[Goanet] MOPA clarification
Post GFDO meeting in Margão, the MOPA issue is being discussed on public media by many who have not even bothered to take pains to read what an airport is, why an airport is needed or even the economics of an airport. Permit me to clarify certain preposterous statements made. An airport is not like a Bus stand that requires expansion or relocation as the number of busses increase. An airport's basic requirement is a runway of not more than 4.5 km x 100 mts if at sea level. This is for the largest civilian aircraft the Airbus 380 or Boeing 747. The takeoff run is the requirement rather than the landing, which is much less. The rest of space requirement is for taxiways and terminals. If there is cargo export or import, then more space for the cargo area is required. But does Goa has anything in large quantities for air export? Besides, the ideal location is always central, convenient to the whole population of the State. The presence of the Navy at Dabolim is neither a basic need nor of any vital importance, but on the contrary a hazard to the civilian population. As per International Law, no armed force base station can be set up within certain distance from civilian population. An enemy attack on the base will be detrimental to civilians. The people who write that Mopa is a necessity, need to read the UN agency, International Civil Aviation Organisation report on the feasibility of Mopa, rather than being a self exclaimed expert. And lastly, nowhere has anyone said anywhere that Fr. Eremito is the Church's spokesperson. -- *Dr. Ferdinando dos Reis Falcão.* *Margão, GOA.*

Email/clarification received just now from Bishop House (Upon request) updated blog http://joegoauk-pointofview.blogspot.in/2013/10/whats-going-on-in-sanvordem-parish.html Quote: The case of the resignation of Fr. James Silva (Sanvordem) A Clarification On behalf of the Archbishop of Goa, the following clarification is being issued regarding the matter of the resignation of Fr. James Silva as Parish Priest of Guardian Angel Church, Sanvordem. 1. The matter of a priest’s appointment to any ecclesiastical post or his transfer thereof is exclusively of the competence of the local Bishop. The Archbishop of Goa is therefore the only competent Authority to send a suitable priest to any parish in the Archdiocese or to transfer him from there, as per the needs of the Church. Consultation with the respective parishioners has never been part of the process. 2. The Bishop may also transfer a priest from time to time, considering the pastoral needs of each parish. Conversely, the priest too may ask to be relieved of his duties, for personal reasons to be approved by the Bishop. The specific case of Fr. James Silva a. Fr. James Silva approached the Archbishop in the month of July 2013 (without any prior appointment) and, across the table, revealed to him that he would like to be relieved of his responsibilities as Parish Priest of Sanvordem Church. The Archbishop tried to elicit the reasons for such a request. b. Subsequently, on August 1, 2013, Fr. James submitted a written petition to the Archbishop, requesting to be relieved of his duties with effect from August 10, 2013 and stating the reasons for his request. c. After giving serious consideration to what was written by Fr. James, the Archbishop granted his request and relieved him of his duties with effect from August 10, 2013, as per the wish of the petitioner. Fr. James collected the relieving Order and went to the United States of America, for which he had already obtained prior permission from the Archbishop. d. Incidentally, it has come to our knowledge that the parishioners were made to believe that Fr. James was forced by the Archbishop to tender his resignation, if he wanted permission to go on vacation abroad. The fact is that the Archbishop had already granted him permission to go abroad on 27th June, 2013, while the request to be relieved came from Fr. James only on the 1st of August. e. It is also being disseminated in Sanvordem that the Order of the Archbishop amounts to Fr. James being divested from his priestly state. This is a false propaganda, since the Order of the Archbishop only states that Fr. James ceases to be the Parish Priest of Sanvordem with effect from August 10, 2013. f. It is clear that the announcement of this Order was not taken kindly by some of the parishioners of Sanvordem, who decided to hold a meeting in the compound of the Church, following which a memorandum addressed to the Archbishop was handed over at the Archbishop’s House. In that memorandum they even threatened that “if (their) demands are not met within a period of 8 days, the parishioners will march to the Archbishop’s House and hold a dharna and go on a chain hunger strike until the demands are fully met.” The memorandum is dated 9th September 2013. g. Since the memorandum did not indicate any person who could be contacted, a response to this memorandum was communicated to the parishioners of Sanvordem through an announcement made during Saturday/Sunday Masses on 14th and 15th September, 2013. Besides conveying the response of the Archbishop to the memorandum, the purpose of this announcement was also to enlighten the parishioners concerning the mind and the norms of the Church with regard to the appointments/transfers of priests and appointments of the committees assisting the priests in the administration of the material assets of the Church. Both these points had been raised in the said memorandum. h. Fr. Lucio Dias, the Episcopal Vicar for the South Zone of Goa, was deputed as the Representative of the Archbishop to make the above mentioned announcement to the parishioners of Sanvordem. Incidentally, Fr. Dias has since been appointed also as a provisional In-Charge or Parochial Administrator of the Parish of Sanvordem. i. The announcement that the Episcopal Vicar read out ended with an appeal to the parishioners to accept the mind of the Church, to extend their willing collaboration to the new priest who would be assigned by the Archbishop to the parish of Sanvordem and to maintain peace and harmony in the parish. j. However, it is highly regretted that some of the parishioners gheraoed the official Representative of the Archbishop on the 15th of September, after Mass, insulting him and holding him hostage for almost three hours, thereby creating an unnecessary law and order situation. This was followed by frequent press

Thank you Joe for posting that clarification. Considering the source of the clarification, I will assume that there are no other relevant facts in this case - which can be revealed without violating any privacy issues. This experience will probably guide the Archbishop's office to (in future) 1: invite / direct the parish priest (in similar situations) to make the initial announcement himself. 2: to consider itself making the announcement to the parishioners before the departure of the priest. jc On Oct 2, 2013, at 6:05 PM, JoeGoaUk joego...@yahoo.co.uk wrote: Email/clarification received just now from Bishop House (Upon request) updated blog http://joegoauk-pointofview.blogspot.in/2013/10/whats-going-on-in-sanvordem-parish.html Quote: The case of the resignation of Fr.

