleared the center from a “mudslinging campaign” by the media. “God has heard the prayers of thousands who come here for retreats,” he told UCA News.

Maybe the police should consider reopening their investigations and consult with their counterparts here in Australia. The same order have cases before the courts here today.

Thiruvananthapuram, July 4, 2010
In a move that has raised many eyebrows, the Cyber Cell of Kerala police on Saturday arrested the Chief Editor of the much popular CRIME magazine T P Nandakumar charging him with defaming an NRI through his portal crimenewsonline.com.
“He has been arrested on the basis of a complaint given by an NRI. It has been alleged that the portal accused the NRI of money swindling and running a sex racket. He is now in custody and searches are going on to retrieve evidence from the computer,” said deputy SP Cyber Cell Sukumara Pillai. Asked if the police had verified the veracity of the claims made by the portal, he said a case could have been registered against the NRI in the state had there been any truth in the charge.
A fiery journalist, Nandakumar was an eyesore for politcians of all hues and many religious leaders because of his sensational stories. He was responsible for bringing to life the SNC Lavlin case allegedly involving CPM party secretary Pinarayi Vijayan. It was on his PIL that the Kerala High Court ordered a CBI probe in the case culminating in the agency chargesheeting Vijayan. His office was even ransacked soon after the magazine published stories of the scandal in 2001.
Nandakumar’s case against this is currently pending before a court.
Though detractors classify him as a pulp journalist, the fact remains that the mainstream media was forced to pick up many of his stories. Some of these include the Kozhikode Ice cream parlour sex racket expose, which shook the then Congress-led UDF government with the news report linking Muslim League leader P K Kunjalikutty to it. The Left utilised the report to hit the UDF hard.
CRIME had also carried stories against CPM leader M. A. Baby accusing him of financial irregularities. Baby went to court accusing Nandakumar of defaming him. The case is pending trial.
The weekly magazine created a stir in the political circles accusing that Congress leader Shobana George was behind a fake intelligence document that linked her party colleague and Union minister K V Thomas to a hawala racket.
“Investigative reports” by the magazine against a Church-run Divine Retreat Centre in the state had also lead to high-level inquiry and High Court intervention.
More recently, Nandakumar also ran a series of stories against PDP leader and Bangalore blasts accused Abdul Nasser Madani and also IPS officer Tomin J Thachankary, against whom the Union home ministry has ordered a probe by the National Investigation Agency for allegedly meeting certain terror suspects during his visit to Qatar in January this year.
Divine Retreat Centre Director Sues Businessman

Kochi, February 16, 2011
A Catholic priest in Kerala has sued a Muslim businessman for defamation.
Father George Panackal, who directs the Divine Retreat Centre in the southern Indian state, has demanded an unconditional apology from K.A. Rauf for alleging that he accepted money to hush up a sex scandal.
Rauf is a relative of P.K. Kunhalikutty, a former minister who faces several sex abuse cases.
Rauf told media yesterday that Kunhalikutty had sought Father Panackal’s help to silence a person who was a regular visitor to the center. The businessman alleged that Kunhalikutty, then a prominent minister in the state cabinet, paid 100,000 (US$2,200) rupees to the priest for this.
Father Panackal has denied all allegations and asked Rauf to apologize within three days. The Marxist-led state government has ordered a police investigation into Rauf’s allegations.
The indigenous Vincentian Congregation manages the center, which attracts thousands of people for its weekly retreats.

Kochi, March 16, 2011
India’s Supreme Court has slammed the Kerala state government for re-ordering a probe into a Catholic charismatic retreat center.
Three years ago, the Supreme Court threw out a slew of allegations, including rape and murder, against people working at the Divine Retreat Centre in Muringoor.
The Kerala-based Vincentian Congregation manages the Catholic spirituality center.
The court also ordered the disbandment of a special team established by the Kerala High Court to probe the allegations against what is believed to be the largest Catholic retreat center in Asia.
Father George Panackal, who directs the center, appealed to the Supreme Court after the Kerala High Court ordered the new investigation.
The lower court acted on a petition brought by Kalarcod Venugopalan Nair.
The court then sought the opinion of the state government and Kerala’s director general of police, Govindan Nair, told the court there were still cases pending against the Catholic center when, in fact, there were none.
The Supreme Court yesterday demanded an explanation from the Kerala government’s lawyer outlining why Govindan Nair gave a false and misleading statement to the High Court, calling his actions “a serious matter.”
It also directed Kalarcod Venugopalan Nair, the petitioner, to back off or face punishment for wasting the court’s time.
State Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said he has told his department to rectify matters.
The minister also directed his department to investigate why Govindan Nair gave a false statement in court.
Govindan Nair died in June 2010.
Father Panackal said some groups still want to tarnish the center’s image despite the Supreme Court ruling.

Supreme Court of India slams Kerala state for targeting Muringoor Retreat center-GCIC welcomes
New Delhi, March 17, 2011
The Supreme Court today directed the Kerala State to withdraw the re-investigation plea in the case against Muringoor Divine Centre in Thrissur. The Court had earlier cancelled the case against the centre.
The Court said the State had misinterpreted the High Court that the case still exists. The Court harshly criticized government’s action. The Supreme Court also directed to withdraw the petition seeking police probe into allegations against Centre, failing which strict action will be taken against the petitioner.
Earlier report:-
Earlier, the High Court had directed the Government to constitute a special investigation team (SIT) headed by Vinson M. Paul, to probe into various allegations, including sexual exploitation of women against the Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor. Justice K. Padmanabhan Nair had ordered that the SIT should inquire into the allegation of foreign exchange violations by the centre and alleged unnatural death that took place in and around the centre during the past two years.
He ordered that the team be constituted within two weeks.
The direction came on an anonymous letter complaining about criminal and anti-social activities taking place at the centre. After initiating suo motu proceedings on the basis of the letter, the court had received a complaint from a woman detained at the District Jail, Kozhikode
She was detained in the jail in connection with a theft in the centre. She alleged that in the past two years, a number of dead bodies were found on the National Highway and the railway track near the centre. According to her, these deaths were not deaths due to accidents.
She, in her complaint, said that the bodies were buried in the public ground. The keeper of the burial ground had once objected to bringing dead bodies having injuries. He was found dead in mysterious circumstances within two months. Women coming to the centre were being sexually exploited by the priest at the centre, she alleged.
The court said that the investigation into the complaint of the woman was in cold storage. The attempt of the investigation officers was to exonerate the accused and make the complainant as accused.
The Court ordered appointment of a senior officer in view of the allegations that senior IAS and IPS officers were associating with the functioning of the centre. The court also made it clear that it was open to the SIT to resort to scientific methods such as polygraph test, brain mapping and DNA finger printing.
The State Information Commission (SIC) had asked the police top brass to provide a copy of the report of the investigation into the alleged misdeeds at Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor in Thrissur district to a human rights activist who sought the report under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.
On a directive by the High Court, a police team headed by Inspector General Vincent M. Paul had carried out an investigation into a host of allegations of irregularities at the popular Christian faith-healing centre. The report of the investigation was submitted to the High Court and the Supreme Court.
Hindus welcome Catholic retreat ruling. Supreme Court bars further probes into Divine Retreat Centre
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/KonkaniCatholics/conversations/topics/24372
http://www.ucanews.com/2011/03/30/hindus-welcome-catholic-retreat-ruling/
Kochi, March 30, 2011
Hindus joined Christians today in welcoming a Supreme Court decision quashing all cases against a Catholic charismatic center in Kerala, southern India.
“I know many priests and volunteers at the center. All the allegations against it are wild and based on fantasies,” said Manikian Unnikrishnan, a Hindu who stays near the Divine Retreat Centre, Asia’s largest charismatic prayer center in Muringoor. Unnikrishnan was reacting to a Supreme Court order yesterday instructing Kerala police to end all investigations into the conduct of the center.
The Vincentian Congregation manages the center that offers weekly retreats in seven languages attended by more than 12,000 people.
It also manages with the help of around 1,200 volunteers several charity homes, including a home for people with AIDS.
It has been plagued in recent years by allegations of murder, rape and foreign exchange violations.
Unnikrishnan said he knows many priests and volunteers at the center and never believed the allegations.
“One was that more than 900 people had died at the center over the past 10 years. That’s not surprising since the center cares for people with HIV/AIDS and other terminal illness,” he explained.
Sudha Narayanan, another Hindu, said the court order was right. “I have visited the center many times. The allegations were all false,” she said.
Father George Panackal, who directs the center, said the court order means all charges have been dropped.
“Finally God has rewarded us for our pain and prayers. It’s a happy moment for all of us,” he said.
According to the priest, the continual controversies were hindering the center’s work. “We have lost precious time and resources fighting against the forces of darkness,” he lamented.
He also criticized a section of the media for running “motivated campaigns” that “tarnished the center’s image.”
Father Panackal also said the controversies had hurt thousands of their admirers all over the world who have offered prayers and support through emails and phone calls.

