500 odd years of Catholicism and not one canonisation. We are stranded with
two semi-saints and no light at the end of the tunnel.
Why?
I have my theories. Here goes:
(1) The church in Goem is divided. Caste having been such a huge part of
our lives, we have yet to exorcise this ghost. It is time the head of the
church in Goem does something dramatic nay drastic to right this wrong.
(2) Goemcars do not have sufficient financial clout to sway the power
brokers in Rome.
(3) There are no Goemcar nuns catering at the Vatican, unlike Kerala. Their
nuns I believe literally run the papal household. Keralites are getting
canonised in droves.
(4) The church in Goem needs a crash course in public relations.
(5) Goemcars are evil or maybe just not holy enough.
I may be wrong. But then what other reasons can there be?
Mother Theresa. John Paul 2. Great people. I love them. But sainthood in
under a decade?
The Roman Catholic Church cannot find one, one Goemcar; fit for the greatest
honour it can bestow?
