Greetings from Fr. J. Loiola Pereira, Director of the Press Office (D.C.S.C.M.), Archbishops’ House, Goa.

Gentlemen, I cannot understand how you can title the story the way you did, when the body of the report says just the opposite, i.e. that the Church in Goa is for VOLUNTARY testing! I can only put this as malafide reporting. And this only brings dishonour to Asia’s premier health portal. KINDLY CORRECT THE TITLE.