JUNE 2nd – DIVINE SOLIDARITY DAY
Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 17:03:28 +0530 From: Manoj Sunny jyio@jesusyouth.org
Reply-To: Manoj Sunny manojsunny@jesusyouth.org
To:
joynet@jesusyouth.org
Dear Joynetters,
I am writing this for a very important purpose. We had a few discussions regarding the continuing persecutions towards Divine retreat centre – all of us think it is high time we expressed our solidarity to them.
We want to express our concern in two ways
1. By sending a letter showing our support
2. By conducting a fasting and prayer day on June 2nd all over the world as a ‘Divine Solidarity Day’.
So we will keep next Saturday as a day of prayer.
I am attaching the official statement from the Divine Retreat Centre regarding the recent developments.
In Jesus and Mary,
Manoj Sunny, Jesus Youth International Coordinator.
Dearly Beloved in Christ,
Greetings of Peace and Joy from the Divine Retreat Centre!
It is an hour of great personal trial for us here at the Centre. In the recent past there has been much negative propagation and accusations against the Divine Retreat Centre. We approach you with what is perhaps our responsibility at this moment to explain the truth of our situation even as we need your presence and encouragement with us to pursue our service in the Church.
The Divine Retreat Center belongs to the Vincentian Congregation and has been functioning according to the direction and guidance of the Church authorities. The Retreat Centre is committed to preach the Word of God and also to take care of the less fortunate brethren abandoned by society. We have always kept our doors open to welcome and to care for the poor and the marginalized. At the moment we are looking after 100 AIDS patients, 450 mentally ill patients, 250 people with acute problems of addictions, 50 terminally ill patients, 200 elderly men and women abandoned by their families, 300 orphaned children and quite a few financially broken families. Altogether there are 3000 individuals rejected by society but received in, housed and cared for here at the Divine Retreat Centre.
We were always aware that, because of our identification with the proclamation of the Gospel, communal forces have been working against us. Especially because of the bold stand we have taken in our retreats against all forms of social injustice, corruption, alcoholism and drug addiction and exploitation against the poor, there are many anti-social forces that have joined hands to destabilize the Centre.
From the very beginning, in the functioning of the Divine Retreat Centre we can in all sincerity say that we have been totally transparent to the ecclesiastical and civil authorities as well as to the general public. On 25 March, 2006 the High Court of Kerala ordered an enquiry which interestingly was on the basis of an anonymous letter possibly framed by a local group with vested interests on the instigation of a powerful communal organization. Still as we have nothing to hide we accepted the enquiry with an open mind. After vigorous investigation over thirteen months, the police investigation team could not even produce a single FIR against us in the court. However the Retreat Centre was kept constantly under the surveillance of the police. Many people working for the Retreat Centre were called in for questioning.
Again sudden police raids were held on two weekends in the Centre in September-October 2006. This move had come under fire even in the Kerala Assembly. We were deeply grieved at the outcome of these raids – the unfair and incorrect media reports, the disrespectful and disturbing handling of the AIDS-affected and Mentally-Challenged residents by the police, the rash reports about the medical care and the disturbance of the retreat schedule, that week there being a special children’s gospel program.
For how long could we continue under such pressures of the police enquiry?
Therefore we felt that there should be a time limit for this police interference in the daily functioning of the Retreat Centre. We approached the Supreme Court with the prayer that if there are no objective evidences against the Retreat Centre, the Order of the High Court should be given a stay. This petition was admitted by the Supreme Court. The police investigation team and the Kerala Government were served notices stating that a response should be filed by them in four weeks. As records reveal exactly 8 hours after the investigation team receive the notice, they had an FIR registered against the
Retreat Centre in a hurry, at the unearthly hour of 10 p.m., without respect to the truth or facts.
The FIR contains shockingly incorrect and vague and sweeping allegations. Now to point out a few of the glaring faults that stand out in the allegations highlighted in the FIR. One case registered, for example, is the death of a sick person Neena Govindavan. The postmortem report of the said deceased states, in no uncertain terms, that she had died of the defect of the heart valve. This report is with the police as well as with us. And yet the police team declares that there is something unusual in the death with absolutely no evidence to that effect! Inspite of taking care of this sick person till her last, we have been accused of causing her death. Notably in this as in all the other cases there has not been a single complaint from family members or relatives of those who have been under our care till their death.
The second very shocking allegation in the FIR is that 974 people have died in the Retreat Centre under ‘shady circumstances’. Firstly we need to clarify that this number of the record of those who have died was not the revelation of police investigation but is what the Retreat Centre has on its own records!
The people are shocked by the extensive and exaggerated media reports that the Retreat Centre has caused the unnatural deaths of this number. In our AIDS home itself we have cared for more than 1000 people in the last 10 years. Most of them came here in the last stages and have passed away in a natural and holy death. Similarly over time in our Homes for the terminally ill and the aged we have provided solace for those who have passed away. Moreover, an average of two lakh people come here for retreats every year. Among them there are a lot of sick people who are abandoned by medical science and are in their last stages of life due to incurable diseases like cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, AIDS etc. In fact some of them come here with the specific intention of dying a peaceful death. The details of all these deaths are registered by the Retreat Centre itself with the Melur panchayat office. Their complete details and addresses are kept at the office of the Centre as well. It is the natural death of these persons that the media has reported in such an absurd and evil manner. The fact that we have been able to take care of these abandoned and pained individuals and be of some assistance to them in the moments of their death is a matter of great joy for us. The deaths of these 974 people have been a matter of priestly satisfaction, that when they were abandoned by their own, we could reach out to them to give them the comfort of the Word of God and the grace of the Holy Sacraments.
A third allegation is that strong psychiatric drugs have been administered with ulterior and diabolic motives, without correct supervision and that a calculated destructive agenda has been followed in the administration of these drugs, causing mental imbalance and even death. Here we need to present clear facts. Firstly, at the Divine Care Home for the Mentally Challenged all the residents are studied and their medication is prescribed by a qualified team that includes one resident doctor, two visiting psychiatrists and a host of nurses and paramedical staff. Secondly, the medication that is administered has been certified to be of the mildest degree because we depend on alternate therapies of prayer, community activity and counseling. The local group with antisocial and vested interests, who wanted to malign the Retreat Center, had already some months earlier brought an allegation against Fr. Mathew Thadathil, one of our young and promising priests. Not only is this committed dynamic priest the Administrator of the entire Centre, he is also the Director of the Divine Care Home for the Mentally Challenged. The group brought a woman who alleged that Fr. Mathew Thadathil had sexually molested and raped her and as a result of which she was pregnant. Most interestingly this lady had been serving a jail term for theft at the time of this allegation in the Calicut jail! Still as per the direction of the High Court the police team made a thorough investigation, even taking recourse to a DNA test and came to the conclusion that all the allegations were totally false.
Inspite of this fact, it is a matter of concern that there was no effort on the part of the police to question the responsibility of the group that raised such atrocious allegations. It was when this group and their allies failed in their attempts to malign the priest and the Centre that they have come forward in an concerted attempt with another bold and evil allegation of ‘mysterious deaths’.
We are deeply grieved by the adverse impact all this has had on the Church and its work of the proclamation and on the faith of the people. The media, instead of standing up for justice and truth, has unfortunately become the tool in the hands of the communal and anti-social alliances. We want to remind the media that they have the moral responsibility to expose the evil powers trying to destroy the humanitarian institutions which are the refuge of the marginalized and the voiceless. Our call to the media is to make an honest soul-searching, to see if they have adopted a mature attitude to the Divine
Retreat Centre. The Church and the society are deeply hurt by the untoward action of the police officers and the irresponsible attitude of the media. There has been a very calculated move on the part of the communal forces to shut down this house of prayer by raising false allegations and instigating communal tensions. We believe the truth will succeed and the allegations will be proved false.
We are aware that being a witness of Christ shall bring along with its many rewards, persecution too. We do understand that we have been considered worthy to suffer for the name of Jesus. We believe that in our tears and pain the Church shall be blessed. But we earnestly request your presence with us in our struggle against this shocking menace of powerful groups that propagate hatred and selfish interests. This threatens to shake the very foundations of democracy and the freedom to practice and work for our faith even in this State where Christians not only render extensive service but also are considerable in terms of numbers. We count on your prayers and support in this hour that we may stand firm with the Lord to persevere in our service to the least of our brethren and to face these false allegations with the courage of the witnesses of the faith that the Church boasts of right through the ages.
Yours in Christ Jesus,

