CHARISMATIC RETREAT PREACHER FR. FRANKLIN D’SOUZA

WEARS THE HINDU MARK ON THE CENTER OF HIS FOREHEAD

May 7th 2014

His Excellency Archbishop Most Rev. Salvatore Pennacchio, Apostolic Nuncio to India consecrated Bishop Elect Msgr. Francis Serrao SJ as the Bishop of Shimoga at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Shimoga. Ceremony began at 3pm. His Grace Most Rev. Bernard Moras, Archbishop of Bangalore and His Excellency Henry D’Souza, Bishop of Bellary were the co- consecrators. 6000 faithful and 236 priests and hundreds of religious sisters witnessed the ceremony and prayed for the new shepherd of Diocese of Shimoga. After the mass a short felicitation function was organised by the Diocese of Shimoga.

THIS MARK, CALLED “BINDI” OR “TILAK” IS OF RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE TO HINDUS.

IT IS NEVER APPLIED BY MUSLIMS OR CHRISTIANS [PROTESTANTS ABHOR IT].

MANY CATHOLIC WOMEN HOWEVER COMMONLY FLAUNT A “BINDI”- STYLISED OR REAL.

NOW THERE IS AN ALARMING TREND OF THE BINDI’S INCREASING USE BY NUNS

AND THE TILAK BY CATHOLIC MEN — NOT AMONG THE LAITY —

BUT AMONG PRIESTS, BISHOPS, CARDINALS, THE APOSTOLIC NUNCIO IN INDIA,

ROME’S PREFECT OF THE CONGREGATION FOR THE DOCTRINE OF THE FAITH,

AND EVEN THE POPE (JOHN PAUL II WAS ADORNED WITH ONE).

TRAGICALLY, THE PAGAN HINDU MARK HAS ALSO BEEN APPLIED TO IMAGES AND DRAWINGS OF JESUS AND HIS BLESSED MOTHER

I have scoured the Internet and my research library seeking information, any information which says that the bindi or tilak is a purely Indian cultural phenomenon.

While I didn’t find a shred of evidence that says that, I found tons of evidence to the contrary.

My findings are compiled in a separate article titled
