Don't Know where Eddie gets that from? Here's a comment from Rose D'Sa:
*" My experience at Loreto Convent Valley Road was quite different. I may have noticed some racism, but simply overlooked it; there was another focus within me, that of 'going juu'. I therefore remember most of the nuns with affection, especially those no longer living. It seems I have been greatly blessed by God in many different ways, including and especially, in childhood."* *Mervyn Maciel* On Sat, 15 Oct 2022 at 02:59, 'Eddie D'Sa' via The Goa Book Club < [email protected]> wrote: > So the Catholic God decided to be racist at Loreto.
