Gabe asked: "Is it the norm in Goa - that priests take young girls to their bedroom for confession, as alleged at the onset? Goa stinks from the top up, to bottom down, how conveniently he got a plum overseas posting - paid in hard currency - albeit the Rupee is getting there as well."
Comment: We will have to ask the girls. Really shocking to imagine the level of Gabe's fantasy. Such sweeping allegations are unfortunate. Why do we not talk of priests who have brought back smiles on so many faces. Are the lay catholics in Goa any better when it comes to their conduct with women? If Goa does have priests who have a problem with women it is reflective of the value systems in Goan society. Do lay people not succumb to sexual temptations? Let us first take a good look at ourselves before we embark upon removing the log in anothers eye. This is the teaching of Jesus for his followers. Or else it will be like the as corrupt BJP pointing fingers at the Congress. -Soter D.
