Re: [Goanet] ALBERT WRITES........ Does he need a Doctor ?
What's the problem with practising a blend of rituals and beliefs not associated with Catholicism? Sociologists call it syncretism and highly value this trend! There are some amazing examples in Goa. Cuncolim, Siolim, Mapusa, Fatorpa et al. Even Hinduism is an amalgam of various beliefs, some Vedic others pre-Hindu in nature. Santeri and more. And, some 1.3 million links on the pagan links of Christianity itself: http://www.google.co.in/search?q=pagan+roots+of+Christianityie=utf-8oe=utf-8aq=trls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficialclient=firefox-a We would like to believe in a 'clean', ethnically and ideologically divided world. But that's not the way it happens. Along the Pernem-Sindhudurg border, where does Konkani end and Marathi begin? Is there some thing like a pure Goan? (Who is a Goan, as Priolkar asked, and went on to answer that in a less-than-satisfatory manner, for reasons Augusto Pinto has in part outlined.) http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg52156.html FN 2009/11/3 rosarioabel fernandes rosarioa...@gmail.com: Albert writes...writes...writes ... ... writes.

[Goanet] ALBERT WRITES........ Does he need a Doctor ?
Albert writes...writes...writes ... ... writes. On reading his previous articles on goanet I assume that Mr Albert is frustrated by looking around him to find Catholics practicing a blend of rituals and beliefs not associated with Catholicism. For this He holds the Catholic Church responsible. To show a lost person a way is a good deed. Instead of blaming others one should do whatever best possible in his own capacity. If people are not willing to listen or understand what is taught is a different matter and no one other than the lost person is responsible for it. Do not rely on others but try to do your best to guide others individually. Every drop makes an ocean. As far as Mother Mary is concerned, one should know the difference between worship and intercession. Jesus performed his first miracle upon the request of Mother Mary who is our intercessor. So also in the Bible James Chapter 5 verse 13 - 20, we find intercession by the elders of the church for the sick. As for miracles, does God have to work miracles ? God is not dependent on man and is not obliged to work miracles for man. Keep writing more views and guidelines without any frustration in mind towards anybody, Mr Albert. God bless

A hindu is in a better position to explain about bhagvad gita as much as a muslim will tell us about Koran. How can I write about Buddha or Ram? One who has voiced this should write himself instead of foolishly accusing me of saying whether Jesus is better than these. I have never said that Jesus is better than Buddha. I am not compering gods or prophets. I am saying that for me talking about Jesus is better than talking about politics, talking about other living people. When Shenoy or any other person writes about Ram, buddha I will read about them if I am interested or else move further.

Yes goans have crab mentality. There was a hue and cry when Keralities invaded goa. I see Christ when I see a keralite. A keralite is like a honey bee when he notices a drop of honey will call other bees to share that. There was a time when every one wanted to go to the gulf. I had my relations, neigbours and friends in every corner of the gulf. I approached a few of them but I could not find a place in their hearts .You will be surprised that even my sister in law landed in kuwait and inspite of several reminders they never bothered to take me there and I said I am going to be the last crab in that basket. Had I to be a keralite, some John or Mathai would take me there, feed me and give me shelter. They share brotherly love. They dress simple, they work very hard and are ready to work for less salary but what ever they earn they will send it to their state . Goans have migrated to Eureopean countries for better status. Please do not feel offended and many of them visit Goa for a holiday. They always carry themselves superior to the locals.

Albert writes In the good old days people believed in the religion of love. They lived in houses which had one common roof. There was simplicity in their life. Many people got together to work in the field, at funerals and weddings. During the wedding time it was the celebration of the entire ward or in case of death it was mourning wardwise. This was the religion of love.Today our religion has become a big show.We go to church to create an impression that I am religious as I attend mass everyday. You may also hear people say, I begin the day with mass.What about your heart? Full of hatred,envy pride, greed. The religious people who either go to church or temple reach their offices (if government servants) either at 11am or leave at 11 am. Accepting bribes has become a ritual.

In Goa we have Hindus, Christians and muslims. The other religion are found in minority. Among the Christians we have the catholics who consider themselves as Gods chosen people and the born again Christians .These barriers are not made by God or by Jesus. Today the hindus will look at Jesus as the God of the Christians,. We have the Bagvadgita, the Koran and the Bible which are the holy books but all these books say the same thing over and over againLove God with your whole heart and love your neighbour as yourself. We are standing in different directions of a huge mountain trying to reach the top. One is climbing on the western side while others may be from other sides and yet that mountain has only one top God. The clergy has used their own weapons to keep people divided. If we have brother hood we would not have condemned our own brothers and sisters. Today the caste system, the different religions and the different states and the words like goyemkars and bingtankars all these things shows we are not religious people. Jesus loved Gods creations and it was this love that made him work miracles. Our method of saying prayers, veneration of saints are all not reaching us to God. Unless our clergy get together and try to feel the presence of God and give up all the earthly ways of collecting rotten wealth, the clergy along with their followers may not know where heaven is. _ Tried the new MSN Messenger?

One of the good sources is also EWTN - Eternal Word Telev Ntwrk. Sometimes it is v confusing listening to even some priests/religious as they want to tell witout being properly infmd or sometimes which is even worse- only that what is convenient- so be properly informed do not let your Faith b a watery one but well read well informed in the Magisterium traditions as well as Scripture.

Only in India there were Hindus but else where there was the greece influence and the roman influence. I am not much aquainted with the greek methology but I think there was zoorastasim or something like that please excuse me. The romans believed in sun god. When Christ came into the world he wanted to cancel all these and just told people about His Father and He will reach each and every one to the father. There is no need for intercession at all. This intercession is man made calamity to mint money. The more saints the more feasts the more money. No one except Christ has seen heaven and he was only one able to tell how His Father looked liked , What He is etc. Whether a person has gone to Heaven or not he is not allowed to c ome to earth to tell and so I believe is the prayer of the church and one is not supposed to believe it completely. The faith built by the church that saints intercede for you is not correct otherwise Jesus Himself would have told you that. Why have you to v enerate statues? we are supposed to venerate and adore a bare cross on which Christ died for that Cross brought us salvation, This is exactly what the believers belief and we laugh at them.

Nasci writes about Hindu belief. Hindus do not have any guiding force behind them. Whatever has been passed from generation to generation has been imbibed by them. But there are many things similar with the Catholics too. When a person is dead they light a lamp after the funeral at the place where he breathed his life. Food is prepared for the beggars and before the food is eaten leaf plates full of food are kept on the food path for the birds to eat that as a sign that the dead has gone to heaven. The list is endless. The statues in the church and homes is also descended to us from Hindu culture of the past as our ancestors were all hindus.

We have put barriers among ourselves and have divided ourselves unnecessaryily. First the christians should practice love. They should first love themselves. we drown ourselves with liquor at the bar ruining our health. No love between husband and wives. Today the children lack love and instead of embracing their sweet little children they run away from them. We want to practice our religion with family planning which is against God's plan.
