May the poor be helped, may those who give generously continue to give with meekness in their hearts, for sure, God loves a happy giver.

In my honest opinion, this has to be the most beautiful version of this Hymnal.
I am uplifted when I hear this song, and the message it shares.
Truly, there is beauty in other languages, especially when Glorifying God in the Highest.
It Unifies ; and places all differences aside.
For His Glory.

Beautiful.

Murderers , rapists, etc may have violated their victims in the most unimaginable ways possible. However, when the state performs capital punishment, it shows decency and respect for the human person at least to provide a sterile needle. The state, when administering this justice, acts accordingly to the decision of the Court, the Living Interpreter of the Law of the Land.

Better a sterile needle than an overused / shared guillotine. :)

Republic Act? Right?

Sus mao ra jud na ilang gikyawkyaw yet they don't pay taxes.  While naay uyamut nga pinoy nga trabahante, nagbayad ug tax yet dili man gani ka enjoy sa iyang right to have choices kay ang simbahan dili mosugot.




Article 133 of the Revised Penal Code, to be exact.

Art. 133.
Offending the religious feelings. — The penalty of arresto mayor in its maximum period to prision correccional in its minimum period shall be imposed upon anyone who, in a place devoted to religious worship or during the celebration of any religious ceremony shall perform acts notoriously offensive to the feelings of the faithful.



The Law is The Law.

Again, Celdron was found wanting and violated the Law. THUS, it is important to understand the DICHOTOMY between the constitutional right to protest and the manner in how one protest, so it does not violate national laws and bylaws.

I rest my case.

i get your point but you didn't get mine.

plain and simple lang, nganong ang pari during sa misa pwede man motira against such bill? besides, dili lang sa kana nga topic. how come these people when they protest and interrupt government business okay ra man? klaro ana one sided ang simbahan.

same issue here. if ikaw motira nako, okay ra ko. but if ikaw maigo, unsa imong gibuhat, di ba BAN dayun?

Of course I understood your message, that is why I enunciated the dichotomy of : the right to protest and the manner of protesting.

People in the Republic of the Philippines have the right to protest and voice concern, but in accordance and respect to the rights of others. In regards to your rhetorical question on why Catholic priests voice their opposition to this bill; they are doing this not for political reasons, but because it transgresses against the core tenet of the Catholic Principle of the Holiness of Family Life, which has been an agenda for over 2 millenia. Since the Church officials are sharing the views of the Church towards those of the faithful (and in many cases, inside the Catholic Church), there is no negative interjection implied.

On the contrary, Celdron's actions was a direct infringement against the celebrants of Mass, against Republic Act that guarantees the right to Worship, and was a manifestation of a blatant disregard of the national and constitutional rights of the hundreds of people in that church who wanted to worship Mass.

Because of his indecency and blatant disregard of the law, he was arrested, punished and exposed.

Again, I reiterate, Celdron was found wanting.

I agree with you Ms. Isle.

The version of separation of church and state that is presently being foisted on an unsuspecting public is tantamount to a suppression of the fundamental constitutional rights of a class of citizens. Since when is Christian thought not permitted to influence a country that was founded on Christian principles? We share in the good and the evil of those we place in office.The Catechismof the Catholic Church teaches that, although “sin is a personal act, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them.We can be accomplices in the sins of others:
By participating directly and voluntarily in them;
By ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
By not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so.
I am happy ing stand jud ang catholic church bahin aning RH Bill.
If there is ignorance, instruct the ignorant. If there is obstinacy, exact the canonical
penalty. To fail to do so results not only in ignorance and obstinacy, but negligence and
permissiveness: the fertile soil in which a degenerating culture can multiply its errors,
bear evil fruit, and die.Religious leaders are in a unique position to influence the nation
and the world for the better by calling their people to high moral standards. Failure to do
so ultimately results in disaster, for the moral  demise of the nation always precedes the ultimate demise of a nation.

Two thumbs up, Raquel!

:)
#28114
Clearly you didn't read properly. It was never said that the Catholic Church was against protesting, but the manner of protest is quite obvious. The reasons for Celdran's arrest is due to his interruption of Catholic Mass in utmost loss of decorum.

