With deep regret I have to bring to the notice of the faithful concerned and also to the Bishop of Goa, the Vatican representative in India and All India Catholic Association that the Pe. Vigar below my nose is showing some signs of losing his sanity. By making use of the holy Altar he uses unholy statements thereby desecrating the sacredness not only of the Altar but also of the Christ’s Church. He cannot accept constructive criticism of his dictatorial and Satanic acts he commits against the teachings of Christ. He is suffering from arrogance and pride complex thinking that he is an extraordinary intelligent but in reality he is nothing minus his priesthood.
He accuses from the Altar the writers who write to him anonymous letters and also those who write openly in the Internet. It is madness on his part to raise the issue of anonymous letters because such letters are written by anonymous cowards only and such cowards deserve no mention. The writings appearing in internet are identified by the identity of the writers and as such the writers if they are wrong they deserves rebuttal in the same Internet forum and not from the Altar otherwise Pe. Vigar should take corrective steps as per the contents of the writings.
Pe. Vigar by raising this issue from the Altar is trying to gain cheap sympathy of some faithful for the apartheid he is practicing in the Church area. This type of apartheid and discrimination is against Christian doctrine of equality. Only anti-Christians and Jews can do such un-Christian acts and every Catholic must raise his voice against this type of apartheid. In his madness against the writings by the faithful he asked from God punishment for them. This is priestly barbarity which goes against Christ’s teachings. Asking devine punishment for writers is a crime and such crimes only the criminals can commit and not by the priests wearing Christ’s Robe. Retaliatory measures are not the Christian prescriptions for the priests to prescribe. This is not the Christian doctrine but the doctrine of Hamurabi the ancient king of ancient Mesopotamia who was the initiator of the Code “ Eye for an Eye and Tooth for Tooth”.
The right course of action for Pe. Vigar if the writers are wrong is to pray for them and in a Papal way forgive them but surely not ask devine punishment. This shows the revengeful and cruel nature which does not suit for the priest. Besides, Pe. Vigar must know that there is one saying in Konkani which says “KANVLLEACHEA XIRAPANI KONN MORONA”, everybody will die as he or she is destined to die.
By shedding the Crocodile tears from the Altar Pe. Vigar said that such writings criticizing their religious “Gurus” are not done in other religions such as Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. This is not correct and Pe. Vigar is ignorant on this. Bohra is one denomination of Islam and since its leader His Holiness Sayedna found acting in a Hitlerian way there was a heavy Press campaign against Sayedna’s dictatorial ways that put Sayedna and Bohra into a big shame not only in India but also all around the globe thru international Press. One Bohri, Eng. Asghar Ali was the main writer to carry this campaign which he did for the betterment of Bhora community.
In my village in Candolim, Hindu Mahar as per the Hindu religious customs had to be buried outside their Cemetry. One prominent young Hindu when attending the funeral of one well known Hindu Mahr noticing this discrimination in Hinduism, immediately rushed to Panjim and issued a strongly worded statement in the Portuguese daily “Diario de Noite” first to condemn this discrimination and secondly to advise the top Hindu leaders to give equal rights in burial for the low caste Hindus also. Besides these I have so many more examples where the religious Gurus were heavily criticized by their followers. This type of criticism is not confined to Catholics only as the ignorant Pe. Vigar claims.
No faithful should remain immune to the dictatorship of the Pe. Vigar, he is not a devine creature and not an infallible person, like any human being he too is bound to commit mistakes which must be pointed out to him thru different methods, one being thru media. Those Pe. Vigars who cannot accept criticism are not fit to be good Pe. Vigars. And those Pe. Vigars who try to suppress the freedom of expression of the faithful are dictators like Salazar and such Salazars we don’t want in our Churches. Bishop should transfer them before they do more damage to their vocation and to the Church and also to the faithful.
And the Bishop must investigate why the local faithful are going to the Churches located in their neighbouring villages instead of their own Church. If this trend is not arrested now then they may join some other Non-Catholic Churches. Because of the arrogant Pe. Vigars many of our Catholics left Catholicism and joined Believers denomination. Today in Goa non-Catholic Sects are mushrooming because of the pride and arrogance of many of our Pe. Vigars who forget that they are servants and not masters. And these are the same Pe. Vigars who are guilty in embracing corrupt politicians thereby encouraging corruption in our localities. Such Pe. Vigars are capable only to bark from the Altar for those who write anonymous letters and on Internet but they have no marbles to raise their voice from the Altar against those corrupt politicians who are looting and harassing the innocent locals.
Candolim,
Goa.
