Mga paring bingi at bulag

Breaking News:

Two priests defied the order of Cardinal Vidal and said officiated “Mass for Truth” in Cebu. The two priests who followed their conscience were Fr. Christopher Exsala, OCARM or Carmelite, and Fr. Jessie Dumaluay,Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

Sr Estrelle said, “We defied everything and God is with us.”

Archbishop of Nueva Caceres also does a Vidal- GMANews

Itong Semana Santa, ang malaking hamon sa mga Katoliko sa Pilipinas ay kung paano mapanatili ang paggalang sa mga namumuno sa simbahan kung sila mismo ay lumalabag sa kanilang tinuturo na pahalagaan ang katotohanan at ang mga utos ng Panginoon.

Katulad na lamang nitong si Cardinal Ricardo Vidal, arsobispo ng Cebu, na piangbawalan raw ang mga pari sa ilalim niya na magmisa sa “Misa para sa Katotohanan” na dadaluhan ni Rodolfo Noel “Jun” Lozada sa University of San Carlos.

Sabi ni Sr. Estrella Castalone, executive secretary ng Association of Major Religious Superiors in the Philippines (AMRSP), na siyang nagpu-protekta kay Lozada na ang pagbabawal ay ipina-alam sa kanila ng kanilang organizaer sa Cebu na si Judy Adriano.

Nainis kasi si Vidal na ginagawa raw si Lozada na bayani. Alam na raw ng mga Cebuano ang tungkol sa isyu ng NBN/ZTE kaya hindi na raw kailangan pumunta sa Cebu si Lozada.

Despalinghado pala mag-isip itong Cardinal na ito. Hindi ginagawang bayani si Lozada. Hinhangaan lang siya ng taumbayan dahil pinili niyang magsabi ng totoo kahit siya ay tinatakot ng mga kaibigan ng Cardinal sa Malacañang.

Naiinis si Vidal kay Lozada ngunit hindi siya naiinis sa pagsisinungaling at panggigipit nina Gloria Arroyo na kanyang pinu-protektahan ngayon? Anong klaseng alagad ng Diyos siya?

Kaya ba ayaw na makinig si Vidal tungkol sa NBN/ZTE dahil masakit pakinggan ang katotohanan? Kung sa sarili niya, minabubuti niyang maging bingi at bulag sa katotohanan, bakit isinasama niya ang taumbayan?Ito ba ang turo ng Panginoon?

Sabi ni Sr. Estrella kung walang pareng magmisa, magkaroon na lang sila ng forum. Tama yan, maari namang ipagpatuloy ng taumbayan ang paghanap ng katotohanan na hindi kasama ang mga pari. Hidi naman nila pag-aari ang katotohanan.

Walang pinag-iba si Vidal kay Raul Gonzalez, ang justice secretary ni Gloria Arroyo na walang ginawa kungdi ang balukturin ang hustisya. Sabi ni Gonzalez hindi raw welcome si Lozada sa Iloilo.

Anong nangyari? Mainit na tinanggap ng mga taga-Iloilo si Lozada at ang kanyang mensahe na maghanap ng katotohanan.

Sa itinuring ni Vidal, hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit malabo ang pastoral letter ng inilabas ng CBCP (Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines) kahit may mga paring matino katulad ni Archbishops Angel Lagdameo, Oscar Cruz, Nicanor Yñiguez, at iba pa.

Sa kanilang pastoral letter na binasa noong Linggo sa lahat na simbahan, sinabi nilang masama ang magnakaw ngunit ayaw naman nilang tanggalin sa Malacañang ang numero unong magnanakaw. Ano yan?

    Bilang Katoliko, pipiliin ko na lang ang mga paring paniniwalaan. Yung mga paring isinsagawa ang kanilang itinuturo. Yung iba, alam na natin kung ano talaga sila! Leave me Satan!

    Si Vidal ay nagalit dahil ginawang bayani raw si Lozada. Ulol na obispo! Hindi si Lozada ang tumawag sa sarili niya na bayani kundi ang ibang tao. Tama, ang tawag na ‘yan ay dahil sa paghanga lang at walang ibang ibig sabihin. It’s just like me saying…Trillanes is my hero! There, bumira na kayo mga pro-koraps!

    Sa kabilang banda, kung ang paghahanap ng katotohanan at hustisya sa panahong ito ng dark Arroyo regime ay hindi kabayanihan, ano pa ang tawag diyan?! Hindi nga ba at lahat ng ating mga bayani sa nakaraang panahon ay pareho din ni Lozada nagsimula, katotohanan ang ipinaglalaban? Kaya si Jose Rizal ay ipinabaril sa Luneta ng mga pari dahil sa paghahayag at paghahanap ng katotohanan. Hindi ko hinahalintulad si Lozada kay Rizal, malayo pa. Pero ang base path…pagbubunyag at paghahanap ng katotohanan at hustisya!

    Kayong mga Katolikong obispo Ricardo Vidal, Gaudencio Rosales, Bernardino Cortez; Diosdado Talamayan; Juan de Pueblos;Ramon Villena; at iba pang katulad nila, ano at sino ang inyong pinagtatakpan kundi ang EVIL na si Gloria Arroyo at ang inyong regular na milyong sustento! Nakakadiri kayo!

    Anong klaseng pari itong si Vidal na seloso at utusan ng korap na mag-asawang Pidal? Kawawa ang mga followers ng pari na ito. Out muna ako sa simbahang Katoliko ng Pinas! Over n’ Out!

    mas matindi kung makalango ang espiritu ng salapi kaysa alak na iniinom ng mga parit’ obispo kapag nagmimisa. gayundin, tinatalo ng kinang ng salapi ang taginting ng ave maria sa bawat nobena kaya ang mga banal na alagad ng simbahan ay unaunahang pumipila sa pintuan ng malakanyang at nagpapatirapa sa harapan ni gloria!

  5. Statement of the Black and White Movement:

    Cardinal Vidal: A congressman in a cassock

    There is a difference between critical collaboration, which allows prelates to receive state funds while preaching political moderation from the pulpit, and being a puppet of the president.

    His Eminence Cardinal Vidal has used his pastoral authority to prevent all 300 priests based in Cebu from celebrating Mass for Jun Lozada without benefit of explanation. Instead, his spokesperson, Msgr. Achilles Dacay, has asked that the allegation be supported by “proof”. The Black & White Movement believes that this is not a legal issue; it is a moral and spiritual matter to deny the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist to a Catholic. And the proof is there – as of this writing, not a single priest has accepted the invitation to say a Mass for Truth in Cebu.

    Moreover, the cardinal has used his influence to discourage Cebuanos from meeting Lozada, listening to him and judging him for themselves. Instead of prudence, Vidal prefers partisanship.

    The Black & White Movement is outraged and dismayed by this unchristian act of the prelate of Cebu.

    Cardinal Vidal is a congressman in a cassock.

    I don’t blame if some of our fellow countrymen will lose their respect to those people whose wearing fabrics that signifying sheperds or a medium of good news,of our “DIVINE CREATOR”.Are these people(sheperds)are turning themself to new version of “Modern JUDAS”??.If I recalled about the statesment of Ms.L.Fajardo’s on the 9th Commandment”thou shall not bear false witness”,it look like it is only pertaining to those CBCP’s attended the conferences/meeting with the MALAKANYANG UNIV. board of regents,she probably witnesses something would cowed these “SHEPERDS”,changing their stands on “SEARCHING for TRUTH”,eversince it is undeniable these sheperds are always leading his “flocks” to the hands of hungry WOLVES,instead to the gracing land of our lord.

