ON MARCH 14 AT 6:00 PM, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN ‘INSPECTOR OF POLICE’. SPEAKING IN KANNADA, HE INFORMED ME THAT AN ARREST WARRANT HAS BEEN ISSUED AGAINST ME FOR “HARASSMENT”. THE CALLER DEMANDED PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM ME WHICH I PROVIDED. MEANWHILE MR. FRANCIS LOBO RECEIVED A SERIES OF THREATENING ANONYMOUS CALLS, OBVIOUSLY ORCHESTRATED BY DOMINIC DIXON, ACCUSING HIM OF UNSPECIFIED CRIMINAL ACTS.
Here is the response of Fr. Faustine Lobo, National Director-Pontifical Mission Societies, and my reply to him.
Actually, his “response” to me was a forward of his response to Mr. Dominic Dixon who made an appeal to Fr. Faustine Lobo that was rejected by the priest. Mr. Dominic Dixon’s letter to Fr. Lobo is also copied here.

Dear Mr. Dominic Dixon,
I feel that I can not serve your organization in any capacity as it is impossible for me to make time as I am too much involved in the activities of the Pontifical Mission Organization. Hence, I request you to leave out my name either from the list of consultors/Board members or from the faculty of the Ethos.
Hence, don’t quote my name anywhere as the ‘above mentioned’ hereafter.
Fr. Faustine L. Lobo

Dear Fr. Faustine,
Peace & Greetings.
Fr. Its [sic]
has been brought to our intention [sic]
that some elememts [sic]
claiming to be Catholic investigators and supposidly [sic]
guardians of the Catholic Church have been causing havoc and misunderstanding amongst the faithful for many years.
During our prayerful enquiry, we intercepted emails and phone conversation transcrips [sic]
between these elements, yourself and others.
[Emphasis mine]
Namely Michael Prabhu from Chennai and Sunil Lobo from Bangalore.
Michael is not an approved ministry and neither does any diocese have an ‘investigation commission.’ This man has written against the Holy Father, against our Bishops and Priests. Michael in [sic]
banned from attending Catholic conferences as he was last banned from the CCR Goa conference for earning a name as a mischief maker.
In November, out of the blue, Sunil had asked me for our documents of approval and we had no idea who this man is. He only sent us mails but never wanted to meet us when we had invited him. We refused to give him any documents as we need to protect the integrity of the Church.
We had invited a Pastor as a speaker who is an expert in his area of teaching which is in line with the Eccumenism [sic]
commission of the Archdiocese.
As a Ministry, we are an Association of Faith under the Vicariate of Arabia under the name Holy Spirit Interactive (Canon 312, 2/314/317) and approved by the Archdiocese of Bangalore.
As you know, we are in good standing and harmony with our Diocese. We are a registered Trust snd [sic]
submit our audited reports to the Archbishop and Chairman of the BCCRS.
Please feel free to speak to Simon Rodrigues about this matter and the integrity of our standing. His number is +919342161851. Simon is copied in this mail.
Fr. Thank you for standing with us.
Love, Dom

Dear Reverend Father Faustine Lobo,
I thank you for this forwarded response of yours to Mr. Dominic Dixon.
If you had done the same earlier, on the basis of my initial private report to you and three subsequent unanswered reminders, and taken up the matter with the Archbishop about Mr. Dixon’s misrepresentations of approval from certain authorities, I would not have had to put my report in the public domain and he would not have had to threaten me and Mr. Francis Lobo with phone-tapping, physical assault by Bangalore thugs, and arrest warrants.
In addition to what I had informed you in my letter of “March 13, 2013 12:46 PM”, he has arranged yesterday to have me rudely called and informed [in Kannada] that a police warrant has been issued for my arrest.
By the way, all of what he has charged me and my ministry with in his letter to you of March 12 is absolute lies and total fabrication – which is not surprising considering they come from a man of his character — and which you yourself might have already understood as false. After all, he has now shamelessly informed you that “During our prayerful enquiry, we intercepted emails and phone conversation transcrips [sic] between these elements, yourself and others“, meaning that he has tapped your phones! But you do not appear to have minded.
I would suggest that you bring this matter to the immediate and urgent attention of the Archbishop of Bangalore, with the request that he institute an inquiry into both of our ministries, Mr. Dominic Dixon’s and mine, and you have my assurance that I will present myself in Bangalore and depose before any such commission of inquiry. I would welcome such an inquiry because it would bring wide media attention to the many New Age and other errors in the Archdiocese of Bangalore which I have repeatedly pointed out to the Archbishop in a series of letters before I eventually gave up because they elicited no response. See ARCHBISHOP OF BANGALORE-LETTERS FROM THIS MINISTRY 06 AUGUST 2007/UPDATED DECEMBER 2009 http://ephesians-511.net/docs/ARCHBISHOP_OF_BANGALORE-LETTERS_FROM_THIS_MINISTRY.doc
You may access my latest updated report http://ephesians-511.net/docs/MORELOVE-HOLYSPIRITINTERACTIVE-SOUL_TIES_AND_ETHOS_INSTITUTE.doc on Mr. Dominic Dixon/MoreLove tonight when it will be uploaded on my site, so I will not burden you here with my refutation of his false charges.
May I also inform you that the “recognition” of Mr. Dixon’s activities by the International Association of Deliverance, a private association and NOT A VATICAN BODY AS DIXON FALSELY CLAIMS, has been withdrawn as communicated to me.
With regards, Michael
A SEPARATE COPY OF MY EMAIL TO FR. FAUSTINE LOBO WAS FORWARDED TO

