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.