  7. Imagine, naging sandaling phone pal lang siya ni Gloria, nahawa na kaagad! Naging demonyo — ano ba yan?

  8. From Kim to Cardinal Vidal:

    your stand on Arroyo’s lying and stealing is its preservation. why are you preventing the campaign for truth by saying Lozada should stop campaigning because he is already politicking? why put the burden of proving his accusation on him when he was the one abducted by government agents and arroyo’s paid hacks, covering up for the blunder? what prood do you need more on arroyo’s evil ways? have you turned like the
    Pharisees? i think you have. your stand even violates biblical teachings.

    maybe you should disclose the benefits your archdiocese get from the government and malacanang. it will show why you support suppression of truth and the campaign to force Arroyo to reveal her illegal amassing of wealth through corruption and her illegal seizure of power though cheating. this is the second time that you conservative bishops have protected the evil one: hello garci and now on MBN ZTE.

    i would not be surprised if your flock will continue to flee away from you and your errant leadership. you side with evil.

    As if the Cardinal’s refusal to say Mass for Jun Lozada in Cebu is not enough, here comes another Bishop in Bicol, home province of Lozada, who also refuses to say Mass for him. The same treatment would have been accorded to Lozada if he were to go to Mindanao where the gang of Bishops are pro-Malacanang. If Cardinal Rosales in Manila has his way, I think he would have also ordered the priests in Manila not to say Mass for Lozada. What’s going on with these Bishops and Priests during this Lenten Season when every Catholic has the right to repent, ask for forgiveness and guidance? I think it’s no longer envelopes that are being distributed by Malacanang…maybe boxes delivered to CBCP.

    MANILA, Philippines – Saying a Mass should be free of political undertones, the archbishop of Nueva Caceres town in Camarines Sur has barred priests from celebrating the March 24 Mass to be attended by key ZTE witness Rodolfo Noel Lozada Jr.

    Ang sa akin: the search for truth is our right..walang karapatan ang mga pari at obispo na ito to ban anyone for searching the truth..Didn’t Jesus, Himself say I am the way, the truth and the life? Lozada playing politics? Ano ang ginawa nila? Hindi ba politica din? Kaya lang first class ang pag popolitica nila Card. Rosales (kamag anak siya ni Poblador) at ni Card. Vidal (kasi to GMA Cebu is her kingdom come). Ang turo nga ni St. Francis of Assisi, though not a priest himself, sa mga kaparian niya..”Preach, if necessary use words”. For St. Francis be a witness, be an example..and that is St. Francis’ message to all of us..For St. Francis..Gospel to Life, Life to Gospel..thus ang mga Franciscans has a vow of poverty, humility and prayers..I don’t think Franciscans sila Card. Rosales and Card. Vidal kaya ganyan..Iba ang diocesan priests..wala silang vow of poverty..I wonder if they have a vow of humility and prayer?

Gayon pa man aasahan din ninyo ang ano mang kaparusahan na igagawad sa inyong pagsaway ng mga nakatataas. Ano pa man ang kahihinatnan ng inyong pagsaway sa utos ni Cardinal Vidal, Diyos na lang po Padre Christopher at Padre Jessie ang bahalang gumanti para sa inyo.

    ang sa akin ang pagbabawal ni Card. Vidal is not a matter of faith and morals..kaya hindi kasalanan ang hindi sumunod sa kanya..it is a matter of conscience..kung sa akala ng ibang pari (as in the two mentioned above) Lozada’s talks could help in their search for truth, then it is their right to follow their conscience..
    ..it would have been nice if there will be a mass but if the Card. will not allow it..then we just have to find another way. We will break bread with our non catholic brothers..We are all children of God..Kung ayaw ng mga Obispong ito ang sumama sa atin there is nothing we can do with that..iba kasi ang pagkain nila..kung baga steak ka nilang kinakain at tuyo ang atin..caviar ang tawag nila at sa atin bagoong o sa Bisaya ginamos..
    ..Ang sabi nga ng pastor namin kanina sa misa sa kanyang homily..”Money is the root of evil” money in itself is not bad but if we make it our IDOL then it is evil..
    ..Happy St. Patrick’s Day..

    I think to avoid a major confrontations among religeous leadership in thier sector,best solution for that,this only a suggestion,bring along the priest to officiates holy masses and a roving altar,which provide more conviniencies for the people want to attend/listened about searching for truth.Any messengers of our lord,doesn’t have authority to defied any individual to listen what kind of news he/she had to listen to.SOME of these SHEPERDS thinks once they been elevated to thier current positions are better than the LORD,these personalities more lower than the lowest form of animals,pretending to be holy.

  16. What can you expect from “worldly” priests?
    I grew up in Cebu studied under SVD priests (a disappointment) and I tell you guys these priests are far from living in simplicity. Ask them if they still have those women who wait on them hand and foot (with massage) and check out Vidal’s spokesperson’s background – Dacay. One time he drove around Cebu in a red convertible Mercedes and his daughters mind you are very pretty “mestizas.” Sickening, really sickening…but what can you expect? they think they’re royalty…

  17. This Dacay fancied himself as that good looking priest in “Thornbirds.” Now thats the type of priests vidal surrounds himself with and Gloria sees their weakness – worldliness and she has what it takes to keep their loyalty…

    I really can not understand our bishops. Why don’t they want the truth to come out? Why do they defend the evil one? the liar? the cheater? Do they now belong to the same PARISH?
    By the way their Pastoral letter said a mouthful and I agree and would want to be obedient to their advice. We should repent, repair and return what you took from the people. I AGREE!!! The “GOOD” bishops should now tell the evil little girl in Malacanang to return to ERAP the three years that she took from him. She should also return to the people the votes that she stole from them in 2004, although it’s too late, she had “KILLED” FPJ.

    ‘buti na lang at graduate na ako dyan sa mga simba-simba. Kundi’y baka inatake na ako ng high blood sa ginawa ni Baklang Vidal na ‘yan, at ang madjongerong spokesman nyang si Dakay.

    Sa karamihan na pumasok sa profession ng pagkapari at pagka-pulis, they are there, not primarily to serve, but to earn a living, dahil dyan, di mo kailangang matalino.

    gusa77, your idea of a revolving altar is great…he, he. A Priest can go around the city or other places with a revolving altar ready to officiate Mass if needed. So, if there are places that don’t allow to say Mass for Lozada, then this revolving priest can do the job. But what happens to the collection? For security reason, we need to be concerned with the money collected. It’s risky to be carrying money while going around…unless there’s a revolving bank too.

    Mukhang puro tapal ang inabot nitong si Padre Damaso, este Cardinal V dito. Kung baga sa tansan yuping-yupi na ang magaling (?) na pari. Bakit ng hindi, wala sa katuwiran ang kanyang mga pianggagawa. Sana dumungaw man lang siya kahit kaunti dito at matikman niya ang lagablab ng pagkamuhi sa kanya ng mga Filipino; baka sakaling mahimasmasan siya. Sa Katotohan lang po tayo di ba?

    Gabriela, why be surprised if a Monsignor has daughters. It’s been going on since the Spanish time. Mestizas? Look at our movie stars…aren’t they mestizos and mestizas, products of those Friars with Filipino women? People might think there’s Catholic bashing these days. Even before all these craps being done by these Bishops, the dark side of Catholic Church and her so called Servants of God has long been exposed. People just chose to keep quiet. Today, people are much smarter.

