Ann, there is nothing wrong in Priest of Christians, Imam / Mullah of Muslim and Bhatji of Hindus joining politics! Let's motivate them to enter politics so that we will get government ruled by religious philosophy rather than dirty politician's philosophy. Once we achieve this, and to accommodate politicians, let's make all these dirty politicians the preachers of respective religions, what say? I think, one need not become MLA or MP or head of any political body to help poor and the depressed. The drive to help them should come from within and not through the position one holds in government. On the contrary..one bad mango in a basketful of good .spoils all the mangoes.this saying still holds well. Fear is... one honest priest in a gang of dirty politicians might also turn out to be like them!
Best regards, U. G. Barad I find there is nothing wrong if a priest joins politics and contest elections and even get elected. What is important is that he once when he is elected live like a christian in all his ways. he works for the poor and downtrodden. He lives like Christ lived on earth. What is wrong in this ? I fully support Fr.Bismark and request other priests instead of doing nothing to help the poor and the depressed join the government become MLAS, minsiters. At least we will have honest ministers and there will be lot of development in our villages and cities Ann Marie Fernandes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
