[Goanet]Church built on Temple?

[Sachin Phadte]

Tim de Mello says: "If you ask most Catholics in Goa if their church was 
built on the site of a Hindu temple, they will reply by saying they do not 
know for sure but - yes, probably. This is accepted by both Catholics and 
Hindus and there is no indication that any party (religious or political) 
wants to reverse that part of history today."

The origin of my thread was that a report was posted here that the BJP is 
asking for the return of the sites where temples are destroyed and churches 
have been built.  I guess if Tim now ays that "there is no indication that 
any party (religious or political) wants to reverse that part of history 
today", this should settle the matter.

I trust that people should not make wild accusations which can create 
unnecessary problems.  There is much one can criticise the BJP (or the 
Congress, etc.) on - but it should be done on substantive issues.
