‘Padrinchem naum uboun naye’ During our ‘dotorn’ time (Catecheses) we learnt.. ‘Devachem naum ghorjebhair tonddar gheun naye’ (do not swear upon God, unnecessarily) This could mean ‘one may take God’s name only when there is absolute necessity’ But my mother.. My mother always said ‘Padrinchem naum uboun naye’ (even if they are wrong) (Do not tarnish image of the priests, come what may) Look, she has very cunningly omitted the word ‘Ghorjebhair’ (unnecessarily) By not saying ‘Padrinchem naum ghorjebhair uboun naye’ When asked ‘what if when there is an absolute truth in it?’ She replied ‘God will take care of it..’ Well, that was then and was about you and me (Laity) v/s the priests. Now, how about the Priests v/s priests? I mean, Priest tarnishing image of another priest. Kaim Padri, Padrinchench naum uboitat tedna..? Tanchea Main-Pain temkam dhek xinkounk nam gai? Ou tankam hache voir Seminarint xinkounn mevonk nam gai? Kaim vosam fattim, hanvem mhojea dolleani kud poilam ani kanani aikolam.. Eke firgojent Pad Vigar ani Pad Kur eka sunnia-mazra baxen zogoddttale Eka-mekak gaddiemcho xinvor ghaltale – Tum Chell**cho, Tum Fo*r*cho etc Jedna tea tea vellar misache vedir te xermao sangtale, tendna temi uloilolim pozllim utram amchea kanar sadtalim ani azunui sadtat. Now, why I am telling you all this? Few days ago, I heard a similar episode around Velsao. I am also told a nun is also involved along with a priest and few others. I really don’t know the truth, people seems divided over this issue. Defamatory leaflets also distributed in the people homes it seems. Even if someone is wrong, where is the forgiveness? Even if they are wrong, who are we to punish them? Can’t we just leave them to God’s justice or to the law of the land? Padri Devachea fattlean Dev, not any longer?
