"" It is not by leaving the Church and then throwing stones at her that we
shall reform the
Church it is by remaining in the Church, suffering with and within the
Church, maybe even being a ‘rebel’ but always within the Church that we
shall reform the Church.""
Well said that, Fr. Almir de Souza, especially the part "maybe even being
a rebel, but always within the Church"
I don't know ( from the name) if Fr. Almir, PP of Ucassaim Church is the
same PP of Ucassaim that I met in connection with the collection of
signatures on the memorandum from Bardezkars, that was ultimately
handed-over to the Chairperson of Mapusa Municipal Council, regarding the
upkeep of the city and market of Mapusa by the MAPUSA NAGRIKANCHO EKVOTT.
And this is what he had confided in me
"You did well to contest the Assembly elections (2007) from Aldona. But you
must realise that you can never get elected"
My response to him was:
"Fr., I know the preferences of the people all too well. But we have to
chip-in as rebels. Otherwise it will be as if no one is interested in good
governance"
I did meet him again at the 'Door Darshan Kendra', Panjim, when the
discussion on the Church Properties was recorded. He did remind me of what
he had told me earlier, but asked me never to give up my quest for 'good
governance'.
Rebels within we must indeed be when necessary if we do not want to lose
forever what is dear to us.

Because of his intelligence and expertise in historical matters I had
certain regard for Teotonio R. De Souza. I lost it today after reading his
Article “Church in Goa: Servants, slaves and rebels”. ( Herald, 29 August,
2009)
