Dears, While Mario may be right in saying that those who practice philanthrophy are generally those who routinely maximise profits, he is absolutely wrong is criticising what Fr.Peter-Hans Kolvenbach has said. In his address to the alumni, when he said "where maximising profit often seems to be the SOLE goal". there was no indication that he was against "maximising profits". He was, and rightly so, against it being a 'sole aim' at the cost of ethics and integrity. Unlike in Mario's blinkered vision, the world is not divided into communist [or islamic] dictators and the American freedom of expression. May I humbly suggest that he reads the novels "Love Story" and "Oliver's Story"...for the first time , if need be! Viva Goa. Miguel Viva Goa.Say it with feni.
