Rolly, at the school today, stared at the old German portraits: There with their grace, go I. And you. Some of it hurts. Dear old Hetting was Dutch, as was Gense. They escaped the 1914 deportations. eric.
From: roland.francis Subject: [Goanet] Defrocked Priests The recent news that Benedict has defrocked 387 priests in the past two years is another shocking episode in the never-ending Catholic Church saga. The figure is much higher if you read the ABC news link shown below that outlines the procedure that has allowed many more to slip through the cracks and thus avoid the church's maximum punishment. Figures and incidents of such priests involved in sexual abuse and pedophilia are not publicly known for Goa, while in Kerala abuse of nuns by priests has been well reported and written about by some victims themselves. Are we Goans above such scandals or just too ashamed to expose them. http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=21576293 Roland. Sent from Samsung Mobile
