Loreto incident nothing new
Whatever happened at Loreto may have come as a rude shock to many but not me. I have been associated with these Christian missionaries for the last six years during my tenure as head of the paediatric department at Fatima Hospital, Lucknow. The basic purpose of these institutions is to generate faith for Christianity in the majority community. It is a common practice to garland the sick newborn children with a rosary without the permission of the parents, sprinkle holy water and if the child improves the nuns tell the illiterate parents that it was due to Lord Jesus.
