MONEY MAKER PE.VIGARS & PRIESTS.

Further to my article in this forum in the first week of May this year on members of clergy climbing on top to collect money for their personal benefit by making use of the position in the Church, immediately then after our Pope at Vatican also issued a statement condemning the Clergy who follow Jesus for money. I don’t know whether He read the said article or not even though I regularly send one  copy to Vatican yet in his statement the Pope echoed my thoughts as indicated below. 

In the month of May this year, our Pope Francis from Vatican commented against those clergy members who by using the Church platform, collect money for them.  Here it is what the Pope has said of the corrupt clergy by condemning them as profiteers and climbers who use the Catholic Church  to make money for them. Said the Pope, “There are climbers in the Church. There are a lot of them. People who follow Jesus for money, try to profit from the parish, the diocese, the Christian community, the hospital, the college. We have known a lot of good Catholics, good Christians.  And then we discover that they have been carrying out somewhat shady dealings. They were real profiteers and they made a lot of money. They presented themselves as benefactors but they took a lot of money and not always clean money”. Further adding, Pope Francis demanded total transparency in all the financial dealings of the Church and of clergy.

As far as I know not a single Pe. Vigar disclosed this comment from the Altar while preaching his homily, however, if Pope Francis had to request the clergy to ask money and other material benefits from the faithful, our Pe. Vigars and other priests would immediately disclose this loudly with top priority. According to one source from Vatican, Pope Francis is very much disappointed with the indiscipline of the Bishops and Priests who are on loot spree by sucking the blood of the faithful. It looks Pope Francis is aware of the loot systematically conducted in our Churches also and this loot will never end unless there is complete transparency of all the financial dealings and financial matters of our Church.   

Is our Goa Church maintaining total transparency in its financial dealings? Does it show transparency in the money it spends, especially the money it collects from the faithful? Is there any discipline for the Church authorities and clergy to collect money from the faithful?   Our Church leaders and clergy go about ruthlessly like wild animals in collecting money from the faithful.  Last year in the month of August I was on a short vacation in Goa. This incident happened in one Parish below my nose and similar incidents happened elsewhere too. To collect money for that particular Parish, the local Pe. Vigar printed Lottery Tickets, each ticket Rs. 10/- and each book consisting of 20 tickets.  These tickets the Pe. Vigar who is also the principal of the Parish School marketed thru all the students studying in his school by distributing one book to each student.  If there are 3 students from each family then three books to each family. It was a big burden for the children and even for their parents.

Most of the students found it very difficult to sell these tickets however, to please their Pe. Vigar/Principal of the school they even started begging with the people to purchase these lottery tickets. When one young girl student approached one young boy with a request to purchase some tickets from her, the cunning boy said “Not only some but I will buy the whole book provided you come to have sex with me”.  And very deplorably and pitiably the girl having no other choice to dispose of the tickets book, surrendered her body to that stupid boy. This is only one incident which I know but in this way there are innumerable such incidents which gone unnoticed.  And who is responsible for such incidents? Definitely our Pe. Vigars and principals who are acting more like Pimps than Pe. Vigars.

Thru these incidents our Pe. Vigars are creating avenues for our young boys and young girls to commit sins resulting in collecting money, for whom?  Where this money finally goes and into whose pockets?  Surely a portion of this money goes for the maintenance of the Concubines of Pe. Vigars/Principals. In view of this, we have no right to ask God in our daily prayer for “THY KINGDOM COME” because HIS Kingdom will never come to a place where there is Sin promoted thru illicit money making methods of our sinful and corrupt Pe. Vigars and other priests.

Education department of Goa under the ministry of Parricar should investigate into this matter because Pe. Vigar Principals cannot tax the students by unnecessarily burdening them on such money collection business. It is not the job of school students to collect money for the unknown ventures of the Pe. Vigar Principals. At an appropriate time, Education minister of Goa will be notified to take corrective action and to reprimand the guilty.

DAVLIKAR'S HINDU RASHTRA.

On Thursday, Dhavalikar, who belongs to Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party (MGP), while speaking during a motion congratulating Modi on becoming PM had said: "If we all support it and we stand by Narendra Modi systematically, then I feel a Hindu Rashtra will be established."

There is a saying in Konkani which says, “mazor imsann kednanch soddchem na”. Similarly, Davlikar as a child of communal and anti-Christian MG Party will never give up his anti-Christian and pro-Hindu campaign. MG Party was formed only to work against Goan Christians and if possible to liquidate them from Goa by minimizing their influence on every segment of society. 

In this direction, MGP’s first move was to merge Goa with Maharastra thereby deGoanise Goa of Christian influence by bringing mostly the third rated Hindu Maharastrians and settle them in Goa just as Israel did in Palestine where the original Palestinians were uprooted from their dwellings and in their places the foreigner Jews were implanted. Goa being a small place and Christians in Goa being small in number would easily get swallowed by the arrival of influx from  Maharastra  And ultimately, in this process the major victims would be Goan Christians who would be the losers in all respects.