Dear Rev. Fr. A. Sagayanathan,
For your kind information please.
Michael Prabhu
Catholic apologist
[As above]
Apart from the letters reproduced above, I possess many more letters from Mr. Dominic Dixon that may require exposure if necessity demands. Those letters include attacks on those who he perceives to be his personal enemies, and letters from me requesting him — time and again — to remove my name from any association with his ministry. I was obliged to do that because he would plan programmes including me in them without my consent or give me high-sounding titles and exaggerated attributes as he is accustomed to giving himself. I have declined all of his invitations to participate in MoreLove programmes not because I thought that they were bad, but because of his acquired reputation for character assassination.
Having said that, I will now refute, one by one, the false statements, lies and fabrications that he has levelled against me and my ministry in his letter of March 12, 2013 to Fr. Faustine Lobo, and which he copied to Mr. Simon Rodrigues, the Chairman of the Bangalore Service Team of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal who endorses his activities.
I. Fr. Its [sic]
has been brought to our intention [sic]
that some elememts [sic]
claiming to be Catholic investigators and supposidly [sic]
guardians of the Catholic Church have been causing havoc and misunderstanding amongst the faithful for many years.
Mr. Dominic Dixon lies. He only wrote the letter on March 12 when he became aware of my report to Fr. Faustine Lobo, MORELOVE-HOLYSPIRITINTERACTIVE-SOUL TIES AND ETHOS INSTITUTE
http://ephesians-511.net/docs/MORELOVE-HOLYSPIRITINTERACTIVE-SOUL_TIES_AND_ETHOS_INSTITUTE.doc was on which is on my web site since January 31. It was from that very same day, March 12, that Mr. Francis Lobo and I began receiving anonymous telephone calls and threats.
We have never claimed to be “Catholic investigators“.
II. During our prayerful enquiry, we intercepted emails and phone conversation transcrips [sic]
between these elements, yourself and others.
[Emphasis mine] Namely Michael Prabhu from Chennai and Sunil Lobo from Bangalore.
I have made just one call to Fr. Faustine Lobo, and that was on November 5, to confirm the appointment for me that Mr. Lobo had taken on his name. Mr. Lobo’s calls were made in October 2012. Mr. Dominic Dixon therefore has had, by his own admission, the telephones of Fr. Faustine Lobo under surveillance since at least October 2012, and he has the audacity to inform that to the priest! Amazingly, either that fact has not registered with Fr. Lobo or he is not perturbed by that revelation which constitutes a criminal act. It also verifies our already published disclosure that he informed Mr. Lobo that his phone was being monitored!
And for what purpose may we ask, since he only reacted to my report on MoreLove on March 12, 2013?
III. Michael is not an approved ministry and neither does any diocese have an ‘investigation commission.’
I have never claimed that mine is an “approved” ministry. However, I have received over a thousand letters from bishops, archbishops, Cardinals, the Papal Nuncios and Vatican dicasteries, many of them available in different reports on my web site, and not a single one of them has questioned the Roman Catholicity of this ministry, its complete fidelity to Magisterial teaching (… or my psychological stability!).
Again, we have never claimed to be an “‘investigation commission’“.
IV. This man has written against the Holy Father, against our Bishops and Priests.
All information published by this ministry is sourced from material that is already in the public domain; it is analysed and commented upon by me. In reporting doctrinal and liturgical abuse and exposing error, I make every attempt to be objective, but that may not always be possible. One may read Mr. Dixon’s coarse posts on a blog which describes itself as “Catholic” but is in reality anti-Catholic.
All the information published by me in the MoreLove exposé is documented as always [sources are given].
Mr. Dixon should explain what he means when he insists that I have “written against the Holy Father“. While he would be laughed at for making such a ridiculous claim by anyone who is familiar with my work, it is possible that he intentionally refers to a hypothetical scenario that I painted about the present impossibility of having an Indian Pope. If I have “written against … our Bishops and Priests“, my work is in the public domain and it is up to the individual Bishops or Bishops’ Conferences or their Executive Commissions to evaluate whether I am undermining the Catholic Faith or defending it. That eventuality would be improbable considering that a large number of them have been and continue to be in touch with this ministry.
