His Eminence Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith. Even as a Seminarian at St. Aloysius, he excelled in all spheres and it is a very fitting honour to him as well as to Sri Lanka. Great News and proud to be a batchmate.

problem is that there are only very few tolerant buddhist around in the country. in some areas like kiribathgoda, peoples of other religions are not even allowed to open a market. other religions dont have equal rights as buddhist. People of other religions cannot run for presidency. that's racism and intolerance.

yes this is the great news to hear a cardinal from Srilanka. Arch Malcom Ranjith who has done a great job in recent past in vatican.

rodriq Monday, 23 August 2010 07:19 AM

Yes we are all one family, end of the day we are all Sri Lankans. Lets hope and pray that we are all blessed with such an honour.

Tintin Monday, 23 August 2010 06:45 AM

Thats a good one! Does the same apply for Mahinda Rajapakse who shares the same initials? Whatever way, Sri Lanka doesnt lose if he in fact becomes a Cardinal.

We didn't have a Cardinal after Thomas Cardinal Cooray, this is a good news for Sri Lanka, God Bless and Congradulations

Chamara Monday, 23 August 2010 06:33 AM

So am I, but we should receive him with open arms and show how us REAL BUDDHISTS are accepting and tolerant of all faiths

Mithraka Fernando Monday, 23 August 2010 06:27 AM

Well the Cardinal Antonio Canzares is coming to Sri Lanka to declare open the Eucharistic Year celebrations on the 29th of August in Tewatta, Ragama. I don't know if he has another motive of inquiring into Archbishop Malcolm Ranjith. Anyway his name is hot in the vatican circles.

sanus Monday, 23 August 2010 05:54 AM

He played his cards very well to vie for the cardinalship.
Malcolm Ranjith or MR stands for Manipulator Royal!

Sharma Monday, 23 August 2010 05:20 AM

Welcome the good news.

tharanga Monday, 23 August 2010 05:11 AM

I am a budhist ,but this is a good news .he should receive this because he is very good leader.
