The statement re place of birth is incorrect, as in
1952, Goa-Damao was not in the Republic of India, but
was the then-called Estado da India Portuguesa.

Gabriel,
Maybe what you say is right, but all I did was to quote from the Vatican News Service, word for word. Secondly, I dont think it is relevant at all. Goa has been and always will be a part of the Indian subcontinent.
best!