    Jose Vidal…he, he. Just change P to V and you get the correct answer. What about Jose Velarde….to Mike Velarde?

  29. Glad to hear about the two priests being moved by the Holy Ghost and following their conscience.

    Funny how mundane they would even describe such experience and cannot say that they have been prompted by that Still Small Voice, the Comforter whom Christ has promised to come and comfort those professing to have faith in Him.

    “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” (John 15: 26-27)

    Maybe we should start a petition drive to the Vatican people to have Vidal and Rosales and the likes to be removed or demoted from their position. Or at least let the Vatican know what they are doing. How dare they say Lozada is in politics. They should not contradict much more judge somebody whom the majority of the Filipinos perceived is telling the truth. First of all the men in (black) robe should not be involved in politics. Dapat umpisahan yong petition drive para matauhan sila. Hindi naman siguro kasama na sa lagay ang Vatican. Never know, makapal at lakas ng galamay ng evil gloria. Di naman sana hanggang papa.

  32. Jug:“causing your fellow man to stumble”
    *****

    Are you referring to the verse in Malachi 2: 8 “But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the Lord of hosts.”?

  33. Tell you what, Jug. My father was happiest when I changed my religion when I was 17. He was worried about my joining so many Catholic groups and getting too close to those priests. Years later he told me of his apprehension and how he had seen a lot many sleeping with hookers, and why he was never a practicing Catholic even when he was likewise baptized there as an infant because of his Catholic mother, my grandmother, whom I had since baptized by proxy for the dead.

    I am glad I did as a matter of fact. Otherwise, I would have been one of those blinded followers being forced to follow irrational rules, even frightened about going to hell and being pushed to stumble instead of being able to know the one true God, who loves us all.

  35. Chabeli Chabeli

    I caught the news where Cardinal Vidal himself is saying that he did not prevent any priests from saying mass for Jun Lozada. Could it be possible that there is indeed a rogue in the Cardinal’s side that is pro-Gloria & took the opportunity to, once again, divide-&-conquer ? Or could it be that Gloria saw an opportunity to deflect the issues away from her ?

  36. bitchevil bitchevil

    I still believe Vidal is pro-opposition. He’s very much pro-Erap. Your theory of “divide and conquer”, Chabeli, is possible. But, Vidal can also lie just like other bishops. Bishops and Priests are now known for telling lies…whether they learn this from Malacanang or vice versa, I don’t know.

    …Pacem in Terris: A Public Cry for Peace- Pacem in Terris suggests that peace is “founded on truth, built according to justice, vivified and integrated by charity, and put into practice in freedom.” Second Vatican Council’s stand on peace, recent social teachings…It declares that “every human is a person endowed with intelligence and free will, who has universal and in inviolable rights and duties.
    …The Peacemaking Vision of “Gaudium et Spes”..The Pastoral Constitution on the church in the Modern Wolrd.”- a new vision of love, human community and justice..it dealt with topics on truth, conscience, freedom…

    Just an example: if you request for a high mass mas malaki ang suggested donation kay sa ordinary mass na ten dollars lang..mag malakas ka sa simbahan at lagi kang nagreregalo..madali kumuha ng pari para mag misa sa bahay mo..though dito they don’t allow masses in houses..Pilipinos lang ang mahilig..bawal din ang mag misa sa funeral homes..pero nakakalusot din sa ilang Pilipino priests..Kaya dito sa US buhay na buhay ang business ng mga Filipino priests..kasi madalas may extra income..tatlo o apat magmisa sa isang linggo.

  42. Yuko,

    Re: “I am glad I did as a matter of fact. Otherwise, I would have been one of those blinded followers being forced to follow irrational rules…”

    Good on you and your father; I say well done!

    Firstly, I would like to stress a point that I think is highly pertinent here: NOT all followers of the Catholic religion are blinded by priests and the clegy in general; there are those whose faith are guided by a stronger belief in Christ and not in priests. It is unfortunate that you knew of Catholic priests who slept with hookers but you see, it is my firm conviction that they do not represent the entire community of Catholics.

    Moreover, allow me to catch your saintly attention to a fact: I personally am not one of those you tag as “blind followers” and I am sure there are many posters in Ellen’s blog who do not belong to that category you despise so. So, easy now on categorizing all Catholics –– it is really neither fair nor just to do that.

    The Mormon religion of which you are a member may strive for perfection — and I say well and good (at least you are assured of a place in heaven) — and perhaps, Mormons are indeed far more superior to Catholics on all aspects of spirituality which we here, the unfortunate Catholic souls can only envy you for.

    In fine, while I am prepared to castigate an individual belonging to a different religion or fatith from mine, one thing I can say, no matter my reservation towards a different religion, mine, others’, eg., Mormons, Iglesia ni Kristo, Protestants, Muslims, etc., I would never ever stoop down to the level of the scumbag to denigrate the general faith of my fellow human being.

    To our El Shaddai friends:

    Every Saturday evening, the road in front of the international airport in Parañaque is clogged with vehicles of followers of religious leader Mike Velarde of El Shaddai.

    Why cannot the authorities force them to obey traffic rules? President Arroyo is beholden to Velarde all right, but does that endow him with extra powers?

    Is it not enough that Velarde collects millions from his followers and is given multimillion-peso easy loans by the government while legions of poor Filipinos must squat and live in shanties?

    Note that Velarde is not a prelate of any church and El Shaddai is not a religion. Is he paying taxes on his collections by the millions? Who audits him?

Nagkakandarapa pa nga ang mga pari na magmisa dahil fifteen thousand pesos ang tongpats sa bawat isa sa kanila.

    Nakakaawa naman simbahan natin Kung tutuusin the cishops are not the ownwers of the Church> The people is the Church. Why does Vidal and Rosles listen to the Evil Gloria instead of the people. Are they not servants of the people just as sopposed leaders in government are servants of the people? They should serve and listen to the people. The church people once stole the voice of the people when they supported the evil one over the popular president voted by the most number of voters. They also chose to close their eyes on the cheating last 2004. We also made the mistake of believing and following them We were victims of a conspiracy and a hate campaign spuned by the evil Ramos, Gloria, Mike and the Church. Because of this we have to suffer the seeds of our stupidity. We get what we deservw. Remember, the voice of the People is the Voice of God and when we ignore this, we suffer the consequenses. Kawawang PILIPINO. VICTIMS of the rich, the learned and the Church.

    Si Rosales at Vidal ay itinutulak ang mga kaparian at mga Katoliko maging Rebelde. Did they even Listen to the CRY of the people? Ilan taon na naghahanap ang PILIPINO ng Katarungan at Katotohanan!!! money talks. They would rather listen to GMA, Remonde etc. kasi nakikinabang sila dito. Ano nga ba naman ang mapapala nila sa mahihirap? Problema pa nila yan. Pero ang mahihirap naghahanap ng hustisya at katotohanan may paninindigan, may prinsipiyo. may dangal! SHAME on you BISHOPS.Is that what God wants from you?

