The Council for Social Justice and Peace (CSJP), the social work wing of the Archdiocese of Goa, in its election flier issued today, also termed as "myth" the models of good governance being presented to society for "lacking equality".
The CSJP also said the secular spirit has been infiltrated by the corporate communal forces which are visible even in Goa.
"Unfortunately, a very large number of citizens are lured by materialism, consumerism and greed for power and wealth resulting in a decline in upholding moral and ethical values which are the intrinsic root of human life," CSJP Executive Secretary Fr Savio Fernandes said in the release circulated to the media.
Ruing that winnability factor is taking precedence in selection of contestants despite the moral high ground as claimed by parties, the Church said there was an urgent need for transforming the political system.

"The tendency towards corruption is manifest in the failure of successive governments to establish people-serving institutions or commissions like the Lokayukta, Information and minority commissions," Fr Fernandes said.
The Church also said indigenous people in various parts of the country are being marginalised and deprived in favour of communal-corporate interests.
The Church proposed the need for installation of a "government that serves specially the common people".
