[Goanet]Why is King Momo always a Catholic?

[Cecil Pinto]

Just asked around and found out that King and Queen Momo are always 
selected from the Catholic community for the Carnival celebrations in Goa. 
I wonder why this is? After all the organisers and participants of the 
Carnival Parades are from both communities (unlike the Shigmo Parades). And 
since it is a state sponsored festival I think good looks and personality 
should be the only criteria and not religion.

Just a thought.