  51. grizzy,
    Growing up with priests like Dakay et al, my first taste for alcohol was in the church, Mompo as anyone who became an altar boy can relate.
    True, this experience pushed me to leave the catholic faith and join the MMCC (metro manila christian church) chapter in Cebu. But after a while, years actually, I realized it wasn’t the fault of the catholic faith but only by handful. I am now in the process of renewing my Catholic faith, going to church on Sundays albeit inconsistently but I’m still struggling with it.
    After all these years of wandering about, going with born again christians, iglesia, mormons, jehova’s witness – I am coming home to the faith of my birth…and no one will stop me, not those misguided men in robes…

  52. rose rose

    Sa lahat ng mga rallies na nakita ko, wala akong nakita na cardinals na sumali…iilang bishops..and my conclusions are : ang mga nag Glory glory aleluia ay cardinals and high ranking officials ng simbahan..ang mga sumasama naman sa our search for the truth..ay mga madre, brothers, at mga ordinary priests lang though may iilan lang..ang mga sasakyan ng mga pro gloria ay magagarang kotse..ang mga rallyista naman ay jeeps o bus #11 (dalawang paa); ang mga mga kinakain ng alipores ni glory be ay steaks vs. tuyo;caviar vs. bagoong; what money can do indeed…

  53. Nakakaawa din ang mga paring yan. They are not free, even to follow their conscience because someone can pull their strings and they can’t do anything about it. Call it blackmail or bribery or combination of both…

  54. rose rose

    I find it hard to distinguish the priesthood of Cardinals Rosales & Vidal et. al. and the human man that they are..ibang klase sila..Money talks…malungkot…

  55. But then, Anna, why stay in a church that does not make you appreciate God’s Love more? Why stay in a religion that restrict our God-given gift of love, that teaches only about the fires of hell, and yet fail to prevent their followers to be holy and not go to hell instead of encouraging them to have more love and compassion for one another.

    I don’t think it is looking down on this religion but being more factual as when the truth is God has admonished us to seek Him and the truth, His true Gospel, not be stuck in a religion that does not even encourage to read the Scriptures even when it is a fact that the Holy Ghost is there to teach and lead the truth seekers to the right path to the truth.

    I did as a matter of fact, and gained a testimony of this Gospel truth. I search for God in the Scriptures, and reason I guess why I found the discussions I had with our elders (missionaries) very easy to understand and digest.

    God loves us all, and it is not true that one who seeks for the truth can be at all be misled. It is more the motivation I guess that one is led astray even by the Adversary who competes with the Lord above. To be perfect is not in fact a sin. Matthew 5:48 says, “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Take it or leave it, we have the free agency to choose.

  56. gabriela,
    bitchevil is right, its very common in the church, especially with popular priests.
    A long time ago, I used to attend mass every Wednesday in the University of San Carlos chapel with someone I was going out with, actually because this someone dragged me to them. We had this priest there who looked okay, gave nice sermons, etc. One afternoon after mass, I was surprised when the girl I was with approached this priest after mass, pulled out a gift from her bag and gave it to him. I asked her if it was his birthday, it wasn’t, it was a “just because” gift. After that I stopped seeing this girl and going to mass. It was a shame, she being Miss University later on that year but at least I recovered my peace of mind after that.

  57. rose,
    That girl also came from STC Cebu (high school), wala talaga akong kadaladala nun… 🙁

  58. Jug,

    The two priests may join Christ who was deprived recognition as the Son of God and crucified by the pharisees like what the Catholic cardinal does now to them. Mas mabigat if they defy the promptings of the Holy Ghost sa totoo lang. It is tantamount to the shedding of innocent blood as a matter of fact that Christ has warned we should never dare do because it is unforgivable.

    Kesa makinig sila dito sa mga cardinal na puedeng i-bribe, mabuti pang magbasa na lang sila ng mga Scriptures, and let God lead them to the truth!

  59. rose rose

    happy: you are right in saying “kahit ilang madre o pari …kung baluktot ka…” in the same token..kahit buong college of cardinals and the entire bishops of the church ang kasama mo kung corrupt ka corrupt ka pa rin..kung putot ka putot ka pa rin..

  60. bitchevil bitchevil

    Did you suspect that the girl had some kind of relationship with the Priest? I do. Why would she give him a gift without any reason. And why did the Priest accept it? If she could do that in your presence, what more behind your back. She could have given her body too. I’m sure you have heard of the things seminarians do in the seminary. And they are not even priests yet.

  61. …Christ who was denied recognition as the Son of God and crucified by the pharisees….

    BTW, Jug, I also do not drink alcohol. It is prohibited in our church. I also do not smoke, nor drink tea and coffee. 😛

  62. rose,
    I don’t know whats in Theresians really. Its the way they speak English and bisaya, or maybe the self confidence, in college I was really facinated with them. Good thing I outgrew that stage, and moved on to Cebu Doctors’ College, where the nursing students seemed more interesting then…

  63. Yuko,

    Re: “But then, Anna, why stay in a church that does not make you appreciate God’s Love more?”

    You are being a bit over-presumptuous… Who told you that the Philippine Cardinal Vidal and his likes have any nefarious effect on my faith in the Catholic Church? Who told you that my Catholic faith does not make me appreciate God’s love more? Who on earth ever gave you that idea?

    Has it occurred to you that I am not involved with the Philippine Catholic Church just as I will never be involved in the Mormon faith as practised in Japan? Good heavens, faith is faith, nothing to do with the erring individuals that purport to lead a church, whether it’s Catholic or Mormonic.

  64. bitchevil bitchevil

    Why stay in a church that does not make you appreciate love more? Absolutely right. Why stay in a church that you don’t feel the power of the Holy Spirit? Why stay in a church where the preachers don’t practice what they preach? Why stay in a church that’s so corrupt? One must not stay just for the sake of being part of the church. If there’s spiritual emptiness and the church’s teachings and practices are contrary to God’s teachings, why stay?

  65. rose rose

    Semana santa na and we can reflect on Judas, Pontius Pilate, and the death of Christ to save us and look at what is happening sa atin..mayroon ding Pontius Pilate, Judas and death of the teachings of Jesus Christ..will we also have a resurrection? If we have faith and trust in God we will have a resurrection..so let’s continue praying for Katarungan, Kapayapaan and Kaunlaran…the truth will set us free…

  66. yuko,
    Anna has a point there. Its a personal relationship with God. If we mind what others are saying, we’ll be misled, or worst, we can be divided. Religion, as history will point out, is a great divider.
    Fortunately for us, the “golden rule” – do unto others, is universal, and much of the teachings in all churches. “Tolerance” is common to all I believe, and peace is even more…

  67. And Yuko, we all know how saintly you are and I’m happy for you but as I’ve said and in the same token, have requested you in the past several times over, that I will never denigrate your faith, I expect you to have to return the courtesy not to denigrate mine.

    You may rant against Cardinal Vidal and some of the bishops who work with him but under no circumstances do you have the monopoly of sainthood — there are other members of the Catholic faith (perhaps not me as I cannot and never will pretend to have the same perfection, nor the same goodness or the same gentleness as you, not ever!) who subscribe just like you to the teachings of Christ.

  68. bitchevil bitchevil

    What is faith? Christians and others keep saying about “Faith”. If there are false teachings and beliefs, there’s false faith. The Bible teaches that there are ways appear to be onto salvation but actually to destruction. In the latter days, false prophets will arise deceiving people. Those who profess to believe in God and Christ are not necessarily of God. Even the Devil believes in God and trembles…

  69. It has already begun. Sadly. Too many of our institutions are affected, the military, now even the church is polarized…too bad…

  70. Chabeli Chabeli

    Bitchevil,

    Thanks for your comments (March 18th, 2008 at 2:12 am). I wonder how much the Garcias (ie Winston, Gwen) donate to the church in Cebu..

