BTW, I forgot to mention that I have in my possession a list of 77 NGOs that are prohibited from receiving foreign funds either unconditionally or without prior permission. The vast majority of them (i.e. 78% or 60 out of 77) have nothing to do with the Christian religion or the Church. The list is obviously too long to be posted in a Goanet post.
