“We have also kept a hard copy with us and sent the information to the I-T department on the links provided to us via the internet,” he added
He said that the Archdiocese received the letter from the I-T Department on November 21 and that was the same day to provide the information. It being impossible to furnish the data the same day, there being around 200 odd churches they sought time and I-T Department granted them a week.