There is a dichotomy one needs to differentiate: The right to protest and the manner in how one protests; the latter of course needs to ascribe to national laws and bylaws.

Don't confuse them both; discord , as is seen in your post, manifests.

In regards to the article and the situation, Celdron was found wanting.

-The Purity Of Love-


"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. the greatest of these is love."

--1 Corinthians 13:1-8 and 13

The book you are referring to is "The Book of Mormon"

By a prophet Joseph Smith.

Mormons also have a bible just like yours and mine for reference and they have other books on doctrine and covenants, priesthood, and also the bible....King James version.

He he he as you said another topic for another day buddy!!!

ingat!!!


:)

The Book of Mormon is not the Bible.

And I personally do not recognize any other bible versions (Unless it be the Complete, Unadulterated Catholic Holy Bible; the original)

King James Version of the Bible omitted over 7 books from the Holy Bible. It is not the complete form. I do not read protestant versions of the bible, but the Only True and Complete Form: The Roman Catholic Holy Bible.


Take care, Priscilla.

Quote from: JellyBean on October 02, 2010, 01:45:55 PM
I am glad you have brought this up Lorenzo about talking thing over with Church personal and officials....

It just so happened yesterday my friend I had run into a Church nun here at BQ I asked if the country is so dominated in Catholic faith then why is it when they (Catholics) try to control over birth control matters in the nation then why cannot they also at the same time try to lower the prices with foods in the grocer stores.

Things here have gotten really expensive with out a doubt.

When standing in grocery store check out lanes you can see more now days that people in the line in the front of you are having to put back more groceries because what they had been budgeted for a long time is becoming so out of control in how things are constantly rising in price here.

Now back to the nun/sister....Her reply to me was not a great one she just shuddered and could not answer he question.

It like asking a Catholic why they are baptized as Catholic? it is not always for the knowledge of the faith it is because even as young innocent babies the Catholics will baptize them because the parents were and the grandparents are Catholics.

Even the Catholics as well as other religions are not going by the words of the bible...I see it and I am sure God sees it as insulting when innocent babies and children before age of eight are being baptized.

Let that child gain knowledge for himself when he is old enough to understand and also the right to choose his own religion....



Priscilla,

Thank you for your post. The Catholic Church has no control on the fiscal economy, so therefore, it cannot reduce the prices of food (tho I wish She could!!!), however, its importance and role is exemplified in the human structure, the basic family structure, and the natural process of child birth, conception, and the natural process of aging, and death.

When I was in Bohol , I was rather impressed with the improvements in the province, as compared to my memory of how life was like some 20 years ago. When i was in ICM, BQ, Alturas etc, i saw alot of customers and the heavy amount of goods they were buying, which I guess could reflect the overall growth of the people, and stability in general. I think it is unfair, Priscilla, for us to compare American society (with its plenitude) to a nation like the Philippines which is still growing and modernizing.

In regards to your comment on child baptism being unbiblical, I suggest you read more into the bible. Mind you, Priscilla, it was not the Protestant Churches or the LDS (Latter Day Saints) that wrote the bible; in fact the LDS don't have  a bible, but have a 'second' book written in accordance to J. Smith. (I have my reservations towards that, but that is a topic for another day) :)

You might be surprised to hear this, Priscilla, but it was the Roman Catholic Church that wrote, compiled, and ratified the Holy Bible. As in all things. The authority is hers, through Grace of God. :)


To answer your query,
Here is a verse for you:



Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
-Acts 2: 38-39


Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.  But Jesus said, Suffer not the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

-Matthew 19:13-14



Best,
Lorenzo

Why not? Naa man gani "siguro" ka (LoL). Aw, basin pog ni sunod ni San Pedro nga duna say pamilya ug mga anak. O di gani basin sa Mahal nga Birhen.... unya iya anak end up being the Messiah. You'll never know, hehehe. But kidding aside, I don't understand what has it to do with the topic at hand. If it does, aw, that says a lot nganong di pod sila ganahan ug artificial family planning... please read in between lines  ;D

The real story is... celibacy (not being married) is a precept (mind you, not a doctrine) in the Latin Rite (meaning, Roman Catholics) for her priests. Mao ni siya atong naandan, nga ang mga pari di jud maminyo. But in the other 12 or 13 other Catholic Rites, Catholic priests have the option to stay celibate or get married. Di lang ta suheto ani kay wa or gamay raman mga Eastern Rite Catholics sa ato. But if you live in Greece, Syria, some parts of Russia, allowed man mag minyo ang mga pari.

