Filomena, as a Christian I am particularly concerned about what is happening in India and what can possibly happen in Goa one day in the future ...
The problems are escalating day by day and it is getting worse day by day. Anybody heard of what has recently happened in the BJP-ruled State of Madhya Pradesh with the full knowledge and sanction from the BJP Government at the Center and State? I received a shocking email dated Jan 2004, which I am still not sure if it is true or not.

I certainly think that some arrangements could be made for those who want to visit the Church. However, to link all this business of the Navy closing the place to visitors is not an Indian plot against Goa and Goans as TGF seems to be saying. I disagree with the inflammatory language on this website. One would think from the language that there is absolutely no religious freedom in India just because this particular church has become part of Navy territory. I'm sure a way can be found to resolve the issue of getting permission for a few visitors every year. You have the maturity to help get this resolved in an amicable way.
