Archbishop Thomas Menam-parambil has urged Indian Church authorities to be more attentive to the diverse voices within and the needs of the new generation, while cautioning against a gradual decline in faith among Catholics in the country. Archbishop Tho-mas Menamparampil of Guwa-hati, in the northeastern state of Assam, warned Church authorities on May 10 about an impending fate similar to that of the Euro-pean Church, where priestless parishes, empty altars, and pews are sad realities. “Unless timely efforts are made to settle internal conflicts and indifference among the faithful,” the Church in India may face a similar fate in the future, Menamparampil said. The prelate was addressing some 4,800 priests, brothers, and nuns working as missionaries across the globe from the Diocese of Palai in the southern Indian state of Kerala on May 10, at the St Augustine’s Church compound in Pravithanam.
