On balance our self-promoting Goan leaders, the Archdiocese of Goa, our Goans nuns and priests have let Goans down. They have not inspired leadership, entrepreneurship, pride in being Goan or cultivated Goan history, etc. Imagine after 500 years of being foot-soldiers for the Vatican (mostly European) we do not have a SINGLE Catholic order in our name but do a lot of the work for the glory of foreign religious orders (Salesians, Redemptorists, Jesuits, etc.). No saint either after 500 years! I do not know why Goans allow themselves to be treated as doormats. Perhaps Fred Noronha reference to the "colonized mind" explains all or some of it.
