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

-10+20#Chamara2010-08-23 12:03

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

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.

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

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.

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.
