Newton has been magnanimous in LETTING GO of this case in the true christian

has bestowed Fr. Newton with tremendous blessings. If Aires and others did not
need him, some others around the world need him and have got a smile back on
their face. Goa has lost a good priest in the process
but some other needy diocese has gained.
God's ways are strange. We wish Fr. Newton well. -Soter D.>>>
COMMENT : I am not sure if this comment by Soter was meant to be a
sarcasm. But I would like to say that if a person, specially a priest is noble
in mind and heart, he would not, in the first place, have made a police
complaint against his own parishioners. This, to me looks more like a counter
complaint like most lawbreakers do. And now since it has backfired with a
non-bailable warrant of arrest issued, he’s lost for want of a loophole to make
escape.
