: No, April. I'm afraid there is no official position on Hindu avatars.
: The Church would, of course, deny that anyone but Jesus of Nazareth was the Incarnation of God the Second Person of the Trinity. Avatars would probably be viewed as mystics with extraordinary psychic gifts, and it is recognized that such are
: to be found among the religions of the world. Christianity itself is rife with mystics who demonstrated miraculous powers, but who did not claim to be an incarnation of God.

Thank you Phil. It helps. I'm just pretty
impressed
with the stuff I've read about Sai Baba.
Some of his supposed "miracles" are almost
identical to those of Jesus.
This brings me to another question...If we
are all brothers and sisters of Jesus, aren't
we also, in some modified way of course,
incarnations? We talked about this on list....
we are other Christs, right?
Thanks.
