Bishop - Rev Filipe Neri Ferrão - is he a man of God Orrrrrr????
Jesus Christ!! God help Roman Catholics. Is this Bishop a religious head or a Politician or Lucifer in human form? Archbishop expresses solidarity with Colva parish priest Fr Diogo and says that the cause of “our pain and concern is the recently released Konkani audio CD titled, ‘Dogui Bodmas,’ and the ensuing disturbances.”
Commiserating with the Colva parish priest, Fr Diogo Fernandes, who “had to suffer a great deal because of the above mentioned CD: we extend to him our heartfelt solidarity,” the letter commends his self-restraint and his appeal to his parishioners to exercise the same, even in the face of the defamation he was being subjected to.
I Just cant believe it. The scandalous Priest Fr. Diogo is being openly shielded by our Bishop - Rev Filipe Neri Ferrão. Mr. Menino Vaz of Colva has very recently posted the facts of Fr Diogo’s unholy activities which cannot be supported at any cost. At least the Bishop should have conducted an inquiry into the matter to see if the accusations against Fr Diogo were correct. Of course I along with 75% of the Colva Parishioners know that these accusations are correct. The Mafia of the Arch Diocesan of Goa and Daman is glaring at our face. There is not one but several things that are wrong and these Priests want us to sit and watch what they are doing?
Calvert Gonsalves needs to be supported. I see this as a golden opportunity to remove these rotten apples (bad Priests). If we don’t take this opportunity, we many never get it again. The Bishop in his letter further says “Protecting our reputation, defending our faith and our shepherds, ensuring the free exercise of our religion are some of our civic rights.
Defending them against unwarranted attacks is perfectly legitimate.” “Let us remember that Jesus said to the guard who slapped him: “If there is something wrong in what I said, point it out; but if there is not, why do you strike me?” – What reputation is he talking about? We in Colva clearly know that Fr Diogo has no reputation at all. A man who is making money in the name of the Church, having a mistress, is in the process of selling our Church property etc … oh my God!!!
Even a thief has a right to defend himself and is a thief only when proven guilty but in this case why is the Bishop not conducting an inquiry when so many accusations are made? The Bishop says that Jesus said to the guard who slapped him “If there is something wrong in what I said, point it out, but if there is not, why do you strike me?” in this case Calvert has pointed out some of the many wrong doings of Fr Diogo. Bishop Rev Filipe Neri Ferrão is closing his eyes, mouth and ears by covering up Fr Diogo’s notorious deeds as a Parish Priest of Colva without conducting an inquiry. I can now say with great liberty that he must be also getting a share of Fr Diogo’s loot. Otherwise why is he shielding him?
The Roman Catholic community needs to do something very soon. Or else RIP Roman Catholic faith.
