Indian Diocese turns to rosary in fight against alcohol
Montag 15. November 2010 von htm
A Catholic diocese in southern India has used a Marian rosary procession as an opportunity to campaign against alcohol abuse among its people.
Some 1,000 people attended the Nov. 13 convention and a procession at Kodencherry, a Catholic stronghold in Kozhikode district of Kerala state. They recited the rosary and carried placards urging people to quit alcohol in the major parish of Thamarassery diocese.

There is a great need for political action, according to the global alcohol strategy of the WHO resolution in May.
