Contact: goaengineer...@aol.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Almir de Sousa's response may be read as response to the following column of mine: http://bit.ly/19Jtgp Is Almir de Sousa the veteran priest in Ucassaim? There was no need to hide the clerical prefix. It is also strange that he should identify me with just one role, as if a historian or a professor cannot have other social functions to perform! He failed to respond to most questions raised. Questions raised just by one or few persons do not become less valid or relevant than questions raised by a crowd. Floriano's lone voice is less relevant than of the large parties? But Floriano saw Fr. Almir's logic differently! And there is the oft repeated clerical defence of presenting the church as a body of sinners and liable to make mistakes! Are the priests any privileged sinners and beyond correction as any normal citizen? Almir seems to read Herald only when it suits him. The classification of servants and rebels was used by Dr. F.E. Noronha in the concluding para of his Opinion column in Herald. Almir attributes the originality to me and the whole harangue follows! Also several other conclusions he draws are emotional and non sequitur. Teotonio R. de Souza
