Note: Persecution of Catholics is up worldwide. From the violent attacks in the Muslim and now Hindu worlds to the more subtle outlawing of Catholic speech in the UN and EU and some Canadian and US states. Persecution is growing and the world's states are aiding and abetting it. A new religion of atheistic relativism and secularism is being touted and legislated by the state. What's next?

Prashant-– a Jesuit social group-– said that Hindu fundamentalists first disrupted the program of the church team at Baidiya village. Later their jeep was waylaid by the same group, which had grown enough to block the path of the Catholic mission workers. A priest, a religious brother, and two students were seriously injured in the assault and had to be taken to hospital. A nun and female students in the group managed to escape injury. Pointing out that the local police initially refused to register their complaint, Prashant said the attack-- in which the Hindu zealots charged that the Catholic group was trying to convert Hindus-- was "indicative of a pattern of the past years." Under the rule of the Hindu nationalist BJP party for over a decade, Gujarat has recorded dozens of instances of anti-Christian violence, including the burning of churches, desecration of cemeteries, assaults on Christian workers, and harassment of Church institutions by the government.
