[Goanet] ABBE FARIA'S SERMON IN THE SISTINE CHAPEL

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I have no objection to Alfred’s call for a vote, or to a call for new images 
for the proposed stamp, or for even my pencil-portrait of Abbe Faria to be 
voted out if there is a general or overwhelming aversion to it.  And yes, 
Venantius, the pencil portrait of Abbe Faria on the site is my creation as the 
credit denotes, and your insightful reference to it is appreciated.

Buttons for Submissions/Comments have been provided since the inception and are 
open 24/7, so as to avert any bemoaning about being left out.  Unlike the 
Farias, I desire no quarrel, having long ago given up pursuing the vow of 
celibacy for that of matrimony. 

Presently, the petition-pendulum appears to have suffered a stroke at 192.  
Whatever it takes for anyone to resuscitate it, please feel most invited to 
take over -- be the hypnotist, healer, caretaker, undertaker…………….. so long as 
you give me the pleasure of licking his stamp come May 31, 2006!  :)  

Dom Martin

My good friends! Let us vote Venantius to design, and develop in the technique 
he proposes, the forthcoming postal stamp of Abbé Faria. It will be honouring 
two worthwhile Goans at a throw, while, at the same time, 
comemorating/celebrating Goa's bygone and contemporary greatness! Alfred de
