I have been diligently following and trying to keep track of the VANXIM imbroglio for a long time. Obviously, the Vatican is not unaware, given the fact that the JESUITS are present in the Goa Province. Or perhaps it is OBEDIENCE that is the cause of the local JESUITS remaining reticent or deploying their famed casuistry? Perhaps it is time for some HOLY DISOBEDIENCE now, led by the Jesuits, their Provincial & their General(referred to colloquially as the BLACK POPE because of the black soutane), to be ruled upon by none other than the redoubtable, great POPE FRANCIS!!!!!!!!!
(This courage to break my silence has come after reading /contemplating on the Biblical text passage/image of Christ using a Whip to clear the Holy Temple using the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises) THE SALE OF VANXIM ISLAND IS A FRAUD ON THE CHURCH,ON THE PEOPLE OF GOA,GOVERNMENT REVENUES AS WELL AS AN ASSAULT ON THE FAITH OF CATHOLICS. Perhaps his Excellency the Archbishop of Goa will deem it fit to make a statement or address a Pastoral letter to the Flock entrusted to his care. -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 1/3/14, Sebastian <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: [Goanet] Vanxim is a biggest religious scandal of Goa To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, 1 March, 2014, 11:58 AM http://bharatmukti.blogspot.in/2014/02/vanxim-is-biggest-religious-scandal-of Goa. The active support and connivance of the Goa Archbishop Felipe Neri Ferrao reeks of rancid morals. The Archbishop's decision to sell Vanxim to Mahendra Gaunekar without taking people of Vanxim into confident. Both these Bamon raj parties Corporate from Karnataka and Archbishop Neri from Goa relied on their abilities to silence and buy mulnivasi people off. The agreement amounts to invasion of Vanxim and calls for freedom struggle like the one against East India company. Sale of Vanxim is biggest scandal facing Goa today next only to mining scandal as far as economics is concerned. On mining number of people are speaking out boldly. Here on Vanxim because of the involvement of Archbishop there is reluctance to speak out against all the wrongs involved. This qualifies Vanxim issue to be biggest religious scandal of the Goa today where in Archbishop Ferrao neither has love for his Priests nor for his flock, and racing his way to sell Goa Diocese. Vanxim is a living testimony to this fact. People however will not remain silent for long nor every one in Goa will be brought off and co-opted. Waters of resistance are fast rising and very soon they will have the unexpected and shocking results. Nor pressure and threats to life can stop the rise of mulnivasi power to tear Bamon Raj asunder.
