A senior metropolitan of the Jacobite Syrian Church has hailed the Communist Party of India- (Marxist) for branding Jesus Christ as the “the greatest revolutionary and liberator in human history.”
"There is nothing wrong in what CPI(M) has done. I am a Christian who believes that Christ has been the greatest revolutionary in history," said Metropolitan Verghese Mar Koorilos after visiting the exhibition organised here as part of the CPI(M)'s 20th state conference.
He said that if Christ’s picture was not there, the list of liberators would not have been complete. “The controversy over this has no relevance," he added.
He said that he believed Kerala society is mature enough to understand this and concede there is nothing wrong at the way exhibition organisers looked at Christ.
Defending display of a picture of the crucified Christ, CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat had earlier said that it was not done to run down religion or basic tenets of Christianity.
The CPI(M) was also embarrassed over politicising of the 'The Last Supper' painting.
