I DONT BELIEVE IN THEOCRACY.

IF PRIEST CHOOSE TO BE CELIBATE. IT IS THEIR
BUSINESS. IF THEY PROMOTE AGENDAS REGARDING
FAMILY VALUES. THAT IS THEIR BUSINESS ALSO.

IF THEIR AGENDA MAKES SENSE. THEN GO FOR IT.
IF IT WORKS GOOD FOR THE SOCIETY. THERE IS NOTHING
WRONG ABOUT IT. CELIBATE OR NOT.

The church should stop influencing the lives of the people. It is a concept of the person’s capacity to decide whatever which thing he or she must probably prefer. They must bear in mind that they are not the solution pertaining to the socio-economic problems of the country, Thus they are only entering into the scenario just to gain importance in the context of society as a visible institution…………
Filipino People wake up!!!! Are you not enough tired during the spanish regime, where the Friars were responsible of “oppressions” in the whole archipelago due to the concept of “Union of the Church & the State”. Sana naman kasi separate na ang function ng church at saka estado, naway matuto ang simbahang katoliko rumispito sa Estado ng Republika ng Pilipinas!!!!!!!!

The Church has what it calls “discernment”. In this matter, I fail to see the logic that instead of teaching the flock about taking responsibility for one’s family or one’s actions, the local church wastes time in “fighting laws” and minutia.

take sex between two consenting adults. to me that’s nobody’s business but those two. if the Church, and Society done their part in making the idea that the man be a man and stand up for the woman and their unborn child if they ever procreate, wouldn’t that be better?

Same goes for STDs, teenage pregnancies, etc.

Give people all the information then let ‘em decide on their own what they think is best.

two points:

1) free will and all you know?

2) arming people with the ability to think and decide and be responsible for consequences is so much better than saying, “this is wrong”.

It is quite apparrent to outsiders that the Catholic Church and religion in general has always been part of the problem in the Philippines. Not part of the solution.

Isipin sana ng mga congressman ang kapakanan ng nakararami at dapat naring mamulat ang simbahang katoliko, hindi dasal ang sagot sa maraming naghihirap na Pilipino.

Ikakampanya ko sa buong mundo ang sinumang politiko na papabor sa pagkontrol ng popolasyon sa Pilipinas.

We have been enslaved by “Padre Damaso” for so long. Enough is enough!!

The Catholic Church is always afraid of the slippery slope.
