1) Here is the thread about the Churches protested against:

- Vizhinjam Port
- Kudankulam Nuclear Plant
- Sterlite Copper Plant
- Bengaluru Metro Construction

Role of Churches in various protests across India should be investigated.

2) Vizhinjam Port:

Black flags hoisted in Churches of the Latin Archdiocese in Thiruvananthapuram.

Currently, Chruch is protesting against the Vizhinjam port in Kerala.
3) Vizhinjam Port:

Latin Catholic Church in Kerala is leading protest against Vizhinjam port.

Govt already agreed to five of the seven demands of protesters and also ready to discuss on other 2 demands.

But, Church is still using fishermen & people of villages for their agenda
4) Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant in Tamil Nadu:

Most of the people who took part in the rally organised at Nagercoil were from the various Catholic parishes.

St. Lourdes Church premises at Idinthakarai was converted into protest venue.
5) Many churches urged the people to join protest against Kudankulam plant in Tamil Nadu

Kudankulam is highest-capacity nuclear plant in India, with 2,000 MW currently installed. Once completed, plant will have a capacity of 6,000 MW

Plant faced numerous delays due to protests
6) Sterlite Copper Plant:

Various churches protested. They used sunday as protest day.

Members of Catholic Fernandez community that lives in a settlement along Thoothukudi’s coast, marched to collector’s office from ‘Our Lady of Snows’ church.

Pastor Lazarus played major role.
7) Bengaluru Metro:

This is interesting.

Defence land was given to Church of South India (CSI) on lease.

CSI sold land to Bangalore Metro for ₹60 Cr.

'All Saints Church' protested against Metro construction asking to Save Trees.

And, CSI is parent body of All Saints Church.
