George, I recall you made this statement even last year. It will be
great to have Cardinal Dias as Joao Paolo III (Portuguese/konkani
version).
Imagine the next Vatican mass in Rome could be in Konkani, yes Konkani.
Vatican will soon need Goan cooks (Botler) who can make delicious Sopa,
Vindalho, and Sorpatel. Any takers? Better start working on the resume.
Who knows, we might even be served with Sadnas and Feni at the
Communion. Vatican will never be the same, especially the kitchen, but
it will be for the better. It will be good for Goa and Goa soon will be
a household name in the world. We will soon have Goa born saints, post
1961. My friends and cousins from Velcao and Bandra are all planning to
be there at the Vatican.
Viva Goenkars,
Carlos
