[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 161123, member: 17438"] My dear brother Ambarsaria! cheerleader I am not in the least offended! On the contrary I feel like I've received a most excellent compliment! The name of Sikh is imbued with all of the wonderful values of your faith. That's a compliment - and then some! May I return the compliment though and say that I think that you are an excellent Catholic (the name means "Universal" in Latin!). To be Catholic means that one is Universal - and there are few religions with as Universal a mindset as Sikhism! I learned today about an incredible Sikh man called Harbhajan Singh Yogi. He was educated in a Catholic convent school as a child. He visited Pope Paul VI in 1972 and advised him to convene a gathering of friendship and understanding for representatives of all religions. He reminded Paul VI that catholic meant "universal" and suggested that, as head of the world's largest religious organization, he would be the most suitable leader to host such a meeting. He maintained his relationship with the Catholic Church under Pope John Paul II. In 1983 and again in 1984, they met. When the Golden Temple in Amritsar came under assault from the Indian Army with the loss of life of many hundreds of pilgrims, the Pope offered his official condolences. In 1986 Pope John Paul II convened a gathering of religious representatives of the world such as Singh had proposed fourteen years earlier - so we Catholics in effect have to thank our Sikh brothers for that phenomenal 1986 interfaith gathering that is considered the highlight of the ecumenical movement!!! Some Sikhs are actually more [I]Catholic [/I]than some of my fellow [I]Catholics. gingerteakaur[/I] Indeed the Church Fathers taught: "...How many sheep there are without, how many wolves within!...When we speak of within and without in relation to the Church, it is the position of the heart that we must consider, not that of the body.... All who are within in heart are saved in the unity of the ark..." [I]- Saint Augustine, Church Father (354–430 AD), Baptism 5:28:39[/I] "...He was ours [a Catholic] even before he was of our fold. His way of living made him such. For just as many of ours are not with us, whose life makes them other from our body [the Church], so many of those outside [the Church] belong to us, who by their way of life anticipate the faith and need only the name, having the reality..." [I]- St. Gregory of Nazianzus, <ORATION>18.5 (c. 374 AD)[/I] From these two early Church Fathers we learn that there is a very important distinction between having the [I]name[/I] of Catholic and being [I]bodily[/I] a formal member of the Church; and on the other hand having the [I]reality[/I] of a Christian and a member of the Church in [I]heart. Its those who have the heart and reality who are true Catholics, not those who bear the mere name and bodily membership! [/I] In truth I wish I knew more about the beautiful Sikh faith than I currently do but I am learning every day. I hope to learn as much as possible! For that I really need a good English translation of the Guru Granth Sahib - could you give me any pointers dear brother? winkingmunda I've mostly read the Granth so far online but its not the same as having a hand copy.
