Thiruvanthapuram (Kerala): The Divine Retreat Centre in Kerala's Muringoor's claim to fame is that it is the largest Catholic healing centre in the world. It's catch line: come away by yourself to a lonely place and rest a while.
However, there is a catch. More than 975 mysterious deaths have happened in the centre - that Kerala Police is now investigating - and there have been allegations of rape and murder.

This is a tragedy or perhaps an accusation, only time will tell

975 deaths, unbelievable!

What are they doing exactly in this center?

Were they supposed to be cured by a miracle or something? I think I read that some saints or priests cure people by miracles or something like that..
or is it similar to an ordinary hospital?

A retreat is like a hide-away. A place where you go to rest and pray in this case.

It's like getting away from everyday life to rest, cencentrate and think about healing and in this case, spirituality too.

Does this mean Christians should go now to a priest to treat them, but there is always the risk to be abused?

That is off-topic, you can PM me such Q's

One month old tragedy is not that old especially that the mysterious deaths have not been solved yet

but there is always the risk to be abused?

Unfortunately those criminals do not differntiate between a child, a lady or even a grown up hairy man! I won't be surprised if such horrific acts will involve pets in the future
