IS BISHOP OF GOA GUILTY OVER VANXIM SALE?

 

Four months are finished now and still there is no arrest of the murderers of Fr. Bismak and it looks BJP government is shielding the murderers.  Fr. Bismark was fighting for shielding the Vanxim Island from the clutches of big buillders who got entry into Vanxim thru the open arms of the Bishop of Goa.  Ironically, immediately after the murder of Fr. Bismark, Goa government doled out the facilities for the builders to step into Vanxim and convert it into a brothel for national and international customers.  Who is going to be responsible for turning Vaxim island into a sinful place?  Will it not be the head of Goa Church who is supposed to be a holy man spreading the gospel of upright life and not a sinful life?  I think time will come for the faithful in Goa to reject the Bishop of Goa who is helping the sinners to spread sin in Goa.

On 11^th of this month at T. B. Cunha Hall, Panjim, Bharat Mukti Morcha organized a meeting to take stock of the Vanxim situation and to mark  the 10^th anniversary of the sale of Vanxim by the Goa Bishop to Mahendra Gauneckar.  Also discussed in this meeting was the problem faced by the employees of “Nestle” company.

During the Press Conference conducted there, the president of BMM Maggie Silveira  besides other things asked the Bishop Neri  Ferrao to show all the letters sent to Vatican  to obtain permission to sell Vanxim to Gaunekar.  As per Canon Law 1291 Church cannot sell Church property to anyone with obtaining approval from the Vatican. According to the information, Bishop sold the Vanxim without Vatican’s  permission and hence Bishop committed a robbery and a crime against Vatican. Can we trust such a man to be our pastoral leader? Will it not be right for the faithful to reject his authority?

Meantime, it is surprising to note that there is a total silence on the campaign to demand justice for Fr. Bismark.  Are they kept silent by the government or by the Church or by the builders lobby?  Those who were shouting and demonstrating on the streets must come out with some answers of their silence.

PRIESTS NEED MENTAL CHECK-UP.

According to the information available, very shortly there will be the transfer of postings of priests. It is my request to the Goa Church authorities before the transfer is effected, the every transferee should be sent for medical treatment to check  the uprightness of his mental faculty.

From what I observed, very many  Pe. Vigars require this check more than the Pe. Curs.  It is the Pe. Vigars if not all then at least many are disturbing the peace in their parishes due their faulty mental capacity.  I saw how some Pe. Vigars are acting with the faithful in the Church and outside Church premises with pride, arrogance and Hitlerian “dadagiri” as if they are omnipotent.  This indicates their mental weakness.

I am sure many must have observed similar to what I have observed.  I am writing this piece from  my own personal experience and further  I  say that because of such mentally rude Pe. Vigars, many of the Catholics are leaving Catholicsm and embracing other denominations and yet these Pe. Vigars are not even apologetic for this exodus from Catholicism.  These Pe. Vigars like dramatists preach humility from the Altar but themselves are not practicing what they preach. I don’t blame them for this mental attitude of theirs but request the Church authorities to do the necessary test of their mental faculty before they do damage not only for the faithful in their parishes but also to the Church as a whole.

Can you say any priest who is cursing the people from the Altar as mentally sound?  Can you accept a priest as mentally sound when he speaks Hitlerian language in Satanic tone?  Will a mentally sound Pe. Vigar interrupt the Mass innumerable times to make announcements?  Only the mentally unsound Pe. Vigar will act thus needing mental treatment. Hence, my request to the concerned authorities of the Church to do the needful.
