Dear Adv. Aires Rodrigues,
Thank you for posting your Aug 12, 2004 letter to the Archbishop of Goa. If
nothing else, hopefully His Grace's attention will be drawn to it - perhaps
once again.
Hopefully, the Archbishop will see it fit to take the necessary action - if
warranted.
Meanwhile, I await your responses to the questions I had put to you in my
previous posting. After this note from me, I will take (atleast) a 72 hour
break from posting on this subject - lest cyberGoans get Ribandar
intoxication.
Now, Adv. Rodrigues, please allow me to draw your attention to the
CAPITALISED (by me) words from YOUR letter to the good Archbishop.
Were you witness to the alleged events - as they unfolded ?
If so . Why did you not step in and prevent this from happening to this
13 year old neighbour of yours?
If not why did you choose such categoric words in your letter i.e. WAS
CALLED, WAS CORNERED, ASKED, QUESTIONED, FONDLED, MOLESTED , ADMITTED ?
Would you agree Advocate Rodrigues that (unless you were present at the
events), You presented hearsay information to the Archbishop in terms which
suggest that you were a material witness.
BTW: Isn't fondling any 13 year old's private parts also molestation? and
Did you advise the mother to take her 13 year old to be examined by a
pediatrician asap?
yours very sincerely
jose
***excerpt from letter - FROM Aires Rodrigues to Archbishop Neri Ferrao

Your Excellency,
.
On 24th December last year around 11.15 p.m. the daughter of one of my
neighbour, 13 year old (name omitted) WAS CALLED to the Church under the
guise of church activity.
She WAS CORNERED by our Parish Priest who than ASKED her to submit herself
to confession. Young, but street wise, (name omitted) QUESTIONED the logic
of confession at that late hour of the night.
A frustrated parish priest later FONDLED her private parts and MOLESTED this
young girl.
She was luckily to escape from the hands of the priest and was able to rush
to the comfort of her mother (name omitted) who very promptly rushed to the
church and questioned the Parish priest as to his outrageous conduct.
The priest ADMITTED his fault but a mere apology will never erase the
lifetime damage inflicted on this budding young girl and her family.
Please feel free to speak to (name omitted and (name omitted), her mother.
However, I am sure that this will not arise, as the Parish Priest will not
have the audacity to deny the gruesome crime.
