RE: [Gulf Goans] Cardinal Ivan Dias - by Bishop Ignatius Lobo (from Gomantak Times - Alister Miranda)
Cardinal Ivan Dias presided over the ceremonies of Fatima Portugal, on the the 13th May 2004. I watched the ceremonies through the Portuguese TV and heard him talking in fluent Portuguese to an audience of several thousand gathered in Fatima. His homily confirmed he is very devout of our Lady of Fatima, just like Pope John Paul II was. He said it was the 5th time he had come to Fatima as a pilgrim and the Bishop of Leiria, in the end of the celebration, thanked the Cardinal saying he had not only come as a pilgrim, he had come as a true prophet. Despite his name and his obvious Portuguese India/Goan routes, everyone was very surprised (including the TV broadcasters) that he was so fluent in Portuguese. I think he is an excellent candidate. Lets wait and see. Paulo Colaco Dias.

[Gulf Goans] All India Catholic Union (AICU) Homage to the Late Pope
From: "Salu Soz" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AICU Homage to the Late Pope To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] AICU Homage to the Late Pope In a press statement issued on April 8, the All India Catholic Union (AICU) has paid special homage to Pope John Paul II. They have called the late Pope a Nurturing Father, a Charismatic Role Model to all People. They salute John Paul II, celebrate his Life's testimony. AICU a registered body founded in 1919 and it represents the Catholic Laity of India through 120 Diocesan, units nation-wide. John Dayal is the National President, Dolphy D'Souza the Vice President, Elias Vas the Secretary General and Eugene Gonsalves the Treasurer. Mr John Dayal who is a senior journalist and Civil Society activist is also a National Integration Council member of Indian government. The press statement released by him says. "As Kings, Presidents and Heads of Government pay the world's homage to the Late Pope John Pail II as he laid to rest in the Crypts of the Vatican today, the President, Office Bearers and Members salute the memory and cherish the legacy of a Nurturing Father of the Catholic Laity, and a charismatic role model of all people, specially of the young." "Born and brought up in the darkest periods of the Twentieth Century, Karol Wyotla experienced life under tyranny of the Nazis and Stalinist regimes, his uncrushable spirit and unconquerable faith marked his Papacy with a historic courage that decried War, and challenged dictatorships, bigotry and human exploitation. Of this was his legacy to the 21st Century, a legacy of Concern for the Poor. His Love for the unborn Child, his commitment to Human Dignity, his faith in the New Generation, his example of Forgiveness, his call for Evangelization, and his insistence for continuing dialogues between religions and cultures. His landmark ecumenical dialogues with Christian denominations, his warm contacts with Jews and the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh religious leaders have laid the foundation of fruitful co-existence centered on the Dignity of Man and his Freedom." "Catholics in India will remember him for his solidarity with all the Rites. He strongly supported the heritage of the Oriental Churches, and his elevation of the heads of the Syro Malabar and Syro Malankara Churches will be remembered with gratitude. India will also remember him for his unique friendship with Mother Teresa and his Beatification of hr Saint of Calcutta." The Catholic Union, which cherishes memories of his two visits to India in 1986 and 1999 in which many AICU leaders were involved, particularly honours Pope John Paul II foe his commitment to the Laity and in losing no occasion to remind the common Catholic men, women and youth of the empowerment that was theirs through the Second Vatican Council further comments that "Even In his long struggle against disease and in the final days of his Life, John Paul II taught us how to live and die with dignity, anticipating with joy and serenity the moment of meeting God the father. The All India Catholic Union commits itself to all that he taught us."

