Dear Goanetters. Word`s don't count much in a world where plots, lies and corruption is a part of the public life. The action of people will tell the truth.
Let me recall some of the facts in the Ribandar case. A priest is accused by a self-style-lawyer of molesting a girl. Pamphlets are distributed in the village, exposing names and insulting a whole community. What does the girls' family do? First: The mother invites the accused Priest to comes home and bless her house. Than she writes to the CM of Goa that the priest is innocent. She even sends her daughter to the Children's Court to tell the same, not even being summoned. Second: The so-called self-style-lawyer cannot be stopped by the will of the family; he continues to spoil his own reputation, the reputation of his own Church, and the reputation of the innocent girl. Third: On the 7th of January 2005, the day the Children`s Court dismissed a private criminal complaint against the priest. What does the girl's family do? The father of the girl is celebrating the dismissal with fireworks. A last and final request to the moderators of Goanet. When a man has lost his own self-respect, what more is there to loose? You don't have to join him by throwing more stones. Sincerely Yours Ivar Fjeld Ribandar __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
