Black Nazareno Cloned, Goes To Mindanao

January 10th, 2009 by DJB

First let me say, I am glad to see that the religious impressarios organizing the annual Black Nazareno procession wisely decided to move its usually crowd-lethal starting point to the Luneta since fatalities and injuries had been multiplying in the last few years. On second thought, I detest the idea that they chose the Luneta. Methinks the Catholic Bishops and the Philippine Daily Innuendo were actually rubbing salt in the wounds of the Other Hero and Martyr there present. Frankly, if I were to succumb to the mortal sin of idolatry being urged on the masses, I would pick the German-made graven image in stone, not the Mexican Wooden Indio pretending to be the Son of God in Pinoy drag. But wait! Here is the latest contribution of the Catholic Taliban to the Mindanao Peace Process…Ngek!

The Roman Catholic Church of the Philippines has recently cloned the original and true miraculous wooden idol called the Black Nazarene of Quiapo–a kind of graven image of a graven image–and sent it off to Cagayan de Oro because “there are so many devotees there”. At a time when all-out war is being threatened if not quite carried out by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, honestly folks, how smart of an idea IS this??

Now what were we just talking about on Rizal Day?
As the Catholic Taliban Sing Hallelujah!
Fuego!