But to answer the question "Nganong naa may mga anak ubang mga pari?" Aw, unsa paman diay... nituna bisag way langaw sa basakan."  ;D

Among priests ang tawag ani nila "kabog!!!"  ;)




Well said, Father, well said. I am sure not many of the readers out there knew of such special cases, as seen in the Eastern Catholic Rite.

Thank You for sharing with us, Father.
#28119
Even if he disagreed with ecclesiastic decision, he could have expressed his differences in other venues , per se in a formal meeting with church officials. His blatant disregard towards the feelings of others and worship not only desecrated Holy Mass , but agitated many celebrants there.

He claims to be Catholic , yet has the indecency to show such disregard.

Give honor and respect where it is due. Before the Sacred Eucharist and the Altar of God...

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

Correct, Isles. Just as the poster who asked that question is not impervious to sin, so are the priests. Romans 3:23 states, "For all have fallen short of the Glory of God." There is none amongst us that is free from sin.

The tone of such a comment is similar to the accusers of Mary Magdalene. Before you judge others, look at yourself. Before you point out the pin that is in your brother's eye, look at the log that is in your own eye. (paraphrasing from Luke Chapter 6, with emphasis)

4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;

5 The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars,

6 He makes them also skip like a calf,

7 The voice of the LORD divides the flames of fire.
         
8 The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;

9 The voice of the LORD makes the deer give birth,
         And strips the forests bare;
         And in His temple everyone says, “Glory!”
         
10 The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,

:)

The spiraling population rate in Europe is quite dismal. Europe (Western) is uber- liberalized and its societies have altered the traditional view of the family life and as an effect, have reduced birth rates, and the psychological (cognitition, in mind) can be affected due to the decreased fervor in terms of religious life as well as the aberration seen in many of its societies.

The Catholic Church, in this case, The Philippines, is doing nothing extraordinary. It is defending the natural process of life, the natural process of human growth, and the continuation of the foundation of religious life, which in essence, lies in the basic family structure.

In laymen's terms: If you screw up the basic family structure, you screw up society, and the religious / faith life. Look at Europe. It's loosing its sense of Christiandom. Sad to say.

There is no democracy in the catholic church. This perversion is usually the result of a humanist view of man being codified into Church Doctrine by zealous priests and bishops .If someone is a practicing catholic and uses birth control, cargo de conciencia!

Father Lungay, for me, I find no discord between Science and Catholic Faith. In my opinion lang, our understanding of science (which is quite minimal) gives man an idea of how God works His Brilliance amongst the Universe. We can never come to fully understand Him and His Ways.
He is our Creator, and we His beloved creation.

Hahahaha pareglahan na sad ko ninyo dah hahahaha.  ;D But thanks for the little complement. Bitaw, dili mana ako woi, mao man lang sad na akong pagsabot sa mga pagtulun-an sa atong simbahan, sama sad ninyo. Like most of us here I'm also, or, just a student of life. Daghan pa sad ko wa masabti... pero sama sa panultion, we're always on a search... for whatever, whether it be answers to life's questions, search for peace and happiness, search for truth, wisdom, etc. Pwede pod search pamalit og ice candy or manok BBQ (little dinero lang god).  ;D

And along the way we stumble a lot. But our faith gives us the assurance, or reassurance, that "somewhere out there" (dili tong kanta ha?  ;D), there is a God who loves us and cares about us (who even died for us)... which is truly a beautiful thought. And we put faith in that thought or promise. Simple as that (or is it?).