Dear Joynetters
As mentioned in my earlier mail with regard to the persecutions faced by the Divine Retreat Centre and the need to express our support to them, I am glad to inform you that Fr. James Anaparambil (Animator, JY Int’l Team), Raiju Varghese (Former Coordinator JY India), Siljo Thomas (Coordinator JY India), and myself went to Divine today and met with Rev. Fr. Augustine Vallooran. The main intention of the meeting was to express the support and concern shared by all the Jesus Youth around the world. We also gave them a letter expressing the same (The text of the letter is given below).
We have informed Fr. Vallooran about the decision to observe 2nd June as ‘Divine Solidarity Day’ by Jesus Youth in different countries. A special prayer (which is being prepared) will also be prayed by everyone beginning 2nd June till this crisis is resolved. Please do take all efforts to come together and pray for Divine and the needs of all those who are being persecuted and maligned there. I will be sending you the ‘Prayer for Divine’ in the coming days.
In Jesus and Mary, Manoj Sunny, Jesus Youth International Coordinator.
30th May 2007
Dear Fathers and all our dear brothers and sisters at Divine Retreat Centre, Muringoor,
All of us from Jesus Youth, our Priest Animators, animating families and active Jesus Youth all over the world, offer our heartfelt prayers to the Lord at this time of severe trial of Divine Retreat Centre. We want to assure you of our support and companionship in these troubled times.
We remember with immense gratitude to the Lord, that during the past so many years He has been raising Divine Retreat Centre as a rampart of hope and refuge for hundreds of thousands of people of all races and creeds. The numerous initiatives that have emerged out of the Centre have transformed not only the face of the Church, but have done much to transform the culture and lifestyle of the society at large.
Our own Jesus Youth movement and its various ministries have benefited immensely from the wellsprings of the graces poured out through Divine. Many of our major gatherings found their home at the Centre and our Cultural Exchange Programme year after year began with a week retreat there. Most of our leaders in India and abroad somehow have had a close relationship with Divine. All the wonderful people there are very close to our hearts.
In this background of the enduring fruits of Kingdom that emanate from Divine, the recent attempts of persecution and seeming witch-hunting from different quarters cause extreme pain to all of us. Instead of diminishing with the passage of time, these trials seem to be on the increase day by day. This indeed is extremely disturbing to all of us and we want to assure you all our prayerful companionship.
As a first visible gesture of our close walk with you, Jesus Youth all over the world are observing 2nd June 2007 as “Divine Solidarity Day”. We will be gathering together prayerfully in different centres and will be spending time for reflection and intercession for the Divine Retreat Centre and its leaders. We will also be taking time to gently highlight the immense good the Lord is doing through the Centre and how there are concerted efforts from certain quarters to malign this great work of the Lord. Assuring you all once again our immense appreciation and fervent prayers
For the Jesus Youth International Team

We ended the gathering with an adoration and rosary procession. Please continue to pray the common prayer.
Shelton has prepared a write up of the sharing of Fr Panackal and the statement from Divine. We hope this will be helpful for knowing the truth. Please forward this content to your friends and acquaintances so that people see beyond the lies and the half truths about Divine Retreat Centre that is propagated in the media.