The hatred of MGP towards Goan Christians will never die though their goal of merging Goa with Maharastra was stopped permanently but still their another goal of hatred towards Christians will never die inspite of the fact that the hardcore MGP stalwarts like Dayananda Bandodkar already dead and  gone into extinction.  As long as these Davlikars as scum of MGP are alive and active in Goan politics, their hatred for Goan Christians will always remain. Hatred for Christians is deep rooted in their genes for this reason they coined the term “ZALACH PAYIJE” which finally Goan Christians made it  “KHALAS  PAYIJE” in the Opinion Poll.

One Davlikar brother is harping on Bikinis saying it is not a Bharati cultural dress code.  What do we care for Bharati culture? Our culture is a Goan culture which is much distinct from Bharati culture which is cruel and because Goa is much different from Bharat even though Bharat Serkar under crook Nehru forcibly annexed Goa and integrated it with Bharat without taking Goans into confidence. On Goa’s case, Nehru acted worst than the worst dictator Salazar.  This forcible annexation of Goa is wrongly dubbed as Liberation which the Supreme Court of India called a “CONQUEST” and NOT a Liberation. Hence, all the patriotic Goans must henceforth stop using the word Liberation which is legally wrong as per the Supreme Court judgment.

Wearing of Bikinis is against the Bharati culture according to Davlikar but promoting corruption by accepting the BRIBE to award PWD contracts is as per Bharati culture? Can Davlikar answer this?

A FEMALE STUDENT MOLESTED IN CANDOLIM CHURCH SCHOOL.

On Saturday, the 19th of this month in the evening, the TV Channels of Goa, in their respective News items broadcast a very important news which disgraced the fair image of Candolim and that of the Candolim Parish School/Higher Secondary School which is under the direct control of the Candolim Church authority which in turn is under the control of Bishop House, Panjim, Altinho.  According to the telecast news broadcast, the President of NGO “Human Rights Defenders”, Mr. Edwin Fernandes speaking to the TV Channels, cited the case of molestation of a young girl student of St. Thresa’s Higher Secondary School, Candolim, by her own male teacher from Parra, Bardez, Goa. 

 

According to Edwin Fernandes, the Church authorities starting from the Bishop are trying to squash this matter because the government machinery at the top level wants to protect the molester teacher who according to one source is very closely linked with the top ruling party machinery.  Hence, the Candolim School management suppressed this news from the public domain thereby allowing the wrong doer to go scot free resulting in supporting the molester to molest more young girl students.

 

According to the information gathered, this incident took place in the school premises about a year ago but since nobody had courage including the local politicians to raise his voice on this incident, the NGO manned by Edwin Fernandes after getting information though belatedly but rightly took up this issue and finally put it into the hands of “Goa State Women Commission”. For further verification of the facts, Edwin Fernandes pushed an RTI which was accepted by the concerned principal but when pressure mounted to suppress this news, the principal refused to oblige.

 

According to some insiders in the school, the molester is a serial molester whose  dirty habit was known to some in the School including the authority of Candolim Church that was running this institution but all of them closed their eyes thereby making the life of the girl students even of some female  teachers vulnerable to the molester.

 

Overwhelming majority of the parents prefer Church run schools for their children because of the good discipline imparted there and moreover for the safety of their children especially of girls.  But what has happened in Candolim at St. Thresa’s is very shocking leading the parents to lose their confidence in Church run schools.  As the head of the Candolim Church, the Church Pe. Vigar should be held accountable for hiding this ugly incident from the public eyes especially from the parishioners and other students also to caution them of this molester. Simultaneously he should have complained to the authorities concerned about this molester so that he was immediately reprimanded from the job. Pe. Vigar should have also informed the parishioners from the Altar about this incident as he normally informs of so many other unimportant incidents regarding the School’s happenings. In one word Pe. Vigar made a big mistake by hiding this incident under his Cassock and I am sure Bishop is also a party to this hidden issue of the girl.

There is a Pastoral Parish Council and Somudai in Candolim but it is surprising even they kept their silence on this sad incident.  Is it because the victim girl is a non-Christian? Would they keep quiet if the girl was a Catholic?  And what made the parents and guardians of the girl to remain dormant or were they pressurized by the interested party?

 It is sad that the Pe. Vigar of Candolim Church instead of promoting the truth in a pure Christian manner is suppressing the truth which is against the Christianity. He as per my information even told the  students who were aware of this incident not to disclose to anyone. Moreover, as informed, the Bishop by suppressing this news also suppressed the truth.  This is wrong on the part of Bishop who should in a true Christian manner have exposed the truth by exposing the molester. In view of this the female students and their parents are made to lose their confidence in the school management which is under the control of the Church. Molestation of students is like a HIV disease and it should be treated as such.   

While concluding, I must say that all those who are involved in suppressing this crime are also a party to this criminal act of the molester who should be ashamed of what he did.
