										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Indian police have failed to notify a Catholic nun, raped during the 2008 anti-Christian violence in Orissa, of an identity parade including a new suspect in the case.

“Unofficially we knew … that the court fixed March 8” for the identification lineup, Lansingh Lu Rongmei, one of a team of lawyers dealing with the nun’s case told UCA News.

“But until she gets the summons, how can she attend?” the lawyer asked.

The nun, 29, also feared going to Kandhamal and she planned to request that the court move the police lineup outside the district.

On two previous occasions, the court had allowed the lineup to be moved to Cuttack, the state’s ancient capital, as the nun did not feel safe in Kandhamal.

Kandhamal was the epicenter of the seven-week long riot where she was raped on Aug. 25.

“The district is not yet safe for the nun. And, we also do not think the police would act in a fair manner,” the lawyer said.

She accused police of standing by while the nun was paraded half naked after she had been raped.

Rongmei said the investigating officer had applied to the court in Balliguda, Kandhamal, last month for an identity parade featuring the new suspect.

Father Thomas Chellan, who was also attacked on the same day, was also due to attend but he did not receive notification either, she said.

The last time the nun attended a lineup was on June 23, 2009, conducted inside Choudwar Circle Jail in Cuttack. Police lined up about 80 people, mixing prisoners with eight suspects, and asked the nun to identify those who attacked her.

Sister Mary Pulickal, superior of the nun, told UCA News today that the nuns “will not go to Kandhamal; we cannot go there because we do not feel safe.” <a href="http://www.ptinews.com/" target="_blank">Press Trust of India</a>, quoting official sources, said 19 people have been arrested in the case so far. The state police’s Crime Branch was in search of two others, they said.

The news agency said Crime Branch officials also failed to turn up for the lineup.

										<description><![CDATA[More than 1,000  clergy have joined the campaign against the government’s construction project on four major rivers in South Korea.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[More than 1,000  clergy have joined the campaign against the government’s construction project on four major rivers in South Korea.

The Catholic Solidarity for Deterrence of Four Major Rivers Project released a statement yesterday arguing that the project is illegal and will kill the four rivers, UCA News reports.

The statement was signed by 1,104 priests and bishops including Bishop Matthias Ri Iong-hoon of Suwon, retired Bishop Paul Choi Deog-ki of Suwon, Bishop Boniface Choi Ki-san of Incheon, Bishop Lazzaro You Heung-sik of Daejeon and Bishop Lucas Kim Woon-hoe of Chunchon.

The group was formed last December to protest against the project. Justice and peace committees and environment pastoral committees of 11 dioceses joined.

“It’s a sin to implement the project of digging up the rivers, the source of all life and the lifeline of South Korea, despite most people’s objections. We will keep fighting to stop it,” the statement said.

The group promised to hold Masses and sit-in protests at construction sites and join the national campaign against the project.

They will support political candidates who object to the project in the June 2 nationwide local elections.

The government began the 22.2 trillion won (US$19.4 billion) Four Major Rivers Restoration Project last November.

The project, said to be needed to stop flooding and pollution, involves dredging and constructing weirs and dams on the country’s four major rivers.

Environmentalists and civic groups argue that the water gates and weirs will lock up pollutants and worsen water quality.

“The government is misleading the public with false information,” Father Joseph Cho Hae-bung, president of the Catholic solidarity group, told UCA News.

“Our declaration aims to help the faithful and people judge it correctly.”

Father Simeon Park Chang-kyun, president of the Committee for Justice and Peace of <a href="http://www.ucanews.com/dps/html/dps-ko_masan.php">Masan diocese</a>, said the government was implementing the project without adequate environmental-impact assessments.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[The livelihoods of Catholic communities are among those in danger as drought and the possible effects of Chinese dams reduce the water level of the Mekong River to its lowest in 20 years.

“We face a drought almost every year but not this serious,” Father Vichai Uanyendee of Presentation of the Lord Church in Huai Leb Mue village, Nong Khai province, told UCA News.

