1. Who are you to judge what the Priest 'should have been doing or shouldn't have been doing"? I never realized helping someone in need meant playing with fire. Even if he was a public figure, why tarnish his name?Was he a known homosexual? Have there been reported incidents of abuse by him in particular in the past? Was he making a move on those men? 2.A more candid approach would be to analyze the facts(of which much hasn't been released),and I think this is the job of the cops and not you or anyone else in Goa. 3. It is pathetic to read what conclusions people draw from this incident. Tomorrow if a Nun was raped and killed, some folks here, just might as well say that she was 'provocatively dressed'? 4. Is this how people think on this forum? -Katie ....................... Response: Every member of the "Public" believes that he or she is a member of the jury. Some persons on Goanet even appoint themselves as judges who do not need to consider any evidence at all. What they think, they believe to be the ultimate truth ;-( Even the cops have no time to collect the evidence and analyse the facts of the case. It is easier to issue a press note, still easier to hold a press conference and a cake walk to selectively "leak" information to the gullible crime reporters or their bigger brothers in the press. What you think people may say, has already been said before......and believed in some cases in UP and Madhya Pradesh. People do not think on Goanet...they 'post'. Who said one must think before they write on the Net. Libel? What is that? People do not even consider that the priest is not a member of this forum or this world. He is dead. He cannot defend himself. He may have been wrong...but we do not have any proof/evidence on which to base such a conclusion. Afra, Joe, Godfrey do not need evidence. They KNOW. That's it for them. If tomorrow someone alleges things about them...or their spouse,sister, brother, mother....... I hope they can withstand the debate on Goanet. Viva Goa.
