You have piqued my interest, Frederick. In all those centuries of
Portuguese rule, we had not a single cardinal of Goan origin, and now,
between 1953 and today, we have had four?
Caramba!
Warm regards,
Victor

Subject: [Goanet-News] QUIZ: Four cardinals...
Cardinal Ivan Dias -- who traces his roots to Velsao, Goa -- stepped
down in May 2011 as the Vatican's "Red Pope", the Prefect of the
Congregation for the Evangelisation of Peoples (CEP), considered one of
the most important dicasteries in the Vatican. His resignation was
accepted on "having reached the age limit" of 75 years.
Question: who were the other three cardinals of Goan origin who were
elevated to key positions in the Vatican, and which villages did they
trace their roots to? Reply via Goanet.
