Pope on India

Re: Pope on India

Church leaders in India have defended the pope's comments.
Cardinal Telesphore Toppo of Ranchi told UCA News May 22 the pope did not intend to interfere in India's internal matters. Cardinal Toppo, president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India, is based in the Jharkhand capital of Ranchi, some 760 kilometers (about 470 miles) east of Jabalpur.
