Catholics have only themselves to blame for the recent problem in Velim Church.
Because of some black sheep among the priests, the catholic laity by their
irresponsible public criticism have fed into the opposition propaganda that
campaigning takes place from church pulpits. Members of other communities are
given the impression that election campaigns are conducted by minorities in
Churches and Madrasas. Naturally a non-christian police officer would be led
to believe that any political information could be got from the parish priest.
Secondly, what has happened to all the catholic teaching of tolerance and
compassion? The use of force if required must be proportionate so as to ward
off the danger. It is a sad day for the Church in Goa.