“Our villagers’ garlic, tomato and corn crops as well as vegetables have been destroyed. Fisherfolk cannot use their boats” on the Mekong, he said.

The 68 Catholic families of the village are mostly farmers, fisherfolk or small-scale traders.

Low water levels in the Mekong, the lifeline that runs through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, are threatening the livelihoods of more than 60 million people who live along it.

Environmental groups and others have blamed China, which has built four dams on the upper stretches of the river. China and some experts, however, say the dams have little impact on the water level. They blame instead a severe drought.

In Pak Kat village, Nong Khai, one kilometer from the Mekong riverbank, villagers have had to buy water at 300 baht (US$9) per pickup truckload, according to Vichai Yasiri, a Church worker of Holy Redeemer Church.

The government has not been able to supply the village with water because there are too many affected by the drought, the layman said.

The church’s parish priest, Father Somnuek Suthi, said the current drought has not attracted as much attention as other disasters such as floods and earthquakes.

Meanwhile the Catholic Social Development Center of <a href="http://www.ucanews.com/dps/html/dps-th_tharae.php">Tharae-Nongsaeng archdiocese</a>is preparing to donate water pumps to critically affected villages, both Buddhist and Catholic, along the Mekong so that villagers can draw water from the river.

“We have learned about the difficulties faced by the communities. In particular, around 200 families in Tha Utan district, Nakhon Phanom province, have not had water supply for days,” said Adul Trakulma, center coordinator.

He explained that the harsh conditions are driving many young people to seek jobs as laborers in the cities.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hong Kong's Catholic Church is expecting that around 3000 catechumens will receive the Sacraments of Christian Initiation this Easter.

Participation in community life and strengthening the faith are the two recommendations that Hong Kong Bishop John Tong made to the catechumens during the Rite of Election, held March 7 in the Parish of St. Francis, Fides reports, citing Kong Ko Bao, the Chinese version of the Hong Kong diocesan bulletin.

In a homily last Sunday, Bishop Tong highlighted the theme of living water, indicating that constant prayer is the best way to receive the "living water" of Jesus. He then encouraged the catechumens "always reflect on the Word of God, distancing yourselves from all things that are incompatible with the faith."

Only in this manner can we "get closer and closer to Christ and Our Heavenly Father, and bear witness to Jesus." The Bishop spiritually and symbolically handed over the Scriptures to the catechumens, that they may become their life's companion, keeping the flame of faith alive in their hearts.

More Rites of Election ceremonies will be held in coming weeks, Fides says.

										<description><![CDATA[Pope Benedict's elder brother Monsignor Georg Ratzinger has asked forgiveness for slapping pupils at the German boarding school where he was choirmaster and also apologized for failing to act over more violent punishment at the school.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Pope Benedict's elder brother Monsignor Georg Ratzinger has asked forgiveness for slapping pupils at the German boarding school where he was choirmaster and also apologized for failing to act over more violent punishment at the school.

He said he aware of violent incidents that took place at the school, but not the extent of the abuse, the Guardian reports.

Georg Ratzinger, 86, who was choirmaster at the Regensburger Domspatzen in Bavaria between 1964 to 1994, said he occasionally struck boys in his care, according to what he said had been the "normal reaction" at the time.

But he denied any knowledge of sexual abuse. "These things were never discussed," Ratzinger told the Catholic daily, the Passauer Neue Presse. "The problem of sexual abuse that has now come to light was never spoken of."

Ratzinger said he himself had occasionally given boys "clips round the ear", as part of the "discipline and rigour" needed to reach a "high musical and artistic level", but had "never beaten" pupils "black and blue". He said he had been "relieved" when a ban on corporal punishment had put an end to the practice.

"I always had a bad conscience and I was happy when in 1980 corporal punishment was banned by lawmakers," he said. He described the practice of striking pupils as "simply the normal reaction to failings or disobedience".

Ratzinger said he had only learned later that the headmaster at the school between 1953 and 1992, who has been identified only as Johann M, had been "very violent", but had not known the extent of the abuse. "Had I known at the time what excessive violence he was using I would have said something back then," he said.