[Gulf Goans] MILLIONS, INCLUDING 200 HEADS OF STATE, ATTEND POPE'S FUNERAL
VATICAN INFORMATION SERVICESALA STAMPA DELLA SANTA SEDE- OFICINA DE PRENSA DE LA SANTA SEDEBUREAU DE PRESSE DU SAINT- SIÈGE - PRESSEAMT DES HEILIGEN STUHLSHOLY SEE PRESS OFFICE V.I.S. VIS internet Search Documents Receive VIS Press Office 04.08.2005 Fifteenth Year - N.68 SUMMARY: - MILLIONS, INCLUDING 200 HEADS OF STATE, ATTEND POPE'S FUNERAL- BLESS US, HOLY FATHER, FROM THE WINDOW OF THE FATHER'S HOUSE ___ MILLIONS, INCLUDING 200 HEADS OF STATE, ATTEND POPE'S FUNERAL VATICAN CITY, APR 8, 2005 (VIS) - Before the start of the funeral Mass today for John Paul II in St. Peter's Square in the presence of an estimated 300,000 people, including over 200 heads of State and government, the deceased Pope's body was placed in a cypress casket and closed in the presence of a number of witnesses. Among those present for this rite were Cardinals Martinez Somalo, camerlengo of Holy Roman Church, Angelo Sodano, former secretary of state, Joseph Ratzinger, dean of the College of Cardinals, Camillo Ruini, vicar for the diocese of Rome, Francesco Marchisano, archpriest of the Vatican Basilica, and Archbishops Stanislaw Dziwisz, the Holy Father's personal secretary and James Harvey, prefect of the Papal Household. The cardinal camerlengo introduced the rite of the closing of the casket. Archbishop Piero Marini, master of papal liturgical ceremonies, then read the "Rogito," a summary of the life of the Pope, copies of which were signed by those present. An antiphon and psalm were sung, followed by silent prayer. The master of ceremonies than placed a veil of white silk over the head of the deceased and the cardinal camerlengo sprinkled the body with holy water. The master of ceremonies then placed a bag with some medals coined during the pontificate of the deceased and a lead tube containing the original copy of the Rogito in the casket. As the casket was closed, Psalm 41 was recited. The casket of John Paul II was brought to St. Peter's Square in procession, placed on a carpet on the ground in front of the main alter and a book of Gospels was placed on top of the casket and opened. The procession included the College of Cardinals and the patriarchs of the Oriental Churches, all in red vestments, who kissed the altar before taking their places. Mass was presided over by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and concelebrated by 164 cardinals. Millions of people who had come to Rome for John Paul's funeral but who could not be accommodated in St. Peter's Square itself, watched the ceremony on 27 giant screens placed throughout the city, including at the two football stadiums, Tor Vergata University, the Circus Maximus, the basilicas of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major and St. Paul's Outside-the-Walls, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza Risorgimento near the Vatican, the Colosseum and Via della Conciliazione, the broad avenue leading to St. Peter's Square. Many of those in St. Peter's Square, at various times during the Mass, called out for John Paul II to be proclaimed a saint. These calls, accompanied by sustained applause, began as Cardinal Ratzinger finished his homily A number of banners could be seen with the words "Santo Subito" (a saint immediately) and "John Paul II the Great" and one, with his papal crest, saying "Pope John Paul II - saint." Following the prayer after communion Cardinal Ratzinger proceeded to the rite of the final recommendation and act of committal, standing by the casket of John Paul II. Cardinal Ruini then stood next to the casket, the cantors sang the Litany of Saints and the cardinal vicar then concluded the supplication of the Church of Rome with a prayer and returned to his seat. At this point the patriarchs and archbishops major and metropolitans of the Catholic Oriental metropolitan Churches "sui iuris", went to the casket and, facing the altar, recited the supplication of the Oriental Churches from the Office of the Dead of the Byzantine liturgy. Everyone present prayed in silence and Cardinal Ratzinger sprinkled holy water on the remains while the choir sang a response. The casket of John Paul II was then brought into the Vatican Basilica to the place of burial as the faithful sang the Magnificat. Those present earlier at the closing of the casket accompanied it into the basilica. John Paul II was brought to the grotto area of St. Peter's Basilica for burial in a rite presided over by the cardinal camerlengo. The cypress casket with the mortal remains of John Paul II was tied with red ribbons on which were placed the seals of the Apostolic Camera, the Prefecture of the Papal Household, the Office of Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff and the Vatican Chapter. The cypress casket was then placed in the zinc and wood caskets which were soldered shut and covered with the seals of the aforementioned offices. On the top are the cross and coat-of-arms of John Paul II. The notary of the
[Gulf Goans] 'Pomburpa needed only for polls, garbage site'
'Pomburpa needed only for polls, garbage site' A HERALD REPORT BY MELVYN MISQUITA ANIL SHANKHWALKAR 8 April 2005 Located along the banks of the Mandovi river, Pomburpa village is a far cry from any notions of development. With its annual income at about Rs 40,000, Pomburpa panchayat can barely purchase a motorcycle, let alone envisage a lofty project in the village. And its geographic location offers little assistance to augment its cash-strapped coffers. Pomburpa does not own any part of the lucrative land at Porvorim plateau, half of which is claimed by its neighbours, Penha-da-Franca, Salvador-do-Mundo and Socorro. Good projects never come to Pomburpa. In fact, Pomburpa is considered important only during elections, and when it comes to chosing a garbage dumping site, sums up a disappointed Gokuldas Halarnkar, who heads the seven-member Pomburpa panchayat.
