We need criticism in this world and the object of criticism is for better
governance. We have opposition party in the Government, critic committee in
film industry and theatre company. People should understand that criticism is
for the healthy development of a company or association. The Roman Catholic
Church was not functioning from the time of its formation. There was lot of
corruption then and lot of unwanted things did happen. This angered Martin
Luther who revolted against the church. Had then did the top leaders of the
church viz the Pope and the cardinals and their advisory body had to take a
concrete decision taking the criticism as the main point of discussion and
remedy was to be sought then, the church would not have been divided. Today the
same corruption has surfaced in the church. The system of running the church
and keeping the reigns in the hands of the clergy has called doomsday near. The
population of the clergy is diminishing and in Goa what ever handful of clergy
is available many prefer to jump to the oversee greener pasture where they make
dollars fill their pockets. Its time that lay people should stop throwing
donations to the churches for various projects and it is high time that the
parishioners stop being “Nana Boil “ dumb bulls and shaking their heads at
every call given by the clergy for donations. Its time for the parishioners to
say, ok enough is enough now please let us maintain our churches and let the
clergy only look after the spiritual part and at the same time justice should
be done to the pay packet of the clergy as they are also human beings like us
and some little but not too much luxury can be given to them.