Pero naa baya poy laing mga ideals or world-views that think otherwise or something else (other that the Christian thought) sama sa nagkalain-laing mga world religions, communists, atheist (nga lain sag mga pangutok kay sa atoa)... Well, mao man sad nay ilang panan-aw sa kinabuhi or how they explain their worldly existence, so wa pod tay mahimo. Lain-lain baya ning mga panan-aw o panabot nato aning kalibutana and we simply live by it (our faith system) that we think is meaningful to us or make sense to us... because it's what we think gives meaning (purpose) to our life or existence.

Ug usbon ko, as Christians or Roman Catholics, mao man sad ni dagan sa atong pangutok... so kung dili ta ganahan sa panan-aw nga Katoliko, aw, naa pa man poy daghang selection sa MENU sa kinabuhi and we're free to choose what fits our personality, attitude or outlook. But don't claim to be Catholics when in reality you really believe otherwise.

Personally, I have great respect for people of other beliefs/faith (atheists included) when they live their lives out of conviction. In fact, I have friends from the Eastern Bloc countries (e.g. Czeck Republic, Croatia) who are "atheists by birth" but are the most wonderful people you could ever meet... and they are just as respectful to the Catholic faith, sometimes, even better than some people who claim to be Catholics hahahaha. Mor pa!!!  ;D

Anyway, thanks Bran (TB's official Catholic Defender), day RAQ (for your down-to-earth-ness), Islander (yes you can keep the note for your file) & Scarbz (Scarb-ramouche2x will you do the pandango!

Hehehe, Faith truly is something that cannot be explained, but for those who have it and understand its effect, know that it is Truth unrivaled.

Just as the water buffalo , the grazing zebra, the wildebeest come back to the plains of Serengeti (Africa) every year, our faith in Christ is similar. These grazing herbivores come back to this place because of instict, knowing that the rainy seasons brings much needed green grass, fresh cool water to drink and the environment to raise their young until the coming of the dry season. This relationship can be translated as faith, in the fact that these animals traverse back to the Serengeti even during the dry season and wait till the coming of the rains. Normally, no animal would traverse back to an area without presence of sustenance (water, green leaves), but these animals do so. Because they they see beyond the eyes. They have faith of the coming of the rain. This is similar, in symbolic sense, to the Christian's (Catholic/Orthodox and Protestant; mind you Catholics are also Christian!!!! hehehe!!!); we cannot see Christ physically (perhaps in the form of Eucharistic Adoration) but we know that Christ is there with us. Is here with us, in our pains, in our joys, whatever circumstance it may be, we know that He is there with us. We know that when we die, we will be judged accordingly according to our faith and according to our deeds. We know that the darkness of death is not eternal, but only a phase, for we believe (and thus, KNOW) that Salvation is ours , for those who live and die in Christ....

We cannot physically see salvation, but we know it is there, we know we have it, we know that we are called to it. Just as the grazing herbivores know that the rains will come in the Serengeti, know that the dry season will disappear with the coming of the flooding , life-giving rain.

God In His Incomparable Brilliance makes His presence known every day.
It is up to  man to either continue to war with him or embrace His Love and Come to His loving Bosom.



To Him be Glory, Honor and Majesty for Endless Ages.

You are more than welcome, Father Lungay. And as a Roman Catholic Priest, your presence in Tubag Bohol Dot Com brings a sense of sanctity to this site. Your thoughts made into words upholds the faith of many of us Catholics, the Wisdom that you have posted is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in your life as well is seen in the lives of many of us. Your explanation truly illustrates the stance of the Roman Catholic Church in all things, there is no forcing anything, but there is the provision of Sacred Scripture as well as Tradition to those who are willing and open to hear them.

I will end this with this statement:


For two thousand years, the Roman Catholic Church has upheld Sacred Truths and has been pivotal for the dispensation of Faith, and has been absolutely instrumental throughout Salvation History. The Church wrote the Holy Bible , as equal and part of Sacred Tradition, which both complete and make up Sacred Truths in regards to Christian Faith. Empires have risen and fallen, Emperors and Kings alike have risen to power and fallen in death, nations have risen to power and fallen, but the Roman Catholic Church has withstood all of the challenges She has faced. She continues to be a guiding light and the provider of Christian Truth and a light towards Salvation in Christ.

