Hi Viviana
I would take your comments seriously if you offered comments all along on
some of the issues I
have discussed on this forum. I am not worried who is insulted or offended
these days, as people
hide some of their own prejudices and feelings behind such public
exclamations.
In fact, should I feel insulted that:
1. The Catholic Taliban is firmly entrenched in the Vatican and women are
summarily dismissed as
not equal to men and therefore cannot be priests.
2. Should I further be insulted that most Catholics on this forum did not
speak out against the
priest sex abuse scandal in the USA. I cannot recall if you spoke out or
not.
3. Should I then be further be insulted that most Catholics on this forum
did not back the idea of
the having the Archdiocese of Goa make a public comment on the priest sex
abuse scandal in the
Goa.
4. Perhaps I should be most insulted that Catholics on this forum do not
speak out against the
Catholic jihadists (Opus Dei).
5. Or should I save my feelings of insult that most of the top honors of
Popes and saints go to
Europeans, and Goans silently accept this?
We are very selective and choosy, are we not?
Regards,
George
