The last time I checked, the Venerable Fr. Agnelo had
not even been Beatified, and we were discussing
whether he was being discriminated against when
compared with all the others that have been sainted
since, and the fast-tracking of Mother Theresa and the
dubious attempt to fast-track Pope JP-II by his buddy
and protege, the current Pope.

I don't know whether it is discrimination or some
other picayune technicality that is holding this up
for so long, but we Goans need to lobby Cardinal Ivan
Dias and Cardinal Lourdaswamy, both now in Rome, to at
least get Fr. Agnelo's name on the list.

I am against adding to the list of Saints willy nilly
and devaluing what it means to be a saint, but Fr.
Agnelo seems to be far more qualified than some who
have been canonized.
