I urge that the perpetrators of this heinous crime be arrested immediately and brought to Goa to be crucified Upside Down on a major Maidan in Goa. Only then we will have PAX GOA and no one will mess with us Goans or our Catholic Church for that matter ! Best Regards, Dr. Carmo D'Cruz, currently touring our Goa Dourada !
