Fr Conrad Saldanha was asked to spend a year at a Goregaon seminary after he was found guilty of misconduct. Over two years later, he continues to languish in deplorable conditions.
A Mumbai priest has written to the Vatican alleging “harassment and torture” at a Goregaon seminary after he “voiced concerns against wrongdoings within the system.”
Fr Conrad Saldanha, who was asked to spend a year at Archdiocesan Seminary in Goregaon East after he was found guilty in a complaint of misconduct by two female parishioners, alleged he has not been given a posting in any church and forced to live in deplorable conditions even 2 years after the ruling.
Fr Saldanha, who was a priest for 12 years and was last posted at the Sacred Heart Church in Santa Cruz, immediately challenged the order with the Vatican, saying it was “vitiated” and that he was “not given an opportunity to defend himself.”
