Good bye, Good bye to Rome, goes the song : we miss dean Martin. Our Archdiocese does not encourage the use of the term 'Goa, Rome of the East' It matters in the new political environment, and it is helpful to be considerate of the feelings of a significant numberof our neighbours and friends. In that context, I can point to the threat made by Thackeray over the the description of Bombay as a 'cosmopolitan'city. He did succeed and, in any case, regulations succeeded in decapitating the nice conglomerate that once madefor a vibrant and joyous town.
