Dear BC, AD, FN and the rest,
Sad but true, Santa Katarina has been stripped of her sainthood and of the
position as the Patroness of Goa. Times are changing and so are the saints.
Fr. Jose Vaz is "blessed" to be the patron of Goa without being a saint.
SFX, whose feast we will celebrate in a few days, has his body that turned
500 years old earlier this year [the feast day is the day of mortal death,
not the saits birthday!] still in Goa and revered the world over. He is
reviled only by the fringe elements in the VHP in Goa.
To each his own icons. But I am surprised that Bernardo chose "Admiral"
Timmaji and Mhalu Poi Vernekar for his Team. Can he be so anti-Kapistan as
to love the enemy of the enemy when even Datta Naik is canvassing for a
Kabrastan in Pajifond-Margao in the Third Millenium of Anno Domini? Is this
some other TIA Talk or Tiatok [hybrid of 'Tiatr' and 'Natok' proposed to the
DKA by the Third Millenium baker]
