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.

PAL SOARES' TIATRO AT CANDOLIM MANDD.

 
On 2nd of this month, as usual, the Candolim MAND  at Pintos Vaddo,  to mark the feast of Condoi Saibin, organized  a Tiatro “Hantrun Polloun Payem Sodd” written and directed by Pal Soares.  Declared by the writers and critiques  as the best Tiatro of the season, it was staged about 50 times in Goa  and everywhere it is acclaimed as praiseworthy. 
 
 
Beautiful Jessica with Godwin in one scene
This time in Candolim it was very well attended by the audience who enjoyed the story as well as Side Show songs.  Financially it was a great success both to the director as well as to the organisers whose Kitty has been enhanced. 
This Mandd is a charitable organization doing lot of charities towards good causes.  Last time when the late Antonette de Calangute needed money for her Kidney transplantation which was ultimately not done, this Mandd named as Holy Cross, donated 50,000 rupees.  Since the said operation was not done,  there is no news of where the collected fund is gone.  It is the duty of all the donors to demand the accountability of their donations and also it is an obligation of  those responsible to collect this fund to declare the where about of this fund.
 
Director Pal Soares addressing the audience
The Tiatro was excellently enacted by all the smart artistes but major credit goes to the beauteous spot Jessica who played her role very beautifully.  Her beautiful looks, appropriate dress code, elegant presentation and perfect acting gave an added booster to this Tiatro.  Similarly, the role played by Godwin with fluent expression in a Prem Kumarian style created extra impact of this Tiatro.  Due credit must also go to the excellent role played by Ivon as a Lawyer. 
 
Baba Cielo singing his solo
 
In the comedy part, young boy Gladwin, the son of Menino Mario showed lot of enthusiasm and given more opportunities he will be a great asset to Konkani Stage.  He shows all the qualities required to be a good comedian. Seeing him for the first I was very much impressed by his comedy.

In the Side Show songs, Baba Cielo stole the show by his excellent solo on how the government looting the citizens by way of taxes and how expensive life Modi spends.  Marcus Vaz’z solo on Priests was liked by the audience, so also his other solos.  Manino Mario, Ivon, Estibeiro and Valencio rendered their solos well.
