Govt. does not listen to us: Cardinal

News

The Archbishop of Colombo Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith has hit back at a mercantile sector executive who accused him of being against the Yahapalanaya Government.It was over moves by the Government to use a Jaela area as a rubbish dump.

The Archbishop says: “No, I am not against it, in fact I voted for it and I am sorry about it, because they don’t listen to the people. May be they listen to the business community and rich people like you, but they don’t feel for those who suffer the effects of misguided development including the legalisation of homosexuality, prostitution and the plague of abortion which is blue murder, which are being gradually introduced. So much for religious values”!
