Hi Basilio
Thank you for your evasion of my concluding point to you that, I would like
to hear from among the many thousands, at least one Goan priest that, casteism
among 'Catholic' Goans is as wrong as racism anywhere including in Downtown New
York. When no Catholic Goan priest can say this, their authenticity as
guardians of morality becomes highly dubious in my view particularly as
casteist ideology and Catholic ideology are totally incompatible. This is an
academic matter but even more so, one of morality. Clearly, such a moral stance
is seriously not forthcoming from 'our' Goan Catholic priests, including the
Bishop and no evasive recourse to all the literature on caste, available to all
and sundry, can compensate for the moral void I have highlighted.
Please do try to address the crux of my post to you, as summed up in the
subject theme above, otherwise your waffle becomes rather obvious I'm afraid.

Dear Goanetters:
I just read Cornel's "sermanv."
Just a question:
Did I in my post defend the origination/perpetuation of caste? or did I
imply for the need of a different approach to deal with the caste problem
given the historical evidence that caste has nothing to do with Hinduism as
a religion?
