Albert writes:- The writer has shown his ignorance and emotions while writing
this letter jumping to conclusion that I have joined the bandwagon of believers
because we think because we are Roman Catholics and have a well established
church that we have legal right to heaven and all other denominations along
with people of other religion are doomed. When Ignorance is bliss it is folly
to be wise. I wrote on Caritas. This institution is instituted to look after
the poor and needy. If you are helped by st vincente de Paul society in Dabul
does not necessarily mean the whole of Goa is helped and there is no poverty
among the Christians. I had written the letter on caritas and had said and am
saying it again is that caritas hasĀ not shown concern to the welfare of the
poor and the needy though we are contributing by means of collections towards
their fund. One Rosario Abel Fernandes who has written this letter and I am
replying to it does not make a nation. Like wise mother Theresa has been
helping millions of people all over the world but this is their own
contribution towards society and has no connection with the catholic church. In
today's world every one is poor. Some may not have money. Some are poor in mind
and spirit and needs moral supports. Some may have wealth but no health. etc
etc. What is the catholic Church doing towards upliftment of these type of poor
? What are you doing towards this ? I know the catholic Church is not forcing
us. Every property that the church has ,belong to the faithful. No contribution
towards the church property has been made by the authorities of the Church.
Even SVP begs money from people and earn credit, they do not work for it. I may
be harsh but looking down on other denomination and other people of other
religion by the Roman Catholic to which I too belong is a neurosis.
