India’s ‘Bishops’: Modernist Apostates Deny Christ’s Kingship

EWTN News portal reports on a statement from the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) and individual clerics slamming the Indian government’s rejection of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) 2026 report, which documented increasing atrocities against Christians. The article quotes “Archbishop” Anil Couto, “Archbishop” Andrews Thazhath, and Jesuit Father Cedric Prakash lamenting violence, anti-conversion laws, and the government’s “denial mode.” They frame their appeal in terms of constitutional rights (Article 25 of India’s constitution), “religious freedom,” and “human rights,” while collaborating ecumenically with Protestants through the United Christian Forum (UCF). Their solution is legal reform and state enforcement of existing laws, not the public reign of Christ the King. This entire approach is a capitulation to modernist, naturalistic principles that constitute a complete abandonment of integral Catholic faith and a betrayal of the social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
