Bangladesh Church Land Dispute Exposes Neo-Church’s Materialist Apostasy
Catholic News Agency reports on efforts by the “Khulna Diocese” to reclaim the site of Bangladesh’s first Catholic church in Iswaripur, built by Portuguese Jesuits in 1600 and now occupied by a Muslim family. The article cites financial constraints and the need for government intervention while quoting “Fr.” Philip Mondal and layman Praveen Mondal lamenting the disappearance of physical evidence of Christian history. The report frames the issue as a bureaucratic land dispute rather than a spiritual battle.