DIVINE RETREAT CENTRE – What the media says. And what it doesn’t.
What the media says:
The investigation finds that 974 persons have died in Divine Retreat Centre under shady circumstances.
What it doesn’t:
1) This number was not a hidden fact discovered by the investigation team, but what has always been on the records of the Divine Retreat Centre. In fact, each death has been registered in the Melur Panchayat records.
2) The AIDS home alone has cared for more than 1000 AIDS patients over the last ten years and most of them have come in their last stages, always cast away from their family and friends, seeking a place to die with acceptance and dignity.
3) An average of 2 lakh persons come for retreats every year. And many among them are terminally ill due to diseases like cancer, cirrhosis of the liver and AIDS. And many of them come with a specific intention of a peaceful death.
4) These 974 people who would have died hopeless and alone spend their final moments in the presence of God.
5) The post mortem report of Ms. Neena Govindavan, whose death the police allege as unusual, states clearly that she died from a defect of the heart valve. And the report is with the Divine Centre as well as with the police.
What the media says:
The raids in Divine Retreat Centre following the High court enquiry immediately resulted in an FIR.
What it doesn’t:
1. After vigorous investigation and harassment over 13 months the police could not even file a single FIR.
2. The current FIR was filed only when the Supreme Court served a notice to the Police asking them to file a response in four weeks or drop the case.
3. The FIR was hastily filed exactly eight hours after they received the notice, at an unearthly hour of 10 p.m.
4. The entire enquiry was prompted by no individual with specific allegations by an anonymous letter possibly framed on the instigation of a powerful communal organization.
What the media says:
Local groups have come up with allegations against Fr. Mathew Thadathil of Divine Retreat Centre of sexually molesting a woman and making her pregnant.
What it doesn’t:
1. The lady who is alleged to be involved was discovered to be serving a term in Calicut jail during the time the alleged crime was committed.
2. In spite of that, the police team made a thorough investigation, conducted even a DNA test and found that the allegation was totally false and cooked up.
3. No police action was taken against the persons or the group who made such atrocious allegations to deliberately malign the Divine Retreat Centre and this dynamic young priest who is the Director of the entire centre and Director of the Divine Care Home for the Mentally Challenged.
What the media says:
There are allegations of ‘shady’ activities happening in Divine Retreat Centre Muringoor.
What it doesn’t:
1. Divine Retreat Centre is transparent to everyone and people of all castes communities and religions are welcomed to the retreats without any prejudices whatsoever.
2. Divine Retreat Centre has always taken care of the less fortunate brethren abandoned by society.
3. Currently the Centre cares for 100 AIDS patients, 450 mentally ill patients, 250 people with acute problems of addictions, 50 terminally ill patients, 200 elderly men and women abandoned by their families, 300 orphaned children and quite a few financially broken families.
3. In all, there are 3000 individuals rejected by society, but received in and cared for at the Divine retreat Centre.
In Jesus, Manoj Sunny

US citizen Bruce Phillipowsky exposes “Doctor” Dominic Dixon
The contents of this web page https://www.dominicdixon.net/falseprophets (EXPOSING FAKE “CATHOLIC APOLOGIST” & FRAUD, Michael Prabhu and his illicit partner & false prophet Francis Sunil Lobo!) of Dominic Dixon has also been seen by me on WhatsApp. It is a feeble attempt by the fake doctorate and jailed pedophile to defend his name and image by maligning me and one of the many individuals, (they include his own relatives), who of their own accord approached me and helped me expose Dixon.
Dixon doesn’t name Bruce Phillipowsky, the U.S. relative whose minor son he sexually molested and for which crime he was expatriated to the US from Canada, jailed in the US and deported from Canada. It is Phillipowsky who provided this ministry with court records. It is Phillipowsky, not us, who wrote to the U.N. and whose response we published categorically denying Dixon’s purported affiliation with the UN*.
His ramblings are truly not worth rebutting point by point as we have already done so WITH DOCUMENTATION in our earlier exposés and reports.
For a claimed several-times-over “doctorate” with multiple Masters degrees, his English continues to be atrocious and pitiable beginning with the headline (“illicit partner”…? “perpetrators in the Catholic Church”?) Dixon cannot produce even a high school leaving certificate leave alone a graduate certificate or that of a Master’s or a Doctorate. He is not only a sexual deviant but also a highly-evolved con artiste.
I repeat that all the logos (U.N., Oxford, Harvard, etc.) used by Dixon are fake; they are sourced from the Internet by Dixon and pasted on his web pages. Ken Gnanakan, a Protestant whose letter Dixon reproduces on the referred web page, is the only real person among those whose letters are published by Dixon in support of him, and that too is in retaliation for my having exposed his (Gnanakan’s) association with Dixon.
*The letter from the UN is on page 4, pages 6-8 of my report http://ephesians-511.net/docs/UNITED_NATIONS_AGENCY_DISTANCES_ITSELF_FROM_DOMINIC_DIXON.doc.
On the video at the above-referred web page of Dixon’s, every image shown — our photographs against a newspaper background — is painstakingly arranged and doctored by Dixon to give credibility to his spin. The photograph of me is copy-pasted by him from a file on my own web site.
All of the other testimonials criticizing/condemning me are anonymous. They are written by Dixon. In the past too, he could never furnish a single name of those whom he quoted concerning me.
He talks about taking me to court and filing cases against me. If he was worth taking legal action against (he is reportedly broke), we can do the same on just two of several counts:
-His claim that I faked my own death and that my wife made money (Rs. 11 lakhs) out of it;
-His claim that Francis Sunil Lobo was asked by TCS to resign from his service there because of a cybercrime case filed against him by Dixon.
Lobo was not asked to leave TCS. He simply changed his employer, VERY LONG AFTER Dixon contacted TCS to complain that Lobo was guilty of contributing to “communal disharmony” on https://ephesians511blog.com/, his blog. TCS simply ignored the calls made to them by Dixon.
As for my faking my death on my web site, there isn’t and never was any mention of my death on www.ephesians-511.net which is the link to my web site. If it wasn’t ever there, how could it be modified as Dixon claims. The referred item was posted on the ephesians511 blog on April 1, 2017, and was never modified or edited as Dixon falsely claims. For those who don’t know, the First of April is April Fools’ Day. The original post along with a few readers’ comments still stands as far as I know.
On the above-referred web page Dixon claims that my wife collected “over 11 lakhs” towards my fake funeral expenses (pretty expensive “funeral” that!)

Dear Mr. Mejia,
Concerning one Dominic Dixon, on May 12, 2017, you had written to Mr. Bruce Phillipowsky in the USA:
Please note that Mr. Dixon is not an employee, is not professionally associated to, and is not affiliated in any way with, the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). Our Institute has not granted any authorisation to Mr. Dixon to represent us or to present himself as affiliated to us.
Also, it is our understanding that Mr. Dixon has no formal or legal relationship with our affiliated training centre CIFAL in Bengaluru. We have also alerted them of this matter and they have informed us that he was an honorary adviser in the past with no remuneration or contractual relationship, and that they are no longer interacting with him since he moved to Vienna.
Nevertheless, we will request our affiliated training centre in Bengaluru to ensure that Mr. Dixon does not associate himself to our institutions, as we do not have a relationship with him and find the information shared as disconcerting and not suitable of a person that would like to work with the United Nations. We uphold the highest human values and our staff members are only persons of integrity. I do not know about Mr. Dixon’s past and do not want to issue judgment on him, but will certainly conduct a thorough investigation on this matter.
However, even after six months, he is still there proudly posing on the CIFAL-UNITAR site flaunting all his fake doctorates; he is not even a middle-school pass, apart from being a convicted pedophile (USA) and deportee (Canada). He has the full support of the Gnanakan family who run CIFAL-UNITAR
Could you kindly ensure that the Bangalore UNITAR unit immediately removes Dixon from this http://www.cifal-bangalore.org/team.html
and any other of its web pages?

“Dr.” Dominic Dixon
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2017 16:39:47 -0600
To whom it may concern:
I am writing to formally file a complaint with you for the actions of “Dr.” Dominic Dixon.
Dominic Dixon has committed illegal actions by doing conducting illegal background checks and putting it on the internet. On his website (https://www.dominicdixon.net/testimony) [SEE FURTHER BELOW] he has disclosed my personal information, including my age, address, full name, etc. Also he has made numerous false accusations against my family and myself. This man claims to be a member of the Bangalore UN (United Nations), which I find hard to believe given he is a convicted pedophile in the US and Canada.
Attached is a copy of the official complaint I have submitted to the United States FBI. Please take action and stop this criminal who is posing as a priest to get money from his parishioners.

