From: Albert Desouza <[email protected]> Subject: [Goanet] CATHOLIC CHURCH NOT FORCING YOU TO To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 23 September, 2009, 10:56 PM 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 has 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. _________________________________________________________________ Stay updated!
