Since Mr. R. L. Francis is now on Goanet, perhaps, he would like to respond to the defamatory allegations made against him some time back in this public forum. Here is the relevant quote and link:
"R L Francis is an old disgruntled hand. He has no credibility and no following. He sole claim to fame is being propped up by the sangh parivar to embarrass the Church from time to time." .....Marshall Mendonza http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg45930.html It is important to know who (the accused or the accuser) is credible, as far as activism and political campaigning are concerned.
