Jangankan calo romo, saya dan Pak Raden Danardono juga orang-orang negara berkembang lainnya bakalan gayeng kalau disuruh tinggal di Barat. Kafir dan Non-Kafir, yah, maklum saja dimana ada gula disitu ada semut.

Pulang kembali? wah, kalau bisa nanti dulu dehhh, kata mereka. banyak yang minta penugasan ke negara2 Barat lain, a.l. AS. Tak ceritani ya mas, waktu saya di volksschool (sekarang SD), ada seorang romo asal Belanda. Namanya romo Daniel SJ (dari ordo Societas Jesu), anak tunggal seorang pemilik pabrik textil yang kuaaya raya di Belanda. Dia bawa semua warisannya kemari, dan dihibahkan pada gereja, dan untuk berkarya...sekarang beliau sudah lama meninggal. Salam RM D Hadinoto rahardjo mustadjab wrote: Masih tentang pedalaman Papua. Penerbangan misi dengan pesawat kecil yang diterbangkan sendiri oleh pastoor dan pendeta, nyaris tidak ada lagi. Gara-gara pembatasan missionaris asing. Penggantinya orang Indonesia ternyata tidak ada yang berminat, karena merasa lebih aman nyaman tenteram tinggal di Jawa, tidak mau hidup seadanya dan kesepian.
