"Father, Son and Holy

Frustrated nuns, in a lesbian relationship & also reported to engage with
priests

Every Christian needs to act. Have you done your bit by sending out an email? Please do.
What does our  inaction, in the face of such blasphemy & sacrilege mean?
Is the Holy Spirit speaking to you  through the Word...
* Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven - Matthew 10:33
* Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God - Luke 12:8

Here are some more reasons, why you should object to these movies...

The response to  The CSF campaign against the two movies Bollywood's "Kya Super  Kool Hai Hum" and Malayalam "Pithavum Puthranum  Parisudhathmavum" (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) has been
tremendous, going by the hundreds of those who have either responded by
writing to the authorities or attending our prayer meets. We will be
publishing soon a partial list of these defenders of the faith - of
course keeping out the Archbishops, Bishops and prominent Christian
leaders, who have written to us, joining in the campaign.

The CSF took
the opportunity to use the regular monthly First Friday Mass at the
Cross Maidan, Mumbai, where I spoke and prayed, highlighting
objectionable portions and why every Christian needs to join in The CSF
protest against such character assassination of the Church and
expressing solidarity with the faultless clergy. Community groups like
the Maharashtra Christian Youth Forum, Association of Concerned
Catholics, Catholics for the Preservation of the Faith, etc. have joined in and we appeal to all individuals to lend The CSF - a helping hand.

The Latest: Its
worse than we expected. More to come?
I wonder what liberals and critics, some from within our
community will have to say when, we update them of even more
objectionable scenes in the movies. Hence, here are some of them in a
protest letter, which you can copy, paste and email to the addresses as
given below:

Dear
Decision-maker,
Sub: Censor scenes of "Kya Super Kool
Hai Hum", Ban movie "Father, Son and Holy Spirit" & Stop Outlook's
Yellow Journalism

Ref: If you would not allow the Clergy of another religion to be treated similarly, then why are Christians
discriminated against.

Please take not of the following movies, which have hurt our religious sentiments. We
would like to know what action has been taken on The CSF campaign
against them -

1. In a Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms production, "Kya Super Kool Hai Hum", the priest is shown in shabby light, which makes a mockery of the Christian sacrament of marriage and the faith. It is a misrepresentation of
priests and the community. The dialogues with double meaning are
unprintable, but here are some objectionable scenes:
    a) The Christan priest is show with religious vestments /
Stole /robe solemnizing a wedding of a bitch and a dog, asking the dogs
to accept each other as husband and wife.
    b) The priest is shown sprinkling Holy Water, while a bitch
and dog are reportedly engaging in a sexual act. The dialogues referring to the sperm of the dog is unprintable.
    c) Actor Anupam Kher says that Mother Mary got his dead
mother reincarnated as a bitch and was around in this life. He was told
this by a godman. Christians as a community, do not believe in
reincarnation, nor in the clergy of other faiths.
    d) Actor Chunky Pandey speaks of his Last Supper with Jesus,
where he says J likes Delhi Darbar biryani and prophesises that Anupal
Kher's father will be reincarnated as a dog to give holy love (sex?) to
his mother (a bitch in present life) and preparations need to be made
for the dogs arrival.

2.
Director T. Deepesh of the Malayalam film, "Pithavum Puthranum
Parisudhathmavum" (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), himself is
quoted - "I have explored the lives of two nuns in a nunnery and have
touched on various aspects, including homosexuality and abortion". It is also reported that the film has a lesbian scene in which two nuns are
seen trying to vent their suppressed sexual emotions. We are also given
to understand that the movie revolves around a nun who was forced to
become a nun due to certain circumstances in life. The film also
allegedly depicts the sexual relationship of nuns with two priests and
also an "emotional" relation with Jesus Christ.

The CSF is also informed that this movie is based on the book 'Amen' written by Sr.
Jesme and is written by Balram Mattanur and produced by Sundar Iraitty
for Track and Trolly Productions. Actors -  Saari, Rajsree Ponnappa and
Dwani (Honey Rose) play the roles of nuns, art director Sabu Cyril plays Jesus Christ, while V.K. Prakash and Sunny Wayne act as priests. What
is being proposed to ensure that such blasphemy and sacrilege is not
shown to the audiences of whom millions are non-Christian and targeting
the community.

We are grateful
to the very many in the Church Hierarchy and Clergy, who have supported
The CSF campaign, which we are determined to carry through, doing the
best we can. The two movies hurt our religious sentiments and is giving
the impression that the government is taking Christians for granted.
Since, it will also set a bad precedent; we call upon you to act against them, under sections 295A of the IPC, the Cinematography Act and
relevant criminal and civil laws. The Censor Board has not been
receptive or effective, when it comes to wrongful portrayal of the
Clergy, Christians or Christianity.

Looking forward to your earliest action.
(YOUR NAME)
The CSF is taking all these related issues together and especially on the "Pithavum
Puthranum Parisudhathmavum" (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) front, The CSF is exhausting all legal remedies, while encouraging each and every
laity, church, parish, diocese, association, organization, etc. to
protest and mark a copy to The CSF for follow-up. We are once again
giving you below email ids of the concerned persons, to whom you can
forward this update:

balaji@balajitelefilms.com; outlook@outlookindia.com; edit@outlookindia.com; pmosb@pmo.nic.in; ambika@sansad.nic.in; psministerib@gmail.com; shetty_vb@yahoo.co.in; rnjha@ymail.com; rsguptagad@yahoo.co.in; chairperson.cbfc@nic.in; ceo.cbfc@nic.in; chiefminister@maharashtra.gov.in; csfpost@gmail.com; inb.mib@gmail.com; dpreddyias@gmail.com; dsfilm.inb@nic.in; ceocbfcmum@rediffmail.com; chairpersoncbfc@cbfcindia.gov.in;  ksfdc@asianetindia.com, adrotvm.cbfc@nic.in, shajikarun@vsnl.com, piravi@asianetindia.com

However, The CSF can't do it alone and need each and every one of you to join
in. Fr. CM Paul, SDB and also who was a member of the Censor Board
Advisory Panel (2007-2009) has commendably written to all concerned.
Augustine suggests we send "Get Well" cards to all those sick people,
connected with the films or even "Condolences & Sympathies", since
their conscience is dead and "Kya Super Kool Hai Hum" has not done as
expected at the box office.

Such publicity
seeks to tarnish the fair name of the Church, Christians and
Christianity, with scenes of sex, ridicule, abortion, scandal,
homosexuality, etc. The movie scenes are far from the truth and do not
depict the correct lifestyle of the clergy, using as excuses - there is
some truth, it is an imaginary work of fiction, it is based on a few
unsubstantiated instances.

The slander of lakhs of priests and
nuns affects the image and is a matter of concern for approximately 25
million Christians, besides millions of secular others, who would not
appreciate the religion or clergy of any faith to be portrayed as such.

Finally, most importantly - The CSF and our fellow-activists need your special prayers. Pray not only for us,
but also our persecutors and pray for the clergy. Often our biggest
opposition comes from our own - a la prophet is never accepted in his
own land. We have also given below some addresses to whom you can direct legal notices or make complaints with, besides of course your
local police station, if they will file an FIR under section or file a
PIL, that religious figures should not be mocked at in media. Do get in
touch with The CSF for any assistance in this regard.

Lets all keep at
it and the Lord will bless us with success.
Blessings &
Respect,
Your brother in
Christ,
