Sixth World Congress for the Pastoral care of the Nomadic Catholics was held in Freising, Germany in September from 1-4, 2008 under the leadership of Archbishop Aostino Marchetto, Secretary of the pontifica Council, Vatican. In this Congress over two hundred delegates including India had come from all over the word comprising of Cardinals, Bishops, papal Nuncio, Monsignors, Archbishops, Priests, lay persons, Gypsies, Gypys youth, scholars from Europe of both Indian and European origin, including Gypsy or Banjara Youth.

The Archbishop Agostino Marchetto, spoke very strongly and sympathetically for accommodating the European and other Gypsy Catholics, in the Catholics churches at various levels in Sunday gatherings, parish councils, seminaries and convents, and other areas of like including in the secular areas of various countries. There was a good, occasion to discuss but genuine for the Gypsies liked among the delegates who looked like to again monitoring and managing their places of importance and the positions.

The final document consists of 7 pages describing of 18 very relevant points. Such apartheid or the discriminatory attitudes are experienced and observed by the Gypsies all over the world, nomadic tribal Catholics in India too experience the same behaviors from the Indigenous nomadic Catholics is seen and experienced by the members of their communities, in an original Catholic Church of Jesus as Claimed who do not imbibe love for the poor Gypsies in Europe and nomadic Catholics in India such as Jesus. In such as case where there is no spirit of Jesus is seen, will there be any use of the final document issued very enthusiastically by the Catholic church in Freising, in collaboration with Catholic Bishops from Germany, in September 2008…?
