Why go so far to describe corruption in the Church when below my nose it also smells dirt and rowdism created by the people involved in the Church activities? Normally laypersons involved in the Church activities are those suffering from many ills such as physical, financial, spiritual, moral and also those suffering from traditional and ancestral inferiority complex. Church circle is a very good opportunity for such people to gain easy and cheap prominence. Usually, the cheap laypersons craving for cheap publicity, cheap acceptance in cheap society and also craving for material gains including sexual gains involve in Church activities, many of them otherwise rejected by the organised and elite society. Recently, one more class of people involved in the Church activities is the class of ‘goondas’ and rowdies. According to one source somebody from this category wants to hit on my head with his shoe, a group of Catholics wants to barge in my House to teach me a good lesson and one female wants to catch hold of my neck. All these threatening statements as informed are expressed in the presence of the Capuchin who looks like a born rowdy. It is a big insult to St. Anton the patron saint of Capuchin to have followers in such rowdies. By keeping rowdies close to Capuchin is like kicking St. Anton who preached love in true spirit of Christianity.
What sort of doctrine the Capuchin and the Bishop and other priests are teaching to the faithfuls especially to those laypersons involved in the Church activities? To assault me? To act as rowdies and terrorists? Is this the Christian Church we are associated with? One of the persons who wants to hit me is involved in promoting ‘Samudai’. What sort of Samudai he is promoting? His colleagues in Samudai should better know the real rowdy and anti-Christian character of this person. He is also entrusted with the task by the Church of distributing Holy Communion. Does such a rowdy ruffian deserve this when his actions are that of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde? Are these people really Christians or are they Jews who are meant to harass our Arab brothers? How the Church leadership accept such ROWDIES to perform Church rites? By the way, the Church authorities must know that they are not the Church alone, lay faithfuls are also a part of the Church and as such their opinion must be given priority otherwise Catholic Churches will remain empty of faithfuls many of whom migrating to other denominations as it is already happening now because of the arrogance, pride and rowdism of the priests like that of the Capuchin.
Since this matter is of serious nature where threats of physical assaults are expressed, I have decided now to inform my colleagues in GOA-KUWAIT SOLIDARITY CENTER about the threats issued to me in the presence of the Catholic priest who is supposed to be good and not a ruffian. To all my friends and colleagues spread all around the globe I advise that in case there is any attack on me, the priest in question should be first questioned and along with him all his ruffian friends who are trying to act like terrorist Saddam Hussein.
If these Catholic rowdies are so angry then why they didn’t join us in our movement under Goa – Kuwait Solidarity Centre to challenge Saddam Hussein during the invasion time of Kuwait? During the invasion of Kuwait these Church associated rowdies were hiding at their homes under the petticoats of their wives and concubines and also mothers. By boycotting our movement in support of Kuwait they have boycotted Kuwait from where these traitors shamelessly earn their sustenance. It is Kuwait’s Dinars that made them what they are today otherwise back home in their countries they are unknown entities. When they are ungrateful to Kuwait the country that feed them, how else they can be grateful to God? This is the quality of many of the people involved in the Church activities. In fact overwhelming majority of the people involved in Church activities have opposed me for supporting Kuwait. Moreover, none of the Capuchins nor any priests from Goa openly supported our movement against Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, on the contrary some of them mocked at me for promoting the cause of Kuwait. Priests and overwhelming majority of Church associated people refused to support us in our movement for the cause of Kuwait.
CONCLUDED.
