Joe makes an excellent point. The Colva controversy needs to be investigated
thoroughly and from what I have gathered the Head of the Church in Goem has to
be UNEQUIVOCAL in his condemnation of ANY violence, irrespective of the cause.
The Church in Goem has to urgently set up a body populated by eminent Catholics
and not just priests, to monitor, oversee and investigate any allegations of
any immorality or illegality within the church and amongst its shepherds.
Cover-ups will only be detrimental. The huge scandals in the West which have
blown up in our faces and severely damaged the Church should act as a desperate
wake up call.
My exhortation to Catholic Goemcars is not to lose heart. Christians are but
human. We make mistakes. We fail. We can be bad. We very often do not live up
to the teachings of our Messiah.
But we have our faith. We have our beliefs. We know that GOD is merciful.
Let us ask for forgiveness and in turn forgive.
This is the crux of our faith. The is the reason of our being.
Sincerely
Xanno Moidecar
