    I had always reservations when people get converted to Christianity. But today I fully support this diocese of Mangalore for their unique contribution towards common mass even if they force them to convert. Owning a House in this difficult time really a dream comes true for those can’t afford to build a small hut even. May God Jesus give more strength and sources to this Diocese to continue in their sincere effort like this.
