This is in reply to what JoeGoa-UK wrote in Kranti yesterday

I have no objection Fr. Conceicao or any religious guru or padri using his domain for advising people what to do and what not to do for the election. But surely I will show my objection not only to Fr. Conceicao but for that matter to any priest giving wrong advices to the faithfuls by making use of his position as a priest. It was reported in the press that Fr. Conceicao urged the catholics to vote Congress Party because it is a secular party. My foot, Fr. Conceicao. Congress party is the most communal party practicing all the communal tactics in a desguise manner. Is PrataphSingh Rane a secular? Can he be a secular when he was born and brought up in the MGP lap? He is the most corrupt CM who has done more harm for the otherwise secular ethos of Goa.
Congress culture is so dirty that they are exploiting the poor masses to the maximum. The biggest sex maniacs are in the Congress party. They are promoting vulgarity and immorality which is against the doctrine of Christianity. Can Fr. Conceicao support such a party? Can Church as a whole support such a party? In Goa under Congress Government jobs.

Goa Election and Fr. Concecao

Fr. Conceisao should be disciplined by the Church for not obeying its directives.Election Officers should also book him for violating election code of conduct by 'Mixing the Mass', church, Altar, preaching, etc, with politicsI know for sure, there is a sizable number of voters switched sides because of Fr. Conceisao political preaching.