  71. bitchevil bitchevil

    Blame it on one person…Arroyo. She’s the Anti-Christ in these last days.

  72. Agree Jug — I think the less we depend on the Church for our earthly political survival, the better it is for people.

    The West has changed religious traditions after hundreds of years. Politics is left to the earthly men. Bad politicians are not brought down with the help of the Catholic Church but by the people, the voters, the ordinary folks who cast their ballots. Time for the Philippines and Filipinos to get out of the medieval religious practices of old.

  73. Chabeli Chabeli

  79. Anyway, we need to keep ourselves from being divided also. Zealousness has a way of doing that, if we allow it.
    We may have to remember also the people who are trying to survive the worst possible living conditions, people who are unjustly deprived of liberty and family, careers put on ice, etc…It makes me sad, depressed, really at times. But what can we do? It is during these times that a man like me is forced to pray…just to keep from feeling helpless…

  82. bitchevil bitchevil

    Also, some women who are devoted Catholics look at Priests as “Christ”. Since Priests represent Christ, the women seem to worship the Priests. That leads to anything including forbidden romance. In the US, millions of dollars are spent to pay for the settlement of sex crimes committed by the Priests. Those came from donations, the hard earned money of the Catholic members.

  83. If there’s any Catholic congregation that’s fairly apolitical, I’d say it’s the SDB. I grew up with their brothers and priests, mostly Italians and Germans, who are focused on making young boys busy to prevent their minds from being “workshops of the devil.”

    These guys are the coolest (I may be biased) but a brother who was my 3rd-year Religion teacher frequently went with us on our Saturday mall trips and even helped pick up girls for us (yes, Rose, Jug, Assumptionistas, Scholasticans and Theresians – before the STC campus was sold to Adamson) heheh). I guess the white collar piece they wore gave the girls the idea that we were totally harmless. Before calling it a day, we hold our confessions right there in Glorietta or Quad Carpark (now Park Square) while walking around. That is the reason he goes to all these troubles, so that we can make our confessions later. That made us close friends.

    When he became a priest, we attended the ceremonies – several hours of High Mass (in Latin!) and my band later played the songs for his first mass in Pampanga. He later became the PTV-4 televised mass celebrant and he complained to us he felt stupid because he was the only person there aside from the tv crew of course and the rest of the audience as we saw it at home, were pre-recorded. He left the Salesian Order later because he wanted to do more for “politics” but the Salesians were not sold to the idea.

    That’s why I was surprised when our high school campus became staging ground for the marches during the last rally in Makati.

    Hindi na rin siguro masikmura ng SDB ang kademonyohan ng rehimeng Arroyo.

  84. Golberg Golberg

    From Anna:
    “You are getting a bit pre-sumptous.”
    Hindi lang naman siya. Marami ang ganon na dati ay mga Catholics. Pinagkait daw sa mga katoliko yung pagbabasa ng bible. Pre-sumptous nga. Mga anak ng protestante ganyan. Pwede sigurong sabihin na ang mga catholics ay stubborn kasi may encouragement si Pope Damasus hinggil sa bible. Somewhere in the old or new testament may nakasulat na 300 day indulgence for the catholic faithful who will read the scripture for a quarter of an hour. Yun pa lang nakalagay dun. Ang hindi nakasulat ay partial indulgence for the catholic faithful who will read the bible for half an hour and plenary indulgence for the catholic faithful who will read the bible an hour each day. Stubborn nga lang ang marami sa atin. Sana naman sundin din yung nakasulat “Judge not and ye not be Judged.” Panakot daw and Hell. Bakit nga ba napunta si Nero dun at kung sino pa ang dapat mapunta doon? Hindi panakot ang hell since it exists. Ang daming nagbasa ng bible at nagtayo ng sarili nilang religion. Bawal daw and alak. Sa bagong tipan, mga Pariseyo yata ang nakakita kay Jesus na umiinom ng wine. Pero ang tawg nila sa kanya “drunkard.” Sober of the sober yun.
    Yung mga pangyayari ngayon sa mga clergy ng Catholic Church, nakakalungkot talaga. Pero naalala ko yung sa Quito, Equador. Nagsabi ang Blessed Mother regarding the fate of priesthood. Ilang daang taon nangyari ito bago nabuhay yung tinutukoy niya. “On the later part of the 20th Century, one will rise to preserve priesthood.”
    At sa mga hindi Catholics, for your information, we are not being with held by the Church to read the bible but we are being encouraged. Stubborn lang kami.

  85. Temptation does not discriminate between laity and the religious. And priests, yes, even bishops, can be as gullible as we are and suckered into believing a liar such as Gloria Arroyo. That much I can forgive.

    But if they remain naive despite all the scandals, I have no remorse in choosing to take my faith via the direct route. For now.

    Tongue: My two younger brothers were graduates of Don Bosco..contemporary ng isa si Honasan..at kaklase niya itong si Dante Madriaga sa high school which was Don Bosco sa Mandaluyong and later sa UP sa college of engineering..To me, when a priests wear their Roman collar or their cassock it reminds us all to keep a distance (particularly for women) and respect their priesthood. Ang problema lang since Vatican 2 when they were allowed to wear the ordinary clothes (lalo na sa mga madre) I think they went over board..The religious orders like Franciscans, Benedictines, seem to be more proper..para bang mga cattles na nakawala sa corral..and I guess with the world we have today..it must be hard for them to “behave”..I am not much of “the devotional” type of catholic but I have heard it mentioned sa messages of the Blessed Mother to pray particularly for the priests..sa Holy Rosary where I used to work we do have the Cenacle Group..the Marian Priest Movement ata ang tawag nila.. I understand it is also done in the Phil. as I met some of the organizers..Our relationship with God (who ever He is to each of us) is a personal matter that each one of us should respect..after all we all believe in the same God..some may not accept Jesus as God..or Divine but that is their thing..As I grow in my Spiritual Journey, I focus more on in things common and don’t argue on the differences..dialague

  94. Don Bosco schools in the Phils probably have taken more streetchildren out of the streets than all presidents combined. Just proves that not all Catholic priests are of the same character like the frailes of old.

    Compare them with the OP’s Fr. Dela Rosa for his “unpriestly” remarks when Lozada heard mass in his alma mater with Cory. This priest was himself involved in corruption charges for supply contracts in the UST Hospital sans bidding. He was removed as rector of both UST and Letran because of this, though he remains rector in acting capacity.

    It is sad that the corruption in our country has infected even the holy ones.

    The Evil Bitch knows how to reward those in power. The Cardinals and bishops are not exempt. But there will always be more priests who will say mass even if there is just one sinner attending the mass. It is the duty of the church to serve all sorts of devotees. Sinner or saint, anybody is entitled to the church services.

    No matter how Vidal justifies his innocence in preventing any Cebu priest from officiating a mass for Lozada, the truth somehow finds its way out.

    In the same way that no matter how the Evil Bitch plugs all the holes so her stinking anomalies wont get out, the truth will always prevail.

