Message: <blockquote data-quote="rapa" data-source="post: 1969162" data-attributes="member: 212">Members of the National Movement Against Terrorism (NMAT) marched in procession from Tilakaratnaramaya, Borella to the Bishop House, Borella where they handed over a memorandum to Bishop Oswald Gomis on the current crisis in the country. <img src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/24/35388/madu123.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In the memorandum the NMAT has urged to ensure that (a) the Madu statue that was taken to LTTE-dominated Wanni be brought back to its rightful place (b) that religious freedom is not manipulated to serve the LTTE agenda and (c) all priests supporting Tiger terrorism be sacked from the Catholic Church (the question arises here why the church could punish Fr. Tissa Balasuriya for what the church called a distortion of the story of the Virgin Mary - mother of Jesus, why cannot the church sack Catholic priests indirectly serving as LTTE agents and spokesmen).<img src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/5/24/35388/madu124.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />NMAT has stressed that it is absolutely wrong for the Catholic Church to be neutral in the current conflict.  Instead it should back the anti-LTTE campaign to which people - regardless of religious beliefs – have extended their unstinted support.</blockquote>
