RESPONSE: Then by the same logic........ Kishore Kumar in Bihar and Ataullah in Ratnagiri have an inalienable human right to seek information about the finances relating to the office of the Bishop of Goa?
what is this "Albert de Souza has an inalienable human right" vis-a-vis the Bishop of Goa?
I'll agree that Albert has an inalienable right to write utter nonsense here at Goanet, until the Rules are changed.
whenever and wherever monies are involved one key principle is accountability whether by convention or legal requirement Any 'infringement' of this principle risks putting individuals and institutions into disrupte.The Catholic Church is not exempt from this kind of requirement in Goa
RESPONSE: Are you certain the Catholic Church in Goa has not met its legal accountability requirements? If it has not, what legal statutes has the Catholic Church violated?
Interestingly, Fr Loiola, working for the Bishop's Office, did volunteer on Goanet, some information on the matter.
RESPONSE: Fr Loiola is a fine man and may I suggest you visit him at Altinho on one of your future visits to Goa instead of "ringing" him from the UK.
Indeed, the Vatican has a poor reputation on the principle of financial accountability
RESPONSE: This thread is about the visit of the Archbishop of Goa to San Francisco that has left some in a tizzy. Drawing the Vatican into this thread is a misnomer.