    Its a struggle really but such is life. Myself, I tried looking for other churches, but eventually I have to return to the faith that will allow me to be with my parents, my wife, and children. I remember when I was a kid, my parents took us to church every Sunday, kumpleto kami, I looked at them sing the songs, pray together, the cotton candy after or popcorn, the balloons, etc. I want my children to experience that also.
    Gloria’s really done it this time, lahat na lang gagamitin, pati mga pari. The priests mentioned Vidal and Dakay, are noticeably materialistic priests, as I said, I grew up with such characters. Our (bogus)president knows too well how to capitalize on these weaknesses.

Its good evidence of how the philippine catholic church leadership have lost their moral moorings and moral ascendancy over their flock. Hopefully, the influence and patronage of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo have not reached the Vatican. let us pressure rosales, vidal, legazpi and other cardinals in favor of preserving evil to DISCLOSE financial and other favors they have received from the Palace, Malacanang, PAGCOR and GMA.

    its already wayward that their stand is devoid of biblical teachings; its worst they do it because they want to preserve the invisible hand that feeds them.

Kung wa epek pa rin, excommunication na at sasabihan ang mga tao na huwag suportahan ang isang lider sa magnanakaw, sinungaling, ganid at mandaraya.

  113. Well, guys, here’s another guaranteed hypocrite. The nerve to talk about immorality and being the epitome of what the Lord God hates: “These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.” (Prov.6:6-19)

    Gloria Dorobo says, “In our struggle against immorality, injustice and indifference, lead us not into the temptation of self-serving politics foisted by those who seek power as the main route to wealth and greater power, trampling the common good for individual or group interests.”

    The nerve of this creep to be talking of immorality, injustice and indifference, and pointing accusing fingers to her critics who criticize her for the very same things that they accuse her of, things that she has set the bad examples of and everyone now seems to regard as normal and good to emulate. 🙁

    Reminds me of the young Filipino I have just interviewed in jail who can no longer distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, true and false, virtue and vice. No thanks to this creep who probably now thinks she has the right to change the Ten Commandments of God likewise. Susmaryosep!

    Cardinal Jose Pidal has learned to lie just like other Bishops, thanks to their mentor in Malacanang. Vidal denied he ordered the priests not to say Mass.

  116. Allelujah!

    parasabayan Says: (March 18th, 2008 at 3:02 pm)

    “Inspite of all the scandals in the Catholic church, my faith is still srong. If I do not feel nourished spiritually in one church, I go to another church even if I have a longer drive. I was born a Catholic and I will die a Catholic. It is my faith and no rotten cardinal or bishop or womanizing priest will even change that!”

    Right on Parasabayan! Right on!

    Selective ang mga pari sa mga ipinagdadasal. Kailangang magbayad ka bago ka nila ipagdasal. May awayan din ang mga pari tungkol sa mga assignment ng parokya. Siempre, mas mayaman ang parokya, mas gusto ng pari, dahil sa kita duon. Mas mayaman ang mga pari compared sa ibang profession diyan, akala nyo ba.

    There was a joke that was passed to me. The kind of bell the church rings depends on one’s social status. The louder the bell rings, the wealthier the person. So, when a person wants a special Mass, the huge bell at the top of the church rings loudly for all the town people to hear. If you’re middle income, it’s a smaller bell. If you’re poor, it’s the bell of the ice cream vendor…kling, kling.

    KmKitako,I do agree om that matter,logically comparing to a 2 items with same weight,but different values,let say one kilo of worthless papers and a kilo of any metal w/c of the two are more heavier?both right!but for values, metal got more values than the other, speaking spaces occupancies,the metal has more advantages due density/masses properties.Could you imagine those priests preferred thier attendees are hi-level hypocrites,ln a small numbers,w/a donations of 3k to 5k pesos just to listened thier good news from our Lords,comparison to a large number of poor masses which capable of donating 10 pesos(max)and if the donator are little moderate in incomes they will crank out probably from 50- 100 pesos. That’s why some of hese ‘Sheperds” are not only BLIND & DEAF also has discriminating attitudes towards thier “FLOCKS”.

    tongue twisted – yan ang sikretong ayaw pawalan ng simbahan….ang katotohanan ay HINDI NATIN SILA KAILANGAN.

    “God Made Man in His Image and Likeness”

    si Jesus na mismo ang nagsabi

    “did I not tell you tha ye too are gods?”

    “I tell you, you too can do these things that I have done”

    pagpasensyahan nyo na at di ko masyado matandaan ang eksaktong bersikulo, per yan ang buod ng itinuturo ni Jesus, ang dahilan kung bakit siya pinapatay ng mga hudyo at romano

    kasi ang katotohanang sinasabi ni Jesus e di natin kailangan ng simbahan

    Ang malaking kasalanan ng amo niyong si Gloria ay ang buong Sambayanang Pilipino ang kanilang pinagnakawan, at sa lahat ng Pilipino rin sila ng sinungaling.

    Nakakalungkot nguni’t nagbalik nanaman ang panahon ng mga prayle gaya ni Padre Damaso. Tulad ng panahon ng mga kastila na kung saan ang mga prayle ang kakampi ng imperyalistang Espana at minamaliit at inaalipusta nila ang mga indyo.

    Ganun din ang nangyayari ngayon, pinagtatakpan ng ilang obispo ang rehimen ni Gloria Arroyo at ng kanyang pamilya, habang patuloy silang nagbibingi-bingihan sa sigaw ng sambayanan.

    Mga Padre Damaso ng kasulukuyang panahon, mahiya naman kayo!

    The Catholic church has awaken from their deep slumber,now they realize that the venue for partisan politics for this nation to move on is not in the church.Holy masses are called holy because it is pure of any partisan interest. LOzada and his gang can attend masses everwhere they want to but are not allowed to talk about their self serving interest.You dont need to lecture the church about corruption either they know it more than anybody else. the only help they can give is spiritual not to provide warm bodies in rallies to topple the government.The right venue for Lozada and his gang is the court there and only there where they can find the truth they are seeking for.

  128. andres andres

    ebvmart,

    In the Regime of Gloria Arroyo, the bishops, the police, the military, the media, and everyone else has been corrupted by the Donya herself.

    Lozada probably lost faith in the system, that is the reason why he seeked sanctuary from the Catholic Church thinking that they would help protect him.

    He was a desperate man who feared for his life, and in the process just told everything he knew so that his life may be spared.

  129. ebvmart,

    Yes. spoken like Mike Arroyo, “go to court!” As if we don’t know how they can manipulate the legal “truth.”
    Would Gloria allow herself to undergo lie detector test, how about her husband?
    Can we line up everybody involved and have them tested? Baka takot sila?

    Akalain nyo mga bloggers, di daw kailangan ng simbahan sabi ni Kristo?

    E ano yung paguusap nila ni Pedro at sinabi ni Hesus kay Pedro na, “Ikaw Pedro, sa pamamagitan ng batong ito itatayo ko ang aking Iglesia.” Hindi pala kailangan ng simbahan, e nagtayo pa siya ng simbahan na isang “Deposit of Faith” at sa pamamagitan ng mga Apostol at mga iniwan nilang mga alagad nila magtuturo sila para sa kaligtasan ng mga tao sa tulong ng Espiritu Santo. Ang Diyos daw at ang tao ay iisa?
    Naku po mahabagin! Ito ang resulta ng pagkagutom ng tao!
    Kung ang Diyos at ang tao ay iisa, bakit may mga nahulog sa lugar na para lamang sa mga demonyo?