He said today he would view the matter differently, and for that, he said, he apologized to the victims.

Meanwhile, Holy See Press Office Director Fr Federico Lombardi SJ has issued a statement emphasizing Pope Benedict's "concern" over the emerging abuse issue, particularly in European countries.

"These events mobilise the Church to find appropriate responses and should be placed in a more wide-ranging context that concerns the protection of children and young people from sexual abuse in society as a whole," Fr Lombardi said.

"Certainly, the errors committed in ecclesiastical institutions and by Church figures are particularly reprehensible because of the Church's educational and moral responsibility, but all objective and well-informed people know that the question is much broader, and concentrating accusations against the Church alone gives a false perspective.

"W, we must not fail to do everything possible in order to ensure that, in the end, they bring positive results, of better protection for infancy and youth in the Church and in society, and the purification of the Church herself," Fr Lombardi said.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[Carmelite nuns who traditionally produce communion hosts for French churches have launched a campaign against cheaper imported Polish hosts produced by a secular workforce.

In a temporal battle that threatened to take the bread from their mouths, nuns producing communion wafers for French churches were shocked to learn that the religious authorities at Lourdes were contemplating buying cheaper hosts from Poland, the Guardian reports.

Sister Marcelline, from the Carmelite convent at Carmel de Saint Germain-en-Laye just outside Paris, said: "Foreign producers, namely those from Poland, have undercut the market."

For many of France's 36 religious communities who make 140m host wafers every year and the additional 30 who live off the dwindling sales, the income is vital for their survival.

The Lourdes church has since announced it would continue to buy wafers made in France - but only after negotiating a price reduction.

In order to spread the word the convents have launched a publicity campaign with a video entitled Les boulangères de Dieu (God's Bakers).

However, Sister Marcelline's lament about the "people in purchasing", will have a familiar ring to anyone involved in business.

"Before it was easier: you just had a word with the priest, but today material matters are often dealt with by lay people," she said.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[A Catholic youth group in Jakarta archdiocese has launched a nine-month-long campaign to stress the importance of chastity to other young people. (UCA News)

Organizers of the Domus Cordis (sanctification and evangelization) group, say the campaign will include talks based on Pope John Paul John II’s Theology of the Body, the recruitment of “chastity ambassadors” to spread the message, as well as the use of media and social networking websites.

Organizers say they launched the True Love Celebration (TLC) campaign after the National Commission for Child Protection reported in 2008 that 93.7 percent of 4,500 junior and senior high school students surveyed had engaged in petting and oral sex, and that 97 percent watched pornographic movies.

In addition, 21.2 percent of the senior high school students had gone for abortions.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[(South Korea's) Yoido Full Gospel is the mega-est of megachurches. (Melanie Kirkpatrick, Wall Street Journal)

With a membership of more than 850,000, it bills itself as the world's largest Christian congregation, and that's probably right. At the 11 o'clock service last Sunday, there were more people in the 120-singer choir than in the entire congregation of the country church I attend in New England.

The church stands on an island in the Han River in central Seoul, not far from the National Legislature. The main sanctuary holds 10,000 people. Nearby are several church-owned buildings, including a high-rise filled with offices, meeting rooms and banquet halls. There are satellite churches elsewhere in Seoul and around the country.

Judging from the crowd in the designated "foreign section" last Sunday, Yoido ranks up there with the demilitarized zone on the North Korean border as one of the country's prime tourist destinations. Simultaneous interpretation was provided in eight languages: English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, Russian, Indonesian and Arabic.

As I entered the church that morning, swept along with the crowd that had just swarmed off a bus that stopped at a side door, I was greeted by a deacon dressed in a white jacket and wearing a golden sash that said "Welcome Foreigners." He led me briskly to an elevator and up to the fourth floor, where he handed me off to a colleague. That deacon, also in a white jacket, gave me an order of worship printed in several languages, an English translation of the sermon, and an information card that she asked me to fill out and return for the church mailing list.
