Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary Ven. Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera today met Colombo’s Archbishop Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith to appreciate measures taken by him to stop private classes on Sundays and Poya Days.

He also thanked the Cardinal for standing up against discreet measures taken to make men and women infertile.

While speaking with Cardinal Ranjith, Ven. Gnanasara Thera said there was an undergoing mission on Ligation and Resection of Tubes (LRT) on women and Vasectomy on men allegedly carried out by Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs).

During the Past ten years more than 900,000 people had been made infertile, the Thera said.

“During the discussion we proposed the Catholic Church to create an atmosphere to promote inter-religious harmony and hold discussions to create a platform to avert religious discord,” the Thera said.

The Archbishop had responded positively to support and implement such decisions. (Chaturanga Pradeep)

To a simple man like me, this is a lovely joke.

It is a good move to discuss matters, however, some other media reports carried the news that Archbishop stating that Sinhala Buddhists should be protected. Then what about the people of other faiths?

Aba saranai.

If private lessons of faith were learned well, that fruit basket on the first photo should go to the poor and the monks should all be bare feet.

Forceful male and female sterilization had been taking place in this country, even with the government sponsorship from as back as early 1980', particularly targeting the poor in the plantation sector. Where were these religious leaders then?

Mark Fernandez Thursday, 14 December 2017 11:57 PM

A Catholic myself, I'm happy about this. When Buddhism prevails, any other religion can survive. If Sri Lanka becomes Islamic, all the non-Islamic religions would be finished.

Hope the Saudi, UAE, Kuwaiti, Omani, Malaysian embassies does not see your silly comment.

A.K. Adwani Saturday, 16 December 2017 07:23 AM

Refrain from making stupid comments, from 1956 to 1983 the Tamils suffered because of some of the crooks buddhists and muslims too alongside the conflict got caught

Terminator> Thursday, 21 December 2017 01:35 PM

Don't make this kind of stupid comment. People like you only create communal issues in the country. Major viruses!

Silva Friday, 15 December 2017 02:30 AM

Both are birds of a feather...

raj Friday, 15 December 2017 04:36 AM

how about Friday which is considered sacred for Hindus and muslims.

mali Friday, 15 December 2017 10:29 AM

Muslims attend Jumma on fridays and their business establishments are closed during prayers. Hindus attend early morning or evening or at their convenience. But poya and sunday being holidays buddhist and christian establishments must be closed and make necessary people exercise their faith.

Siva Friday, 15 December 2017 05:33 AM

Nothing surprising both are Sinhalese supremacists one Buddhist the other catholic. Birds of a feather flock together.

Lord Wolfstein Friday, 15 December 2017 10:49 AM

Apart from the fact that the cardinal, unlike the monk, is a gentleman, both do not have to interfere in private family affairs and family planning in this secular state. Both try to stop the constant loss of their followers with all available options. The loss of believers means the loss of power and influence.

mali Friday, 15 December 2017 10:52 AM

It is pity there are so many temples and Buddhist hierarchy, specially the clergy, but only this monk is making every effort, others are busy reading the constitution and confused.

sobers Friday, 15 December 2017 12:49 PM

Religion is something personnel, No one can force it upon you. Sunday, Monday or any other auspicious day it is for the individual to decide and practice or go to worship in religious places . We don't need to be fanatics.

Love Sri Lanka Friday, 15 December 2017 01:16 PM

Dear Cardinal, Please do not associate your self with RACIST!

Jerome Sunday, 17 December 2017 12:23 PM

He is not associating, just scratching their back to be in good books

gamini Friday, 15 December 2017 03:45 PM

so the two religious men without families,met to discuss family planning matters

A.K. Adwani Saturday, 16 December 2017 07:27 AM

This comment should be considered as the best comment for the year 2017, congratulations Mr. Gamini

dilip Saturday, 16 December 2017 04:10 PM

I think they both belong to the same clan, one is supposed to be the next pope, holy shit.

AAA Sunday, 17 December 2017 10:40 AM

We can't enforce the faith to people's mind unless they would realize themselves.It's not about how you better than other religion..It's about how true you for your religion..

Ajja Tuesday, 19 December 2017 08:17 AM

Pada Show....

Sangaralingham Thursday, 21 December 2017 09:47 AM
