Abhijit Naskar
“Sonnet 1412

The Catholic Church is one of the
ghastliest invading forces in history,
alongside the British, French and Spaniards.
But don't confuse the Vatican with Jesus -
Jesus was rejuvenation, Vatican, disaster.

Jesus was a spirit of love and light,
the answer of his time to bigotry.
Yet he ended up as institutional excuse
in new exploits of counterfeit piety.

You say, Jesus died for your sins,
Yet you killed more people in his name.
Vatican is the epitome of unholiness,
Slaves to Vatican are clinically insane.

Not just Vatican, but every religious
institution is a septic tank of prejudice.
Till you cut ties to all authoritarianism,
you'll never sense the spark of holiness.”
Abhijit Naskar, Dervis Vadisi: 100 Promissory Sonnets

Pope Benedict XVI
“I believe that it is dangerous for a young person simply to go from achieving goal after goal, generally being praised along the way. So it is good for a young person to experience his limit, occasionally to be dealt with critically, to suffer his way through a period of negativity, to recognise his own limits himself, not simply to win victory after victory. A human being needs to endure something in order to learn to assess himself correctly, and not least to learn to think with others. Then he will not simply judge others hastily and stay aloof, but rather accept them positively, in his labours and his weaknesses.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Last Testament: In His Own Words