I am not afraid to call myself a Roman Catholic. And yes, many around the globe are not afraid to stand up for Her, and Protect Her.

God Bless the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Not even the gates of hell can overrun Her. Christ promises this so. :)

Jesus said to the first disciples, "Come, see for yourself."

The rest is history...

To those who heed the call, they left everything and followed Jesus... not just to the different towns and villages but followed him to the end. All of them eventually died for the faith that Jesus initially planted in them.

The rest is history... we learned in Scriptures that those who chose to stay in the dark, and missed out on the Lord's invitation, eventually were responsible, or were partly responsible, for his rejection and eventual death.

In short, there were those who heard the call and there were those who chose to continue their old ways. The faith is never forced on anyone. But to those who chose to "put on Christ" must "clothe themselves in Christ" (meaning, there are rules to follow and doctrines to adhere to). And that job was clearly given to Peter, the "rock" upon which He will build his Church, to the Apostles... and in turn to the Holy Mother Church, the dispenser of the mysteries of faith... without which I don't know what kind of chaos we would be in.

Was the Church perfect in its administration over the course of many centuries? No. Far from it. It a society composed of imperfect human beings. There were dark ages in Church history as well as renaissances, give and take. And yet, nothing can take the fact the our Church has the Apostolic succcession (tradition) that goes back the 12 and ultimately to the Lord himself. 

To this day, the offer still stands... pero wa jud na ipugos, whether you agree or not with the Church's stand on many issues affecting the lives of its members.

But if you claim to be a Catholic, it's not a matter off democracy, or, what they call nowadays as Christian consumerism (kamoy magbuot kung unsay inyong tohoan o dili). The Church always stands for what is right and what she believes as Christ-like. Nothing more. Nothing less.

In short, kung ang usa ka tawo wa mooyon sa barogana sa Simbahang Katoliko, pwede man adto mo join sa TBN (Tagbilaran By Night) kay didto pwede magsigeg lalis... pwede pa mo join kay kamolo pag silag lalis hehehe.

I would prefer a person with great wisdom than an academician. My housekeeper has only reached elementary but she is full of wisdom, I always seek her advice.

I agree completely.

My beloved grandfather (Lolo Ciano) is wiser than my medical professors. Lolo never graduated high school because of his responsibilities to his parents and siblings, has provided for his own wife and children. He worked all his life and sent his children to college and beyond. He seldom talks bullshittt, because all of the things that comes out of his mouth has weighted substance. When he speaks, he speaks. Dili bugal-bugalon, dili buangon, dili disrespectful.

His wisdom comes from his closeness to God, and from experiences, and the wisdom that comes with the grace of age.

yes, faith is essential. but we cannot equate the faith on the the person we really see and we really trust. the "faith in god" is another story....

Let me ask you a question, how do I know that you are a compassionate, intelligent, law-abiding citizen?

I really don't do I?

I cannot see compassion, I cannot see intelligence, nor law abiding nature (these are not physical entities, but concepts that describes a character about you, or so I hope).

But, I have Faith that you do. The likeness in that said processes applies to the Christian notion of Faith in Christ.

This verse holds Truth,
2 Corinthians 4:18,
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Hebrews 11:1,
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see

i read it once but there are certainly plenty of questions that cannot be answered. one thing that really bugs me is if he is truly a loving god, why did he still use his "son" to bridge and forgive our sins? why did he not just make it magically disappear or forgive if he is all that powerful?

these are just some little things that needed to be answered but it's also trivial that most people don't even bother to ask.

A very good question.

This goes in line with the Divine Writ of Selfless Love. God created man to be evident, and given free will. It is man's own will to war with God or to come to His bosom. After Adam & Eve's fall from Grace, man was at odds with God. It was not until the coming of Christ, were He literally died for the sins of Man. You see, God required retribution , His Law required this, and thus before Christ's coming, the gates of Heaven were closed.

