In my humble opinion given the scenario as described by Rajan, the Parish priest erred. But lets take the Parish priests viewpoint, since he is not likely to be a member of GoaNet and will most likely not defend his actions or give his perspective on the incident . Saligao church is indeed a beautiful and scenic building. I have seen pictures of the church on various tourist brochures and coffee table books. As such it must attract so many photographers that it may become a nuisance to the church goers and to the parish priest who manages the facility. The harried parish priest must have been less than diplomatic in asking Rajan to stop taking pictures, and from Rajan's narrative of the incident, he would not take no for an answer and in his own words gave as good as he got "xapotam" So in my opinion there were no good guys or bad guys in this incident, and both parties could be at least partially at fault.
