It would be helpful to understand and help heal if someone knowledgeable
would post a biosketch of Fr. Eusebio...

PS
There is also a need for vigorous debate on the merits/demerits of celibacy
in priesthood. This is a valid and burning topic for discussion on Goanet
and all venues because most times the issue is 'ducked' and 'weaved'. The
subject has been 'swept under the rug' long enough....

Basilio's views on the role and achievements of Priests in Goa is one I
share. What is very obvious today is that our Goans in Goa are so caught
up
in the 'progress' taking place around them that they are less able to
provide
the support to the Priests in their areas. More and more, the Priests have
to
fend for themselves in every way as help is not available unless one is
prepared to engage non konkani speaking candidates whose credentials
cannot be
verified. One has only to visit to know this to be fact. This whole
scenario
is an unhappy one considering that there are fewer Priests servicing
demanding
congregations.
It is with great dismay that I read Afra and others comments thrown
unsolicited and maligningly upon a defenceless body......perhaps the most
damaging of the wounds inflicted on this generous soul.