It was only after Christ's selfless death on the Cross, which iluminated the Magnanimity of God's Love, that He would die for us, that salvation was possible.

well, if that's what people find strength to have a god, then i respect that. we all have the feedom of choice and freedom to believe and freewill.

it's in human nature to find somebody more superior to guide them like president, leaders, mayors and for the most superior one, is "god"

Yes, of course. We need to find the dichotomy between Religion and Faith. I think that the discord happens when one intertwines religion with the other.

Think of it as religion as a process, the pathway, so to say, a guide to an intended goal. Faith, is the blessing and the rich gift, unfathomable and beyond comparison in all materialistic things. Faith is the source, the wellspring that connects the finite to the infinite. The finite being perishable man. The infinite being the Loving Eternal God.

All of us have the right to believe in what we want (or not believe).

But there is beauty in Faith. Faith is essential in all things. Just as how a husband has faith in his wife (and vice versa). Just as how a child has faith that his mother and father will always help him and be there for him. It is the same as how a Christian (Catholic or non-catholic) has faith in the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ....

truth is lighted on faith - that's the term that just believe and don't ask or no question as long as you believe even if there are conflicts.

we know darn well that there are plenty of flaws in the bible. for instance, that the earth is just a mere hundreds of thousand years old but the science dated it as millions of years old. bible says that it's a sin to eat shellfish, but why do we have shellfish and still eat them. the old testament legalizes the stoning to death and it was restated in new testament that those who don't have sins can cast the first stone. these are just a few that i can remember but certainly there are more. I am not a bible reader but certainly i have my own thinking to think what is right and what is wrong (f0r me) and I am not pushing it to have everyone believe what i believe.

The Holy Bible was written by men that were of faith, and we refer to them, and its writings in scriptural symbolism.

My friend, you have very good points, and your questions can be answered quite easily by reading the Bible from cover to cover.
In regards to shellfish, that is seen in chapter 18 of Leviticus, in the Old Testament (prior to Christ's coming), and this was overturned later in the new testament when Christ said:

Quote14Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15Nothing outside a man can make him 'unclean' by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that makes him 'unclean.' "

17After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18"Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? 19For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")
-Mark 7:14-18


In regards to the 'Casting of the Stone', this refers to Christ's interjection of the would-be stoners of Mary of Magdalene. In doing so, Christ tells us that none is righteous or free of sin (Romans 3:23 clarifies this). Jesus Christ, in doing this, told the pharisees, Sadducees and all jewish men at the time that God is the judge of all things. Christ makes this so when he asked Mary Magdalene, "Where are your accusers?" And when Mary Magdalene looked back, all of them walked away, humbled by Christ's Truth.

Understanding the Bible requires reading it from cover to cover, and not judging it, because, likewise, most of your uncertainties and questions will be answered when accomplishing it.

well, i know a lot of people are brainwashed by the church by giving them false hopes. there are plenty of conflicts within the bible. but we are being threatened that if we will question the integrity of the bible, we go to eternal damnation. who will not get scared of that?

the church cannot prove most, if not some, that is written in the bible, that's why they force to introduce to us what we call "faith" - just accept it as it is and no questions.

science has been in conflict with the findings and in constantly in conflict with the church. but science is in conflict with one another due to the new facts, new findings and new technology that they keep on rebutting their own conclusion. and this is one major basis of the church to deny the science' claim on how the universe was created.

There are no such things as false hopes in the Church. Truth is lighted in Faith. To be able to discern accordingly.

I am a scientist/medical intern, and know that science itself is not full proof or 'unchallengable'. In fact, science is filled with errors. It is part of the transgression/progression methodology in data analysis if we refer to the process of Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Scientific Protocol.

and the church itself cannot address its internal problem. why show off that they can solve every one's problem if they themselves cannot resolve the internal problem that's been going on for ages - as what the funny saying says "it's difficult to solve/face the problem if the problem is your face."

the church should fix it's own dilemma first before solving other's problem.


All Mankind is faulted to sin, and will always err. Romans 3:23 dictates this. However, it is through Grace of God that makes what is imperfect, Perfect.

And it is the Grace of God that has been placed on the Holy Roman Catholic Church to Spread the Gospel of Christ. Since the days of Pentecost over 2000 years ago. And this will not change until the 2nd coming of the Lord.

that's the fact tho that building a church, no matter if it's catholic, protestants, it's the easiest way of making money. and it's a world wide fact that roman catholic church is the richest church in the entire world. just take a look at the luxury of how the pope is treated.

