Dear All,

 

In this conversation with an anonymous Catholic writer based in the US, Archbishop Menamparampil, who is Archbishop Emeritus of Guwahati, India, reflects on the growing normalization of violence in global affairs, the moral responsibilities of world leaders, the role of the Church in promoting peace, and the importance of dialogue, restraint, and humility in resolving international conflicts.

In another interview with Nirmala Carvalho, Chief Asia Correspondent, Archbishop Menamparampil says “our apostolate in education, healthcare, and welfare services continues unabated. Our personnel serve tirelessly, reaching out to people of all castes and creeds without discrimination. We remain committed to our mission of contributing to nation-building.”
