Your esteemed newspaper on Sunday edition was pleased to publish the announcement made by the Archbishop’s Office under caption of ‘Archdiocese announces transfers of Priests’. It is noticed that transfers had been arbitrary and coterie protégé.
Archbishop Patriarch invoked the provisions of the Canon 538(3) which reads as follows: When a pastor has completed seventy five years of age he has to submit his resignation. The Pastor, Fr Victor Concesao Rodrigue, Parish Priest of Nuvem was born on 25-02-1942, completed 79 years of age, yet he continues to be the Parish Priest of Nuvem Church.
The Asst Priest of Verna hardly completed two years and has been directed to vacate the seat by 01-06-2021 and take charge of the new posting at Ambaulim, Goa to gratify the Parish Priest of Verna!
Are the posting of Fr Loyola Pereira and Fr Jose Remedios Fernandes, Secretary and Vicar General respectively conterminous with the office of Filipe N Ferrao as Archbishop Patriarch or is a manifestation of Arch-Bishop Patriarch Filipe Neri Ferrao being impotent without their presence to govern archdiocese of Goa?