The Holy Roman Catholic Church is The Church. It has over 1.1 billion adherents and its improtance in spreading the Word of God is pivotal, whose main goal is for the Salvation of those whom believe. Financial aspects will be always there, as any programs will cost money, and thus The Holy Mother the Church needs to pay them. It is through the goodness of the faithful who give, and have been giving for the continuation of the spreading of the Gospel and the dispensation of Church activities.

Catholics, despite their location and their position, are The Church.

The Pope, as the Vicar of Christ, if we refer to the Doctrine of Apostolic Tradition, is the Living, Breathing Representative of Chirst on Earth. We revere him as Christ's Vicar. He carries himself accordingly and in authority.

baptism and other sacrilege are becoming a business. if the church really want to give it to the people, why not just give it for free and not with fee?



Baptism has been the core of Catholic Teaching. It is the foundation of entrance into Christian Life. Child Baptism , a Sacred Act, introduces the child to the Catholic Church, and prepares them for their Holy Communion, and ultimately prepares them as Catechumens, who eventually receive Grace during Holy Confirmation.

The form of financial payment to the church for special masses goes for the provision of the functional duties of the church, and ultimately, is important for the dispensation of the Word of God.

Grace is given to those who are happy givers, whom God showers abundantly a thousand fold.

religion is the easiest and fastest way to find money - (1) people believe in church, (2) church don't pay taxes (3) people give money to church, etc. there are many example why building a church is good business. just take a look or search on the net the history of the mega churches in the US on how they first started. if the church is truly there to help people, most, if not all, of the church founders of the mega church in US got luxurious cars than their patrons. Isn't that ironic and hypocritical? 

These are not Catholics, but large evangelical denominational protestant churches. These ministers are not celibate priests and nuns who pledge a life of penance, celibacy, and chastity to the Holy Church.

Through all my life, the priests that I have known here in the US drive very old cars, many of whom don't even have cars, but are given transportation by the faithful or take public transportation.

Ang simbahang Katoliko is not really against family planting i mean ( planning ) what they want lang is Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an umbrella term for various forms of birth control that do not involve any hormones or physical barriers to prevent pregnancy, but instead rely on periods of abstinence during a woman's menstrual cycle. Popular forms of NFP include the rhythm method, basal body temperature charting and the Standard Days Method.

Brown,

NFPs are effective almost every-time when used appropriately.

And to add to what Raquel, Isles and the rest have said, the Roman Catholic Church is not against family planning, it is against unnatural contraceptives. Life, in essence, is holy and important, in regards to Catholic Theology and Ecclesiastic Teachings. All human life is precious and holy, and this is not prejudiced only for Catholics, but all human life.

The Catholic Church has over 1.1 billion adherents. She administers the Living Word to the faithful on daily mass, pardons the sinners before death, spreads the Holy Gospel of Christ to all the world, upholds and funds the thousands of missionary programs around the world, educates the thousands of seminarians and other holy religious life around the world. She dispenses food and aid to those that are in need when in capacity to do so. Most importantly she offers requiem masses on daily basis, provides masses for the holy souls in purgatory, to which, no amount of money can compare to.

No, the Philippine Catholic Church is not against Family Planning. The Catholic Church is promoting the Natural Family Planning. I said no because I am one of the lecturers about Natural Family Planning in our Parish.

Actually, not only the Catholic Church is against the artificial family planning but all other Christian Communities.

hehe, I've done all except 26 because I don't smoke, nor do I do drugs. I only drink wine on special occasions (parties, or to enjoy it with good company).

I do frequent wine & piano bars with my dates in the past, and with my current gf. The ambiance and atmosphere sets the mood, conversation-wise.

Ray, and Father,

I recommend to you both this one good restaurant by the pantalan in Maribojoc. It is called 'AUP AUP'.

Their fish tinola and sinugbang isda is amazing. Fresh seaweed salad and fresh kinilaw.

The sunset was also amazing to see, as we dined.
