Coronavirus failed only in front of religions, what Marx and Vayalar said is becoming true, says Geevarghese Mar Coorilos

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Geevarghese Mar Coorilos, Metropolitan of Niranam Diocese of Malankara Jacobite Syriac Orthodox Church, said that the coronavirus failed only in front of religions.

"Although the virus has been able to stifle the poison of religion for some time, after a while the venom of racism, hatred and superstition started spreading with increasing vigor and vengeance. Statements that evoke fear and hatred are being made. We give up the care and humanity we reclaimed during the flood and the worst-hit phase of the pandemic and become prisoners of bigotry again. What Marx said in his country and Vayalar in ours is true! Should we invite a new pandemic to learn that humanity is greater than religion?" He wrote on Facebook.