I might add that the document on the Holy Father that Mr. Dixon refers to has received endorsements from theologians, priests, seminarians, overseas Catholic ministries and even a Cardinal who was an elector at the recent conclave that elected Pope Francis!!! Their letters are included in the referred document.
V. Michael in [sic]
banned from attending Catholic conferences as he was last banned from the CCR Goa conference for earning a name as a mischief maker.
I repeat: all information published by this ministry is sourced from material that is already in the public domain; that is to say, it is documented. The onus is on Mr. Dixon to proffer [even one word of] evidence from ANY source outside of my own writings that I have been “banned from attending Catholic conferences” or any single “Catholic conference“, even the “the CCR Goa conference“. It would be a blessing to me, because I have tried desperately to obtain any printed evidence of that, but failed miserably.
In fact, I have attended the said conference on the personal invitation of senior national leaders who can vouch for that. My integrity has never been called into question. Mr. Dixon’s has, always, and even now is.
VI. In November, out of the blue, Sunil had asked me for our documents of approval and we had no idea who this man is. He only sent us mails but never wanted to meet us when we had invited him. We refused to give him any documents as we need to protect the integrity of the Church.
All correspondence between Sunil [Mr. Francis Lobo] and Mr. Dixon was reproduced in the initial portion of the MoreLove report. No “documentation” was ever sought by him from Mr. Dixon. Straightforward questions from Sunil were answered with lies and devious explanations.
Dixon never invited Sunil over as claimed by him. This has been recorded already in this report, pages 5 & 6.
VII. We had invited a Pastor as a speaker who is an expert in his area of teaching which is in line with the Eccumenism [sic]
commission of the Archdiocese.
That does not alter the fact that he is a Protestant Methodist pastor TEACHING a subject described as “Soul Ties” to Catholics of a claimed Catholic group on the premises of a Catholic church WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PARISH PRIEST FR. A. SAGAYANATHAN, as informed to me on November 7, 2012.
And the issue had nothing to do with ‘Eccumenism’; maybe if Dr. Dixon could spell the word correctly, we could take it from there.
VIII. Please feel free to speak to Simon Rodrigues about this matter and the integrity of our standing.
Now this is one of those rare instances when I am not being objective or relying on documentation. At the same time I am not making unsubstantiatible allegations.
Mr. Simon Rodrigues might be the leader of the Bangalore Service Team of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal [CCR] but I insist that he is more Protestant than he is Catholic. I have communicated my opinion in writing to the national leadership of the CCR and have noted it in a few of my reports, so it is not a new issue. If anyone requires me to write a separate report on that, it would be my pleasure to do so, since the Bangalore CCR has a history of nurturing closet Pentecostals. Mr. Simon Rodrigues spoke a false prophecy about my ministry in the present of a reputable Catholic witness in his Bangalore office in an effort to get me to abandon my ministry a few years ago. Interestingly, he was harbouring a Pentecostal pastor named Anthony Samuel in his residence. Anthony Samuel was present in the office of Simon Rodrigues at the same time that I had been taken along by a friend to meet him. The meeting ended with the false prophecy that caused my Catholic friend great consternation. Anthony Samuel has influenced many Catholics in Bangalore, Chennai and his home-town Secunderabad to reject Church teachings on sacraments, life [contraception], sacramentals, Marian devotion, etc. A number of these “Catholics” including Simon Rodrigues still look upon Anthony Samuel as a brother, host him at their homes and functions and defend him against criticism.
The point that must be noted is that many of these Catholics joined Samuel’s ‘church‘ when his cover was blown after this ministry exposed him!! Till that time, no one outside a closed circle knew the truth!
A number of Bangalore charismatics are “under the influence”. One cannot expect yours truly to be popular with this bunch of pseudo-Catholics, certainly not the Simon Rodrigues who Mr. Dixon appeals to!!!!!

I REST MY CASE.
