The Hindu
Bishops point to alarming fall in Christian population
The Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council, the apex body of the Catholic Church hierarchy in Kerala, has reiterated the Church’s stand that human life should be protected and respected from the moment of its conception. The Bishops’ reiteration of its stand comes in the wake of recent public discourses on families and increase in birth rates being encouraged by the Church. It was not logical to bring about a reduction in the population for the deficiencies of planning and development, the Bishops said in a statement issued here on Monday.More Related News
