Hi Selma I keep hearing about these wonderful human beings in Goa but I am baffled when such "wonderful human beings" are unable to simply say that caste/casteism within the Catholic Church membership is as wrong as racism anywhere. Why for heaven's sake is it so difficult to state the obvious in the example I offer here? In the case of Goan priests in Goa however, I have now been able to unravel the secret within the Church that prevents them from publicly uttering what would effectively be 'blasphemy' and betrayal of the Church in its long-drawn out immersion and role with caste. I had my suspicions all along when exploring the complicity in support of caste by the Catholic Church in Goa but am particularly appreciative of Jose Colaco and A.C. Menezes who helped me stumble on why the Church chooses to keep mum on this issue. Unfortunately, the reason is most dishonourable and hypocritical but you will have to wait to know more till I write about this, with firm evidence, in the world-wide Catholic media. Cornel
