The Catholic Bishops’ Council (KCBC) issued a circular day 6 July, youth day, suggesting that Christian young people are reluctant to engage in active politics and invited them to join politics.
Organist issued by the Chairman of the KCBC Youth Commission Christudas R. and Vice -Presidents Mar Joseph Pandarasseril and Mathews Mar Policepos was read in all parishes on Sunday.
“Necessary for society”
The circular is: “At present, the political situation is very chaotic and confusing and is not suitable for Christian youth who has leadership and critical thinking skills to distance themselves from the mainstream policy. The new generation with knowledge and talent should enter the mainstream to deal with this society. He acknowledges them to realize that she acknowledges them to realize them to realize them to realize that she acknowledges them to realize them to realize that she acknowledges them to realize them to realize them to realize.
Jobs for jobs
The circular also indicated that a large number of young people are looking for job opportunities in foreign countries. “The Church cannot discourage those who move abroad for a better life. However, many young people wish to stay in the country. They should be led by ways to professionally approach business and employment,” the circle said.
The Catholic priest said that the Church had noticed an alarming decline in the number of Christian representatives in politics. “Participation in the government is the need to deal with the issues of society, in particular the questions of the Christian community. If Christian youth is reluctant to join politics, the role of Christians will further decrease in future governments,” the priest said.
“Descending roles”
According to sources, the declining presence of Catholics in ruling parties raises concerns about the church authorities. Over the years, the Catholic Church has played an influential role in election policy in the state. The Church now hopes that the participation of Christian young people in politics will help her reappear as an influential factor.
