Redemptorist Priest Refuses UN Prize Money

Fr. Kocherry in New Delhi has rejected a UN Foundation prize of 646 thousand euros towards his work with Indian fisherman. He sees the money as coming from multinational companies who actually block social justice and who are interested in buying people off.

Fr. Kocherry is very straightforward with the reporter from AsiaNews as he says, “the time has come to reveal what is the true diabolical nature of the United Nations and all of its collaborators. I will go on doing what I have always done, maybe with the few resources that I have at my disposal but with a clean conscience, without falling into the trap of greed for money. We are in search of the Divine Kingdom and its justice, but we know that it’s a long and difficult process which foresees the cross”.