Description of Incident – Provide a description of the incident and how you were victimized. Provide information not captured elsewhere in this complaint form.
To whom it may concern:
My family and myself have been victim to a series of false allegations and slander online by a man that claims to work for the United Nations. He is a convicted pedophile in the United States and Canada and has been deported from Canada to India. “Dr.” Dominic Dixon has been masquerading as a Christian faith healer and collecting money from elderly followers for years. In January 1995, Dominic Dixon molested my eldest son (who was 8 years old) in Des Moines, Iowa.
Upon discovering what he had done, a police report was filed, in the meantime he had moved back to Canada. He was extradited back to the US for trial, where he was convicted and fined.
The US deported him after 6 months in custody and Canada then in turn deported him to India. (Court records available) Recently, some of his parishioners found out about his pedophilia through a series of complaints from other children.
He tried to expunge his criminal record in Canada and failed. This has led him to now try to justify his innocence to his parishioners (from whom he takes money) to make my family and me the bad guys. He has invented numerous false stories about my family and me to prove his point, without a shred of documentation.
He has accredited himself with numerous doctorates from Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, UCLA, etc. When in reality since he failed 6th grade in India, I was the one who got him into a printer apprenticeship. He has also been illegally posing as a doctor and UN Ambassador, which I have reported to the UN, they have denied any knowledge of him being a part of the organization.
He also claims he is working for the Australian Secret Service.
He has accused my son of being a sleeper cell terrorist and rapist online.
He has illegally obtained background checks of my family and I and has made it public on the internet. (This includes my address, employment history, date of birth, etc.) He has illegally conducted background checks of my family and me and published it on the internet.
I am a 70 year old man with a pacemaker/defibrillator and cannot take this kind of abuse in my condition. Could you please help stop this criminal from spreading any more lies that endanger my family and myself.
Thank you,

The web page content of Dominic Dixon referred to in Bruce Phillipowsky’s complaint:
https://www.dominicdixon.net/testimony
One is hard put to figure out why Dixon calls this his “Testimony”.
At the top of that page (and many places else including the video) we find this header:
Dr. Dominic F. Dixon
Nation Building & Public Policy
His claim that some “United Nations body clears Dr. Dixon” is pure hogwash; in a previous report we have published a letter in which UNITAR Switzerland disowns having any truck with him. CIFAL-UNITAR Bangalore is an ancillary body that, having associated with him (their response also published by me), are now in denial. It is only a matter of time that he will be disowned by them too.
Phillipowsky accuses Dixon of photoshopping and criminal intimidation. Dixon has already attempted the latter with me and has also made a number of allegations that are a product of his criminal mind.
What’s next?
In the YouTube video at around 24:25, he states, “What the opinion of other people about me is none of my business“, then wastes his time trying to get across to viewers that Phillipowsky is himself a criminal. Phillipowsky has refuted the lies of Dixon who is with his back against the wall. He calls Phillipowsky “evil” while describing himself as “the apple of God’s eye”.
He claims that “This presentation and webpage is a rebuttal to the allegations made by Bruce Philipowsky (sic); and has been presented with the support of Bishops, Ministries, Government officials, Diplomatic community, legal officials, family and friends; who stand in solidarity with Dr. Dixon. Any future developments pertaining to this matter, will be collectively challenged by the above mentioned supporters.” Really?!?

Dr. Dominic F DIXON
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 11:17:12 -0600
Anupa,
I am writing this to you as “Dr” Dominic Dixon has mentioned you as a colleague on his website .I would like you to know the truth about “Dr” Dominic Dixon who has published a fictitious expose YouTube about me and my family. This is a revenge move because I have exposed him as a religious Con Man who has neither any qualifications or does he know all the people he pretends to know. He is related to my wife so I know him very, very well.
In 1995 Dominic Dixon was in the United States living in my house in Des Moines, Iowa, where he molested my eldest son, who was 8 years old at the time. He was extradited from Canada to stand trial in the United States, where he was convicted, sentenced to 6 months and deported back to Canada. Canada in turn deported him back to India. He now claims Canada has forgiven him and he is now living in Canada. (Please refer to the videos & Documents attached.) As this was hurting his pretense of being a Religious Con man he tried to get his record in Canada expunged. The Canadian Government refused to do this. (Document Attached). This is his revenge against me and my family!
Right now, he claims to be a Doctor with degrees from Harvard, UCLA, Cambridge and Oxford. In reality, he did not complete 6th Standard in St. Marys School, Chennai. As a Pedophile he cannot enter the US, Canada or UK so where did he get his Doctorates? So many of them????? I helped him to get an Apprenticeship in Siga Printing Press, Chennai. In the videos, he has made a number of false claims against my family and me as well as putting our lives in danger by releasing private information such as name, date of birth, address, and a photograph of my home on the internet. Also as this is a gross misuse of the Internet he should be stopped. His videos about cows in India will tell you about his moral character. He claims to know every Minister in India, the United Nations who have no knowledge of him, emails attached. He claims to know everyone in Australia as he is an Honorary MP in the Australian Cabinet. Nobody knows him … emails attached. He is a Con Man! We are trying to make his crimes known and to keep him from molesting other children in the disguise of a holy man who is a Doctor in 6 – 8 faculties. We are trying to prevent any future injuries to children by this criminal.
I have expressed my dismay that the United Nations would employ any convicted pedophile. He claims that his crimes are forgiven but you can see from the 2017 file records he has been refused to remove his criminal records. How can you forgive a pedophile that has ruined the life of a child? As you can see from the documentation below I have informed the Canadian Government, the FBI and the Investigations Division, Office of Internal Oversight Services (ID/OIOS). He is just a Conman who has photo shopped documents to accuse my family and myself of fictitious allegations against my family and me to hide his crimes and make a show for his congregation who are contributing to his existence.
You can see my proof is all based on actual verifiable Court Records. He should NOT be affiliated with the United Nation Training Center where he has access to children or adolescents.

ATTACHED DOCUMENT
Docket: IMM-916-98
BETWEEN:
DOMINIC FABIAN DIXON
Applicant
– and –
THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION
Respondent
REASONS FOR ORDER
RICHARD J.:
[1] The applicant has applied for a stay of execution of a deportation order which is to be executed on March 18, 1998.
[2] The applicant was landed in Canada on July 23, 1994.
[3] The applicant was ordered deported on March 19, 1997, at Edmonton, Alberta, due to his criminal conviction. The deportation order was issued pursuant to subsection 32(2) of the Immigration Act, because the adjudicator found the applicant to be a person described in sub-paragraph 27(1)(a)(i) of the Act because he is a permanent resident who has been convicted of an offence that, if committed in Canada, constitutes an offence that may be punishable under any Act of Parliament by a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years or more.
[4] The applicant was born on September 14, 1975, in India. He resides in Edmonton, Alberta. On October 30, 1995, he was convicted of Indecent Contact with a Child and received a suspended sentence of two years and fined $500.00. It was this offence that led to his deportation order. The offence occurred in February 1995.
[5] The legality of the deportation order is not challenged.
[6] The applicant appealed to the Immigration Appeal Division based on the grounds that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, he should not be removed from Canada under paragraph 70(1)(b) of the Immigration Act. The applicant was represented by counsel at the hearing held on December 2, 1997. The panel heard the testimony of three witnesses including the applicant. The applicant and respondent submitted several documents into evidence.
[7] In a decision dated January 28, 1998, the Appeal Division dismissed the appeal as follows:
The Appeal Division is of the opinion that the appellant has not been able to show why, in all the circumstances of this case, he should not be removed from Canada. The Appeal Division finds that there are insufficient mitigating circumstances in this case that warrant its exercise of special relief in this case. Accordingly, the appeal pursuant to paragraph 70(1) of the Act is dismissed both in law and in equity. |
|
[8] The applicant filed an application for leave and for judicial review of the IAD decision on March 3, 1998.
[9] The IAD’s decision is well-reasoned and deals with all relevant issues.
[10] In order to grant a stay, the applicant must satisfy the tripartite test.
[11] Even if I were to accept that there is a serious issue to be tried, and in my view, the applicant has a major hurdle to establish this, the applicant has not established that he would suffer irreparable harm if the relief was not granted. The dislocation occasioned by his removal may result in inconvenience or even in some hardship, but it does not establish irreparable harm.
[12] The respondent has an interest in seeing to the effective and timely implementation of a deportation order under section 48 of the Immigration Act.
[13] The application for a stay of the execution of the deportation order is accordingly dismissed.

