Hi Fred and everyone,
Fr Rufus is not of Goan origin; he is and has been a great priest, and a world renowned leader in the Catholic Charismatic movement.
He hails from Bombay; he belongs to the Bombay Christians who are Christians since the time that the group of seven islands that now comprises Bombay was governed by "The East India Company'. These Christians of Bombay origin are always referred to as "East Indian Christians' because of this history.
I write this, since I knew Fr Rufus personally when he along with Fr James D'souza of Aldona origin used to conduct 'Retreats' at the Vasco retreat house, as well as in Bombay and other places like in the Phillipines. He has also visited Australia as a stalwart of the Born Again Catholic Charismatic movement. The Holy Spirit does work thru him. Fr Rufus is a worthy disciple, a chosen one.
Long Live Fr Rufus!
Nasci.