[Goanet] A Clarification
The season of Goan wild fruits kannttam and churnam is coming to an end. Speaking of these fruits, there is a confusion as far as the written Konkani names of these fruits are concerned. Kannttam come from a thorny plant kannot. Since it comes from a plant full of kanntte or thorns, I write the name of the fruit as kannttam but I could be wrong. Therefore, I would appreciate it if someone knowledgeable clarifies the correct spelling of the fruit - is it kannam or kann'nnam or kannddam or kanntt'ttam or kannttam? Similarly, which is correct - chun'nam or churnam? [I write it as 'churnam'.] Thank you. Moi-mogan, Domnic Fernandes Anjuna, Goa Mob: 9420979201
[Goanet] A clarification
Dear all, A couple of recent emails on Goanet have credited me personally with doing something for Goa. I want to state clearly that Goa Sudharop is a result of the efforts of literally thousands of Goans from five continents over the last 10 years (this is our 10 year anniversary). I deserve and take no credit (zero percent), all credit belongs to all the donors, supporters, well-wishers, volunteers, the Board, management, and representatives over the years who are the real names and faces of Goa Sudharop. I am not writing this due to humility or modesty but the reality is that the total is the sum of the thousands' parts, a diasporic endeavor between resident and non-resident Goans in a spirit of collaboration and mutual respect, all for the motherland they love so dearly. On a personal note, I would to publicly thank Ibonio, our Goa Sudharop Director in Goa, who makes everything happen, all on a volunteer basis. Thank you. George Pinto

[Goanet] A clarification over a very surprising development.
Dear Goans, Subject: CLARIFICATION TO WHOSOEVER IT MAY CONCERN. At the outset, please take note of the posts originating from Marshall Mendonca and the response to the same by self. I, Floriano Lobo, do hereby affirm that I am a member of the newly formed MNE (Mapusa Nagrikancho Ekvott) headed by Adv. Antonio Lobo as its convenor. Adv. Lobo just telephoned to inform me that he got a very funny call from London while he was in Mumbai:- Quote I was attending the Bar Council Meeting in Mumbai Saturday (yesterday) last, and I received a call with a funny three digit number on my cell phone. I came out of the meeting to attend to the phone call, especially as I was confused with the number. The caller wanted to know if it was me, and I answered in the affirmative. The caller introduced himself to me as Dr. Virginkar, from London. When I told him I am attending a meeting he said he would be very brief. The question he posed is whether I was the convenor of MNE. When I answered in the affirmative, he asked me if Floriano Lobo is authorized to speak for the MNE. I told him 'NO'. I told him that I issue the press statements and I am the spokes person. That Floriano forwards my press statements to the net lists for the information of net-Goans. In that case, Dr. Virginkar asked me, why is it that Floriano Lobo is speaking in the name of MNE and soiling the good name of Manohar Parrikar stating that he called the Catholic Church in Goa Communal? I told Dr. Virginkar that Floriano speaks for himself and keeps Goans informed about the happenings thro' his reports. What he reports are facts that are discussed in the presence of a full delegation. That he is doing so in his own name and in the capacity as the member of the Ekvott. If Floriano is speaking for MNE as its spokesperson, then I shall order him to stop. Unquote Now for the clarification Adv. Lobo asked me to make. I speak for myself and I have the right to report what is factual. No one, not Dr. Anand Virginkar, can stop me from doing so. It is a fact that the floosies who were working under-cover with camouflaged intensions through full page advertisements, promoting the BJP are now slowly coming out from the cold and exposing themselves. What I have reported is pure facts and anyone can confirm these from Manohar Parrikar himself. Besides, I enjoy very cordial relations with Manohar Parrikar and I talk to him as a Goan to another Goan. If he has any problem with that, he is welcome to talk to me about it. I don't think he needs agents in the UK or in the US to do that for him. I am confident that he is quite intelligent enough to take care of himself. I have always worked in a transparent manner and shall do so fore-ever. For further information of Dr. Virginkar, let me say this. Manohar Parrikar said more during the meet with the MNE delegation which I had blissfully forgotten to report. He had openly complained that the POPE has not apologized to Goa for the atrocities committed by the Portuguese on the Hindus of Goa whereas His Holiness has done so to Europe. I am not reporting this to malign Menorah. But if Dr. Virginia thinks that I do, then so be it. Dr. Virginia cannot tape my mouth. On the contrary Dr. Virginia must know that if one is feeling uncomfortable within as a result of a churning stomach, it is better to vomit and empty it of the accumulated bile and acidity rather than keep it inside and fall sick and be hospitalized. I think Menorah Paprika is doing the former and I respect him for that. It is another matter altogether if the floosies are getting all worked out instead of minding their own business. Let it be known that Menorah Paprika and Florien Lobo are both bonfire Goons and are leaders of individual political thinking. They are not only working for the good of Goa and Goons but must be seen as doing so. The people of Goa will be the judge to identify who is and who is not. And therefore, I rest my case.
