[Goanet] India textbook says meat-eaters lie and commit sex crimes
India textbook says meat-eaters lie and commit sex crimes 16 November 2012 Meat-eaters "easily cheat, lie, forget promises and commit sex crimes", according to a controversial school textbook available in India. New Healthway, a book on hygiene and health aimed at 11 and 12 year-olds, is printed by one of India's leading publishers. Academics have urged the government to exercise greater control. But the authorities say schools should monitor content as they are responsible for the choice of textbooks. "This is poisonous for children," Janaki Rajan of the Faculty of Education at Jamia Millia University in Delhi told the BBC. "The government has the power to take action, but they are washing their hands of it," she said. It is not known which Indian schools have bought the book for their students, but correspondents say what is worrying is that such a book is available to students.

Does the accountancy extend all the way up to the Prelate?

Please, dear Ana, share with us these titilating tid-bitsthey tend to so light up our drab lives... I would be particularly interested to know how many crores my friend, Reverendissimo Padre Joaquim Loyola, has accumulated; you see he & I have a patnership...a clear understanding, albeit without any duly signed MOU, and are, supposed, to share equally all the commissions that accrue from sales of church-lands, etc The small change that, occasionaly, trickles into my chronically overdraft account is so niggardly that I have begun suspecting the fellow of welshing on me& that simply wont do...will it...can it? Moreover, my grapewine, most alarmingly, informs me that my partner has been seen, lately, to hobnob, rather more intimately than I stand to care for, with that sleazy Shettye that our Aires so much warns us about! Of course you will be generously compensated for your great service @ the generous terms obtained from services rendered by the Bank of Africa, BOA, at Burkina Fasosay 60-40 %.

[Goanet] CHURCH & CLERGY WEALTH ETC & BUILDING OF HOME FOR RETIRED PRIESTS
Ana Maria Fernandes is one of those who contribute faithfully to the wellbeing of the church which is commendable. I agree with her that the Church in Goa has amassed such immense wealth by virtue of families bequeathing their entire properties to the church and the income derived from these properties also the various donations received from the Diaspora throughout the world which in many cases amounts to a considerable sum that it is a shame that they ask for additional funds to build retirement home for retired priests. I think that an audit of ALL the Churches should be conducted in order to establish what the current state of affairs is and also to weed out dishonest priests ( Believe you me there are many such crooks in the church who are known to have utilized church funds to marry off their relatives etc) and make them accountable and also establish the true wealth of the church. This should be an on going process so as to ensure that there is no hanky panky going on.The Archbishop should have a robust and incorrigible audit department to ensure the accountability of all funds coming into church coffers. Let us see what this will produce. Then if found wanting, the congregations can be asked to provide funds for Homes for retired priests. Manuel ( Eddie) Tavares.