As you can see to verify your statements on our email we have copied your UN colleagues and other Members of Parliament that you claim you work for and be an integral part of.
If your email was not so stupidly funny it would be pathetic. You claim to be a Member of the Australian Parliament, the United Nations International Civil Servant’ with the UN & IOs and the International law (CIA? FBI? NSA?) You claim to be a senior member of the Australian Parliament, A Member of the United Nations with special security clearances, and law all rolled into one. You are a legend in your own mind and a convicted Pedophile. I do not believe, that any of these organization employ Pedophiles. I am still do not understand how you were elected to Parliament in Australia when you are not even a citizen, and even if you were I don’t believe that the Australians allow child molesters into Parliament. You were deported from Canada so you still have an Indian Passport and would require a visa to enter Australia attend Sessions of Parliament. Amazing!
However, bear these points in mind. (I have attached court and other documentation to prove my claims)
Please do not bother to reply to this email as, from now all emails from you go directly into my Spam folder where they belong along with you.
Also, please ask your sister why she is so mad at me. Is it because of our business visit to Bangalore? Tell her to relax – she has no reason to be mad….Tell her to please stop burning up my phone line…I won’t talk about it…

Mr. Mejia,
As you can see from the website (http://www.cifal-bangalore.org/team.html) Dominic Dixon, the convicted pedophile has been re-listed as an employee of the UN. I don’t know what is going on in the Bangalore CIFAL, but I have also filed a complaint against Dominic Dixon with the FBI. Could you please assure me that the United Nations has not hired this convicted pedophile?

Subject: “Doctor” Dominic F. Dixon

To: <info@cifal-bengaluru.org>
To whom it may concern:
My name is Bruce Phillipowsky, I recently came across Mr. Dominic Dixon’s website (http://domdix.wixsite.com/dominic)in which he claims some affiliation to all of you. I am very offended that you would encourage a convicted pedophile who was deported from Canada on child molestation charges and portray him as a hero and example to young children. Dominic Dixon is not a doctor, nor has he ever attended any the prestigious universities he claims. (Harvard, Oxford, Berkeley, etc.) In fact, he never even completed sixth standard at St. Mary’s Anglo-Indian School in Madras, India. I helped him in 1995 to try and find a life in the United States, instead a couple of months later he repaid my kindness by molesting my nine year old son, for which he was deported from Canada. (See Attached Documents) I am told he attempted the same thing in Australia with a relation as recently as last month. The reason I am writing to you is because all of Mr. Dixon’s “research” seems to be on pornography and children. Do you think that fits the profile of a pedophile? Should he be in continuous contact with young children? (Even in the disguise of a very educated psychiatrist/counselor blessed by the Catholic Church.) Judging by his website and the results obtained, he seems to be a very gifted con artist. He is enriching himself in the name of the Lord.
This madness must stop, he must be held accountable for his actions and prevented from corrupting the minds of young children under the guise of counseling them.
Link to his deportation from the Canadian Government:

