Perhaps the Bishop of Rome remembers the Padroado and still wants to honor it.
Or as a Jesuit he wants to discourage the worshipping of a long dead body even if the person once happened to be from his own Society. Or perhaps he thinks that Goans are so solidly devout that his visits must be to less faithful and more faltering Catholics. Or perhaps he has heard the garbage problem and wants to avoid the BJP blaming him for it. Roland.
