INSANITY By Praxy Fernandes, Sanquelim

Our modern catholics in Goa are in the habit of loosing grip over their minds and venting their personal frustration on the Church and its institution. There are even some priests who have held high position earlier but now have been debarred from professing and there are politicinas including some ex-union minister who are using every opportunity to put down the Church and its institution. These same very people have used the church to propel them into postions they held but have turned ungrateful and I dont know how Goa will ever forgive them. The ex-union minsiter has now started eyeing Church properties and with the help of one keralite ex-judge has been trying to poison the minds of the Catholics from Goa to come out against the church and take over these properties with a clear intention to enjoy rob them. When the communidades cannot control illegal structures and illegal sale of the lands in Goa, do you think these rogues will be able to look after the properties of the Church, they just want to sell them to their relatives and followers/disciples and subsequently sell them to outsider ghantis from delhi/other indian states and mint money. I hope Goa curses them and maims their minds. Yesterday I read one news item that a Goan Catholic lady by name Antonia Michelle Abel. wants the government of Goa to bring the office of the Bishop under the purview of the RTI Act. If that is so why should we not ask the government to bring her identity and personal life under the provision of the RTI Act. Only Antonia Michelle Abel can tell us what made her put up a suggestion to bring the Bishop’s office within the ambit of RTI Act. RTI Act as mentioned in the news item is to audit the functioning of Government offices, departments, corporations, etc where the pathetic ministers and politicians make merry at public’s cost. Does Antonio think the Bishop’s house is a government office or does Antonio think the Bishop’s office is a circus like almost all our government establishments? Have we not experienced enough problems in our lives after becoming a part of India through illegal invasion, as per judgement of Supreme Court? What have we gained by being a part of India, nothing but added miseries while the constitution has made a mockery of our life by providing for reservations on the basis of caste, creed, class and religion and by providing guidelines for laws which promote corruption, criminal activities, goondagiri and communalism? We should consider that we have some Portuguese laws governing our lives even today otherwise we would have to act as slaves to outsiders and to some of our own politician crooks who are acting as kings and destroying our lives and our future. Would these modern day crooks have the guts to stand against the able administration of our ex-rulers, think Antonio the repercussion of your selfish greed and your deeds, your suggestion to me is nothing but insanity? Bring the life and mental status of Antonia Michelle Abel under the domain of the RTI Act so we know what a human she is