MICHAEL PRABHU, SEPTEMBER 28/30, 2019
OPEN LETTER TO CARDINAL OSWALD GRACIAS, CBCI PRESIDENT, ON HIS NOMINATION TO THE RADICAL, NEW AGE AMAZON SYNOD -MICHAEL PRABHU
Dear Oswald Cardinal Gracias,
On the 21st of this month, I read (http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2019/09/21/0723/01479.html) that you are one of Pope Francis’ nominees to the Synod of Bishops’ October 6 to 27 Special Assembly for the Pan-Amazonian Region, commonly called the “Amazon Synod” or “Pan-Amazonian Synod”, in Rome.
Apart from one Fr. Thomas Kallikat (who holds a Doctorate in Oriental Canon Law from Rome, and who will be one of the “assistants”, and who is copied here), you are apparently the only Indian — and the only Asian — prelate to have been nominated (along with several hundred others) to this Synod by the Pope.
Thus, a very, very great responsibility lies on your shoulders.
I had been closely following the developments since October 2017 when the proposal for the Synod was announced, then when the Preparatory Document was published (June 8, 2018), and again when the Instrumentum Laboris (Working Document) was released (June 17, 2019).
All through, I had been keeping a track, and recording at my web site (www.ephesians-511.net) news reports, articles, commentaries and analyses retrieved from various online Catholic sources.
On coming to know that you are one of the eminent attendees with a voting right at the Amazon Synod, I collated all the 315+ pre-September 21 Amazon Synod files from my web site and placed them in a file which you can find (also attached to this email for your ready reference) at
http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/POPE_FRANCIS_FILES_AT_THIS_MINISTRYS_WEBSITE.doc. This long-running file is captioned “POPE FRANCIS FILES AT THIS MINISTRY’S WEBSITE“, and it has been operative — for reasons that will be obvious to you — ever since Francis’ accession to the Pontificate. This file now contains 360+ individual reports (other than those 315+ on the Amazon Synod) related to our Pope’s heterodox sayings and actions, as well as his silence on many critical issues on which the Church should have heard the clear and authoritative voice of Peter… but didn’t. I need not go into details as the titles of most of the individual files are self-descriptive.
One of two reasons for this Open Letter from me is that your terms in office as Archbishop, Cardinal, President of the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India (CCBI), and now the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI), have been anything but reassuring.
In a file CARDINAL OSWALD GRACIAS FILES AT THIS MINISTRY’S WEBSITE also attached here, (http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/CARDINAL_OSWALD_GRACIAS_FILES_AT_THIS_MINISTRYS_WEBSITE.doc) posted September 21, I wrote, “The Cardinal has presided over the institutionalization of New Age medications, meditations and psychology in his archdiocese, and been a mute spectator to the progressive Hinduisation of the Catholic Church in India. His public show of sympathy — without the requisite accompanying Christian cautions — for the sexually-active LGBTQ community is on public record. On his watch, priests of his archdiocese have been jailed for sodomy, and the number of clergy accused/arrested nationwide for rape has increased dramatically. Check out the “reports” section of my web site.”
The second reason is the Amazon Synod itself.
In all fairness to the readers of my web site, I diligently studied all shades of Catholic reporting from the Traditionalist to the very Conservative to the ultra-Liberal. To a Catholic who loves the Church and desires to remain faithful to Her 2000-year-old tradition, there can be one, and only one, conclusion: the Amazon Synod is an unprecedented threat to Catholicism, definitively even greater than the Arian heresy or the Protestant Reformation, because it is personified by the Vicar of Christ himself, Pope Francis.
You know me since at least the year 2008 when I almost single-handedly took on the hierarchy of the Indian Church in protest against your release in Bombay when you were Cardinal, of the syncretised, Hinduised, heretical, New Age St. Pauls New Community Bible that carried an Imprimatur and a Nihil Obstat. Despite the defence of their “Bible” by eminent Indian theologians and some of your peers among the bishops including the Chairman of the Doctrinal Commission of the CBCI, it was eventually withdrawn and re-published with a 90% excision of the material that I found highly objectionable. And, I am no theologian; just a faithful, dedicated, well-informed Catholic who looks to the Church for guidance and reassurance on matters that pertain to his eternal salvation and that of others.
Am I wrong in “criticising” the Pope? Should I imitate those Cardinals, Bishops, priests and fellow laity in Catholic ministry who choose to remain blind to the truth or in denial, and participate in their complicity of silence? Or should I be a St. Athanasius or a St. Catherine of Siena instead?
I have answered all of these questions in various files that you can find at my web site; however I point you to an article that just came in (September 24):
Cardinal Raymond Burke, Bishop Athanasius Schneider: Silence about errors under Pope Francis would be ‘great sin’ – https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/cdl-burke-bishop-schneider-silence-about-errors-under-pope-francis-would-be-great-sin.
Also: http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/TO_LOVE_THE_CHURCH_IS_TO_HOLD_HER_INSTITUTIONS_TO_ACCOUNTABILITY.doc
The late Bishop Frederick D’Souza of Jhansi wrote to me in the year 2003 appreciating my “sentire cum ecclesia” (“thinking with the Church”; then ignorant of Latin, I had to ask him what it meant!) stand. Refining that stand over the past fifteen years, I am now able to discern more clearly than ever. So, when I read the Catholic media on Pope Francis or the Amazon Synod or anything else, it is no big task for me to figure out who is with Christ and His Church — and who is not.
Media like the Jesuit-run America magazine, the Jesuit-headed UCAN and CathNewsAsia, La Civiltà Cattolica
(again, Jesuit-run), ecojesuit.com, jesuits.org, ncronline (the National Catholic Reporter), the Crux website (now and then), Commonweal, Avvenire, the daily newspaper of the Italian Bishops’ Conference,
REPAM (Pan-Amazonian Ecclesial Network),
journalists like Austen Ivereigh (British biographer of the Pope), John L. Allen Jr., organizations like the German relief agency Misereor, Adveniat and Pax Christi International, welcomed the reported agenda of the Synod. These are known “progressives” who favour married clergy (an end to priestly celibacy), the ordination of women as priests, etc., etc.
All of them back the German bishops “synodal” path – German Cardinals Reinhard Marx and Walter Kasper, Austrian
Cardinal Christoph Schönborn OP, Cardinal Lorenzo Baldisseri, General Secretary of the Synod, Peruvian Jesuit Cardinal Pedro Barreto, Brazilian Cardinal Cláudio Hummes OFM, Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson, relator general of the Synod, Cardinal Beniamino Stella, prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, Bishop Fritz Lobinger, Bishop
Erwin Kräutler CPpS (primary author of the Working Document), Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck of Germany, the now-laicized and married (to a Marxist activist) liberation theologian ex-Franciscan Leonardo Boff, Fr. Thomas Reese SJ, homosexualist Fr. James Martin SJ, theologians Josef Sayer and Thomas Schüller, and like-minded prelates; they look to remold the Church into one with “an Amazonian face”, in response to the Pope’s call for “new paths” for the Church.
Despite my personal conclusions about Pope Francis’ pontificate, I do not claim immunity from error, and so I look up to others for their opinions; and I find that I am in complete agreement with the many lay Catholic apostolates whose eminence and integrity cannot be disputed. Some of them are EWTN/National Catholic Register, Catholic News Agency, Catholic World Report, Crisis magazine, Steve Skojec/OnePeterFive, Michael Voris/the ChurchMilitant team, Voice of the Family (U.K.), Mother Miriam of Immaculate Heart Radio Network, John-Henry Westen and the LifeSiteNews team, Aldo Maria Valli, Roberto de Mattei, Marco Tosatti, Dr. Taylor Marshall, Michael J. Matt/The Remnant, José Antonio Ureta of TFP France, Julio Loredo de Izcue of Pan-Amazon Synod Watch (panamazonsynodwatch.info), Dr. Jeff Mirus (catholicculture.org), Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, Riccardo Cascioli of
La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, Italy, Vittorio Messori, “the most translated Catholic writer in the world”, Sandro Magister (L’Espresso/Chiesa, Italy), Damian Thompson (former editor-in-chief, Catholic Herald), John Zmirak (The Stream), George Weigel, Robert Royal, Edward Pentin, etc.
They are pro-life, pro-family and very traditional, quite the opposite of those in the list just above.
And lest I forget, there are the clergy: Cardinals Raymond Burke and Walter Brandmüller and Gerhard Ludwig Müller, former Prefect of the CDF, Cardinal George Pell, Cardinal Robert Sarah, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, Cardinal Marc Ouellet of the Vatican’s Congregation for Bishops, German Cardinal Rainer Woelki, Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Caput OFM Cap., ex-Vatican Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Bishop Athanasius Schneider of Kazakhstan, Swiss bishop Marian Eleganti, German bishop Rudolf Voderholzer, Texas bishop Joseph Strickland, Austrian bishop Andreas Laun, Bishop Nicola Bux, theologian and former consultant to the CDF, Amazon bishop José Luiz Azcona Hermoso, Msgr. Eric Barr, Msgr. Charles Pope, Fr. Raymond de Souza, the redoubtable Fr. John Zuhlsdorf (Fr. Z’s blog), Fr. Dwight Longenecker, Dom Giulio Meiattini OSB, and many more.
A brief (due to space constraints) summary of what I learned from them concerning the Amazon Synod:
The Amazon rainforest includes territory belonging to nine countries in Latin America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Perú, Venezuela and Suriname. The Amazon Synod is being heavily funded by the cash-rich liberal German bishops’ conference. Topics favoured by them will be pushed for the universal Church at the Amazon Synod.
There is the imminent danger of the Catholic Church in Germany turning into a “German national church” and entering into a schism.
e.g.
http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/THE_AMAZON_AND_GERMANY-A_TALE_OF_TWO_SYNODS.doc
The theme of the Synod, announced March 8, 2018 is “The Amazon: New paths for the Church and for an integral ecology.”
In line with the Synod’s theme, with progressives citing the need for promoting an integral ecology along the lines of the pope’s 2015 encyclical Laudato Si’, on “Care for Our Common Home,” conservatives fear a New Agey eco-agenda to loom large over the Synod. Liberation theology has morphed into an earth-centred eco-feminist theology (deep ecology), say Catholic experts.
e.g.
http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/DEEP_ECOLOGY_AND_DE-GROWTH.doc
e.g.
http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/THE_AMAZON_SYNOD_AND_THE_VATICANS_RADICAL_ENVIRONMENTALISM.doc
Whereas Catholicism is, or was, expected to Christianise paganism/indigenous tribalism, the Working Document of the Synod envisages a reversal of that mandate, according to Catholic experts in files at my web site. We are expected to learn from their ancient wisdom and practices. (That’s already well underway, anyway, in the Indian Church vis-à-vis Hinduism.)
“At the Synod of Bishops on the Amazon, the Church is supposed to learn about spirituality of trees and insects and the ways of tribes in touch with nature.” –Fr. John Zuhlsdorf
“One of the most shocking aspects of the Instrumentum Laboris is its positive references to Amazonian shamanism and the worship of spirits, that are in reality demons.” -Rev. Deacon Nick Donnelly

e.g. http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/GET_READY_FOR_CATHOLIC_ANIMISM_AS_WELL.doc
From the above (and more at my web site), the Amazon Synod can inarguably be classified as New Age.

