Christian Church Under Suspicion On “S”

Hi! It’s Shellile Linn.

Situation of Christian and Catholic Church under Abe dictation and Nippon Kaigi control had been “not getting better, but not getting bad”.

For example, a little parish Catholic Church suburb of Tokyo asking some volunteer “parking watchers” who also watching possible “S” the spy or  in case of police officer’s visit during Mass. 

Some disturbance had happened since several years ago, so the parish members are doing our own best to figure out the possible “S” occurs the confussion and scare those faithful but old, weak, sick man and women especially.

However, the situation is getting worse so rapidly since the the Conspiracy Law, which is  worse than “Peace Preservation Law” issued around the Great Earthquake in Tokyo on September 1st, 1923.

The peace Preservation Law which abolished right after WWII had legalised the security agent to check the homily and preaching in Christian Church. 

So, the Catholic priests and pastors of the Protestant churches had used some Bible verses and the Biblical story as the secret information tool to let parish member get the correct information on the situation given to each Church to stay in our faith.

Although the Constitution of Japan guarantees the freedom of religion at this moment, I’ve heard a rummer that a protestant Christian Church nearby a small office of local group which protest for Abe cabinet and Nippon Kaigi politics.

Nippon Kaigi seemed to use exactly same method to spread out their “Nipponism”. 

Nippon Kaigi’s Nipponism is basically more political than something religious. 

For example, there was “Shidai Shohachiman Shinto Shrine” in Yamaguchi prefecture which is the home land of PM Abe Shinzo. To construct Kamiji Nuclear Power Plant, government asked the Shrine to sell the goddess Hachiman’s forest, which is the natural goddess itself to the Shidai villagers. 

So, Shinto priest, Shuji Hayasi refused to sell the land of goddess Hachiman according to his faith that he can never sell the land to ruin the nature by nuclear power plant. 

His protest wasn’t supported by Jinja-Honcho Yamaguchi area priests nor Jinja-Honcho, which is already hacked over by Nippon Kaigi for sometime several decades ago. 

Priest Hayashi was tutored by higher priests,  resigned not by his will, and died by mysterious reason during the trial on his resignation. 

Nippon Kaigi’s Nipponism is an empty case called “Japanese bashful pride”. 

With high pride and co-dependent juvenile and tender heart, Nipponist always need hate, enemy and weak one to blame on.

For Nipponist, Christians and Catholics are the easiest target to make up the image of “the hostile crusaders against Nipponists” although the Japanese Christians and Catholics are basically deeply faithful. 

Maybe I’m also concerned as one of the hostile crusaders against Nipponist just because I’ve been writing the blog on Christian faith in Japanese way.

I’m very sure that Christianity is very much acceptable religion for many Japanese if we aren’t in socially difficult situation. 

Christians in Japan is bit less than 1% of the national population. And except very few brave lay Christians, we cannot even say “I’m Christian” at  job, at work. 

So many Christian mothers are prohibited to give Christian education and baptism by her husband by unreasonable prejudice. 

From now on, we’ll need to be very careful on “S” officially. 


Pray for Christians in Japan as well as those Christians under difficulty in other area of the world.