  137. Jug: Its a personal relationship with God.

    *****

    You bet, it is. And to be not misled, Christ Himself has given the most effective advice: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” (Matt. 7: 7-8)

    For as James wrote in the Scriptures, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:5-8)

    I feast on the Words of God rather than rely on the precepts of men. I don’t think I can be misled by anyone pretending to be holy if I listen carefully to the Holy Ghost, whose Gift I have received when I accepted Christ as my Saviour as did members of our church when they were baptized and confirmed as members of Christ’s Church.

    In fact, Christ warned His disciples to be careful not to be deceived by false prophets, et al. and take heed not to be deceived as when people change Christ’s admonition to pray only to the Father in His Name, not to many saints who must have committed sins as a lot many of us do and have their own selves to ask the Lord above to save.

    “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. • • • For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matt 24: 11, 24)

    I don’t know how and why these Gospel truths should be taken as offensive.

  138. bitchevil bitchevil

    Why Gospel truths taken as offensive? Because truth hurts…and people want to hear those that are only itchy to their ears. For this reason, many Pastors instead of preaching the true Gospel teach a different one to please their audience.

  139. xman xman

    Sa opinion ko lang eh may katwiran si Goldberg dahil bakit pa nga mag tatayo pa ng sarili niyang Iglesia si Kristo kung personal relationship lang pala ang kailangan para maligtas.

  140. bitchevil bitchevil

    Xman, you sound like INC’s opponent, Ang Dating Daan of Ely Soriano. But if you ask INC, they will tell you that personal relationship with God is not enough. INC calls us as self-proclaimed Christians. INC srongly believes that church is necessary for salvation. Her argument is based on the biblical teaching that the Christ is the Head and His Body is the Church. Hence, one must belong to His Body to be saved. INC further states (according to the Bible) that Christ loves the church so much that He died for it (church). If the church is not important, such teachings would not have been written in the Bible. Of course I’m sure you and me, all of us have our side of argument. As for relationship with the Lord, that rebukes the Catholic Church’s teaching that the Priest is the mediator to God since the Priest represents Christ on earth. This is where I don’t agree. The Bible clearly teaches that Christ is the only Mediator between men and God. So, why confess our sins to humans like priests?

  141. bitchevil bitchevil

    FYI, the Pope of Vatican is visiting the Philippines next month. Let’s hope he is directly informed of the wrongdoings by some of our corrupt bishops. However, I’m sure Malacanang together with CBCP and other pro-Arroyo bishops will keep the Pope away from the opposition and the people. They will hide the truth from the Pope.

  142. bitchevil bitchevil

    Correction…I’m sorry…the Pope is visiting the US not the Philippines.

  143. OK iyong suggestion ni Chi na dapat iyong mga katoliko sumulat doon sa Papa nila para pagbawalan ang mga pari sa Pilipinas na magbulag-bulagan at magbingi-bingihan sa katotohanan pagkagtapos na matapalan ng lagay ni Gloria Dorobo. Iyan ang isa sa gagawin ng mga kasama naming mga katoliko sa movement namin sa totoo lang. It should be done, sa totoo lang.

    If the Pope is really inspired of God, he will surely know what to do with those erring cardinals.

  144. bitchevil bitchevil

    The question and problem is…the Pope is not inspired by God.
    The Pope belongs to and is inspired by the other side; hence, the never ending scandals and chaos.

  145. Golberg Golberg

    Bitchevil says: So, why confess our sins to humans like priests?
    Receive the Holy Ghost; whose sins you will forgive, they are forgiven then. And whose sins you will retain they are retained. (John XX,21) Ano ang mas maganda, yung produkto lang ng ating isipan o yung tagubilin ng nagsabi nung sinulat ni Juan?
    Ang INC nga naman oo! Hindi daw nagturo ang mga apostol. Narinig ko iyan sa kanilang T.V program. Di ko kilala yung mga nagsasalita. Pero nabanggit nila iyan. Sabi nga naman kasi ni Pedro, “Hindi po ako karapatdapat.” Syempre kasi wala pa yung Holy Ghost na magtuturo sa kanila ng nararapat. Pero nung ito’y bumaba, naging karapatdapat sila. Nasa anyong dilang apoy nga eh.
    Ganito nga yata ang paraan ng mga INC para mabigyan lang katwiran yung kanilang dahilan. “Mayroong simbahan talaga ang noon pero ito ay nawala at napalitan ng ibang simbahan.” Nasa pasugo ito kung hindi ako nagkakamali. Pareho sila ng mga Mormon. Kung sa bagay bago nagtayo ng sarili niyang iglesiya si Manalo, dati pala siyang mormon. Hindi natuwa kaya nagtayo ng sarili niyang simbahan. Imagine nawala ang simbahan at bumalik sa pamamagitan ni Manalo noong 1914. Yung isa naman, nawala ang simbahan at bumalik lang noong 1836 sa pamamagitan ni Smith. Ginawang sinungaling si Kristo o kayay hindi marunong tumupad sa kanyang pinangako ng sabihin niyang “Ikaw Pedro, at sa batong ito itatayo ko ang aking Iglesya. At kahit pintuan ng impyerno ay hindi mananaig sa kanya.”
    Kung walang mediator between God and man how can a sinners prayer be heared by God when infact we all know that He hides His face from the sinners who doesnt know Him? Nakasulat din iyan.
    Tama nga yung sabi ni Fr. Piñon sa amin. Ang mga INC kapag nagbasa ng passage sa bible, isang passage lang at hindi itutuloy yung karugtong para hindi maipit. Training ito ng mga magiging ministro ni Manalo. Ganun din ang mga mormon. Magbabasa ng passage pero bitin para lang igiit ang gusto nilang igiit.
    Kapuna puna lang, ang bawat relihiyon na hindi Katoliko may hawak na bible. Pero sila-sila nagbabangayan habang ang calim ay “we have the Holy Ghost or we inspired by God.” Kung ganito e bakit iba-iba ang sinasabi? Iba-iba rin ang pamamaraan sa pagbibigay ng katwiran sa pagtatayo ng kanilang simbahan. Wala palang mediator between God and man e ano ang pala ang silbi nila Pedro at ibang apostol ng Diyos? Wala palang mediator e bakit nandiyan ang mga ministro ng bawat sekta o relihiyon? Wala palang mediator e bakit kayo basa ng basa ng bible?

  146. xman xman

    Bitchevil says: The Bible clearly teaches that Christ is the only Mediator between men and God. So, why confess our sins to humans like priests?

    Golberg, my understanding on what bitchevil said is that you can only confess your sins directly to the mediator, Christ. The confessions of your sins is the domain of Christ alone and not done thru a priest, minister, pastors, or any human beings.

  147. xman xman

    Golberg says: Ginawang sinungaling si Kristo o kayay hindi marunong tumupad sa kanyang pinangako ng sabihin niyang “Ikaw Pedro, at sa batong ito itatayo ko ang aking Iglesya. At kahit pintuan ng impyerno ay hindi mananaig sa kanya.”

And ANDREs my dear, if Lozada is fearing for his life he should confine himself to a place where he will feel secure and safe but look at what he is doing, he is going around the Philippines,hmmm not a proper way to behave when you believe there is a threat on your life.The Bishops have all the right to query on the motive of Lozada,like you have the right to question the integrity of GMA,Lets be fair if one doesnt go on what you believe in,dont tag them to be corrupt as well, its childish.