“For the members of the assembly: toilet paper is destined to a much higher and dignified use than the cellulose which will be wasted with this document.” -Rorate Caeli, June 18, 2019
The Synod’s Instrumentum Laboris is the progeny of Pope Francis’ already widely criticised encyclicals Evangelii Gaudium and Laudato si’. See related files at POPE FRANCIS FILES… and also
http://ephesians-511.net/recent/docs/AMAZON_SYNOD-THE_PROBLEM_LIES_IN_LAUDATO_SI.doc
The Synod would ensure that Catholic evangelization would be definitively terminated.
Fr. Corrado Dalmonego, leader of the Consolata Catholic mission brags that he is the director of “a mission of presence and dialogue” in which no one has been baptized for 53 years!
The Synod’s Instrumentum Laboris suggests that local bishops’ conferences “adapt the Eucharistic rite to their cultures.” In the Indian context, it cannot get much worse than it presently is. Saffronised bishops are already coming out with their temple-churches, Hindu symbols, rituals and syncretised “Masses”.
If the progressives have their way at the Synod, these will be the norm rather than the exception, worldwide. (On this subject, a separate Open Letter to you, Cardinal Oswald Gracias, is under preparation.)
“The document seeks to adapt the Church to the culture, pasting the Church and its teachings onto the substance of Amazonian spirituality and letting the indigenous culture mold and shape Catholicism into its own image and likeness. It is the direct opposite action of what Pope Gregory set as the standard line for missionary activity.“ –www.patheos.com, 17/6
A “rupture” in the Universal Catholic Church, if not a schism, is feared to result from the Synod.
With Catholicism rapidly declining and Pentecostalism on the upswing in Latin America, the Synod is expected to benefit Evangelicals.
Multiple reports on both of the above issues can be found at POPE FRANCIS FILES…
According to Cardinal Robert Sarah, the Amazon Synod would “definitively break” with the Tradition of the Latin Church if making such a direction.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: “The figure of Christ is absent” from the Amazon Synod working document. He has charged Pope Francis with “provoking” schism.
The working document (Instrumentum Laboris) of the Amazon Synod has been branded as “apostasy” (i.e., total repudiation of the Christian faith), and as “heresy” (i.e., the obstinate denial of an article of faith) by Cardinal Walter Brandmüller. It constitutes an “attack on the foundations of the faith,”
he said.
In an interview, he repeated, “Heresy? Not only that, it is also stupidity.”
Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said the upcoming synod of bishops on the Amazon is “a pretext for changing the Church.” He added: “The fact that it is being held in Rome is intended to underline the beginning of a new church.”
Bishop Marian Eleganti, the auxiliary bishop of Chur, Switzerland, has said that, if adopted, ideas now contained in the working document of the Amazon Synod “will contaminate the whole Mystical Body of the Church – and gravely damage it.”
Monsignor Nicola Bux, a theologian and former consulter to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith during Benedict XVI’s pontificate, said that the Amazon Synod is an attempt to “create another church” by “demolishing” the true Church from within.
A group of cardinals and bishops who are involved with the preparation of the Amazon Synod and who back the abolishment of priestly celibacy and other progressivist positions contrary to perennial Catholic teaching secretly met near Rome in June, reported LifeSiteNews.
The working document for the upcoming Amazonian synod promotes the “most dangerous” form of socialism and is “absolutely unacceptable,” says Austrian philosopher Thomas Stark. Incidentally, the Brazilian bishops asked Pope Francis to declare assassinated Marxist priest Fr. Ezechiele Ramin as “patron saint” of the Synod. Multiple reports on the socialist-communist slant of the Synod available at my web site.
“Nothing will be the same” in the Church after the Synod on the Amazon, stated Franz-Josef Overbeck, a pro-homosexual bishop in Germany (LifeSiteNews, May 3, 2019).
Pope Benedict XVI during his 2007 visit in Brazil:
Orthodox Catholics leaders are so greatly concerned about the Preparatory and Working Documents that they are holding a historic roundtable titled “Our Church – Reformed or Deformed?”
in Rome on the 4th of October 3 pm to 6 pm Rome time, and the event will be streamed live.
Click here to register.
On October 5, a separate symposium is being organized by conservative and traditionalist Catholics called “The Truth about the Amazon,” indicating that in their view, truth won’t come up in the synod hall.
In a show of solidarity with them, thousands of Catholics will be gathering near St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome at 2:30 pm on October 5, the eve of the Synod. Tens of thousands more (Fr. Richard Heilman’s USGF) are praying the Rosary and have launched a 54-day
novena ending Oct. 7 for their intentions, and for the Synod.
A dedicated Facebook page, called “Let’s pray for the Church,” has been launched in several languages to spread the word about the prayer initiative.
Cardinal Raymond Burke and Bishop Athanasius Schneider jointly submitted an eight-page document “imploring the faithful to join with them” in 40 days of prayer and fasting starting September 17.
To cite an eminent Catholic writer, “Synods are meant to be conversations. They have no power to effect policy, or proclaim doctrine. The outcome of the conversation does not bind the pope. Their documents, even if taken up as official texts of the Church, bind neither will nor intellect. The synod is not an ecumenical council.”

Dear Oswald Cardinal Gracias,
If you have a vote at the Synod, will you cast it in support of Christ and Tradition or will it be in favour of the liberals, radicals, reformers and progressivists who seek to “create another Church” that is not of Christ?
I suppose that we, the faithful, will never know how you voted.
But, we will know your stand if you speak up at the Synod and if you give interviews to the Catholic media.
In the name of all that is good and holy, I sincerely hope that you do.
Yours obediently in Christ,

Jesuit Superior-General Fr. Arturo Sosa visits, blesses, endorses Deshanur temple-church. The Jesuits describe this syncretisation as the “Indianization” of the Gospel:

SJ
alias Menino Swamy is partially visible at the right extreme
A small church in the village of Deshanur, India is built and decorated in the tradition of Hindu temples. Of a few hundred inhabitants, less than twenty are Catholics, with the remainder being Hindu or Muslim. But all of them meet around the swami, their spiritual animator, Fr. Menino. The church is full; people sing, they pray. This is the practice of interreligious relations. Look at the photos [https://www.flickr.com/photos/jesuitsglobal/albums/72157690158513493/] and listen to Fr. Menino who talks about the universal relationship of love he has with the people of his village.