  149. Golberg Golberg

    xman, ganito yun.
    Yung Peter sa salitang Aramaic ang ibig sabihin ay rock. “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church. And the gates of hell will prevail against it.”
    May mga nagsasabi kasi na hindi Catholic church ang simbahan at religion na itinatag ni Kristo dito sa pamamagitan ni Pedro. Sabi ng nga mga INC hindi daw totoong nagturo ang mga apostol. Kung hindi nga nagturo walang simbahan. Sino ang magtuturo? Si Martin Luther? Joseph Smith? Felix Manalo? Gregorio Aglipay? Dr. Russel? Quiboloy? Soriano? Sino? Si Pedro yung naging sandigan ng Diyos para sa kanyang iglesya. Kasama ng ibang apostol, humayo sila at nagturo. At dahil sila man ay mamatay din, nagtalaga sila ng mga alagad din nila na siyang sumunod at nagpatuloy sa mga nasimulan na nila.
    Regarding confession. Nakasulat na nga sa banal na aklat na “Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you will forgive they are forgiven then. And whose sins you will retain, they are retained.” Kung may mga nagconfess na kina Peter, mali ba yung confession nila? Iyan ang nakasulat e. Iyan ang tagubilin. Pagdududahan pa ba natin ang nakasulat na sa banal na aklat?

  150. Valdemar Valdemar

    Tama na, sobra na, ibagsak ang simbahan at isama si aling Gloria.

    Golberg, tingnan natin ang history.

    kailan ba lumitaw ang Roman Catholic Church? Ang Roman Catholic Church ay lumitaw noong fourth century. Matagal ng patay si Kristo at ang mga apostol ng lumitaw ang Catholic Church.

    At kung titingnan mo uli ang history ay hindi nakarating si Peter/Pedro sa Rome. Kaya hindi maaring maging first pope ng Catholic si Peter. Mga 350 years ng patay si Peter bago lumitaw ang Catholic Church.

  152. xman xman

    Is there any record that there had been popes in the New Testament? The pamphlet Bishop Strossmayer’s Speech in the Vatican Council of 1870, page 4, provides the answer: “Now, having read the whole New Testament, I declare before God, with my hand raised to the crucifix, that I have found no trace of the papacy as it exist at this moment.”

    Joseph Georg Strossmayer read the whole New Testament in his 67 years of ministry as a priest and did not find trace of papacy in the teaching of Christ and apostles.

    “Finding no trace of the papacy in the days of the apostles, I said to myself, I shall find what I am in search of in the ‘annals of the church’. Well, I say it frankly–I have sought for a pope in the first four centuries, and I have not found him.” (Ibid. page 10).

  153. xman xman

    Hindi lang si Strossmayer ang nagsulat tungkol dito pero di ko na nilagay dahil hahaba lang.

    Kaya hindi nga Roman Catholic Church ang tinatag ni Kristo sa pamamagitan ni Pedro. Bakit? Dahil mga 350 years ng patay si Pedro ng lumitaw ang Roman Catholic Church. Paano nya maitatag ang Roman Catholic Church eh six feet under the ground na siya non.

  154. Golberg Golberg

    xman, kahit balibaliktarin mo ang new testament, wala kang makikitang pope dun. Ikaw na sumagot sa tanong mo.
    Ano tinatag niya? Sino ang mga nagturo? Bishop Strossmayer?
    Apostate yun eh!
    May sinabai si Pablo tungkol kay Pedro nun eh.
    Nasa Constantinopole si Pedro nun. Pero nung makarating ang muslim dun, lumipat siya ng lugar. Si Pablo mismo ang nagsabi kung saan niya nakita si Pedro.

    Ito na nga sinasabi ko. Ang tagal ng issue yan tungkol sa Catholic church pero hanggang ngayon di pa rin siya bumabagsak. Baka pati kay Dan Brown naniwala ka? Wala ba kayong ibang maisip sa issue na kasing lakas ng hydrogen bomb na ibabagsak nyo laban sa Catholic church? Eh kasing lakas lang ng super lolo thunder ang pinasasabog nyo eh. Yung pinasasabugan nyo eh nakatayo pa rin. May tumutulong na nga sa inyo mula sa loob para masira ng tuluyan ang simbahan, hindi nyo pa rin masira. Ano ba iyan?

  155. Golberg Golberg

    Valdemar, sige ibagsak mo!
    Maganda siguro alamin mi kung sino-sino yung mga nasa loob ng St. Peter’s basilica at tumulong ka sa kanila para mapabagsak yung simbahan.
    Meron kaming AA 1025 dito. Diary yun ng isang komunista o mason yata iyon na isang pari. Detalyado dun kung ano pakay nila at bakit gusto nilang sirain ang simbahan. Ang kaso namatay yung pari. So that time 1024 na lang iyon. Around 1970’s nakuha ng isang nurse ang diary na ito. 2008 na, baka mahigit 3,000 na sila sa loob at patuloy na sinirira ang simbahan. Tulungan niyo na. Kawawa naman. Mga lawit na ang dila nun at nanggagalaiti na sa kakasira ang kaso tayong tayo pa rin yung sinisira. Upakan nyo ng upakan. Gumamit kayo ng bible. Ibato nyo para masira. May mga trovel yung mga yun, magdala ka ng piko, pala, jack hammer, dynamite, etc. Pag pasasabugin na ang dynamite, isama mo si Gloria.

  156. Golberg Golberg

    xman, sinuportahan mo din pala ang sinabi minsan nung mga alagad ni Manalo.
    Kung apostacy pala ay gate of hell, hindi nga tumupad si Kristo sa usapan nila ni Pedro. Or worst, nagsinungaling siya nung sabihin niyang “The gates of hell will not prevail against it.”

  157. xman xman

    Matthew 16:18
    And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

    Hades is aramaic word which means grave or death

    Death will not overcome it because he will save his chosen one even if they died already they will be included in the first resurrection. That’s why Hades will not overcome it.

    Goldberg,
    I would be much happier to have the Filipinos to forget about the church. Or any church for that matter. They are not helping us any. Besides, they use the wrong bibles. All want the truth since time immemorial and still looking until now. I dont think that nurse or your AA1025 has anything to do with Gloria.

  164. bitchevil bitchevil

    There is no wrong bible. It’s the wrong interpretation that’s the problem. Many religions and preachers twist the words of God to suit their own doctrines. There lies the danger…

  165. Golberg Golberg

    Bitchevil, somehow ang in a way what you wrote is true (actually, really true). Twisting the words of God to suit their own doctrines is the name of the game for the entire protestant religion. If you say that your bible only consists of 67 books, you have an incomplete canon of the original text, even if the translation in not twisted. The Jews did something stupid just to get rid of Jesus Christ which is also what the Protestants did. Tydale’s version, Wycliffe version and Coverdale’s version are not just wrong, they lack the original canon text. The Catholic Church admits that they were burned because of omissions and mistralations from the orginal text. 67 is not the original number of books of the bible. What Valdemar said above is also true. Far worst is, if the bible which is already lacking the original text is also mistranslated. Do you have 67 books?

  166. Golberg Golberg

    Mali ako.
    Dapat dun ay 62 at hindi 67.
    Kaya kung meron kang 62 books of the bible (Old and New testament) what you have is a wrong bible not just on its text but on the number of books compile into one. Do you have 62 books?

  167. Golberg Golberg

    Or rather do you have 62 or 67 books?
    Even if you have 67 books, that is still wrong aside from having errors on its text.
