What is Religiosity?

• …praying fervently and and asking for deliverance from evil?
• …hearing Mass every Sunday and on holidays of obligation?
• …donating generously to the Church?
• …forgiving sinners?

By following the above examples are we assured of a place in heaven? Can we now live based on the following principles?

• I may lie as long as I pray.
• I may cheat as long as I attend Mass.
• I may steal as long as I share the loot.
• I may escape accountability as long as I forgive sinners like me.

The Height of Hypocrisy

This is the title of the latest blog entry of Ms. Ellen Tordesillas, “Cebu Priests Barred From Celebrating ‘Mass For Truth’.“

Cardinal Vidal says that the Church should not get involved. Coming from him, I do not know whether to laugh or to cry. He asserts that Cebuanos do not need to hear Lozada because they already heard what he has to say. He asks why people regard Jun Lozada as a hero. Well who does he suggest we trust:

1. GMA who even the Church itself considers a thief but continues to project herself as the self-sacrificing and long-suffering leader who only has the interest of the Filipinos at heart;
2. GMA’s Cabinet who has woven a web of lies so complicated that even they themselves have been trapped in it;

Onli in Da Pilipins!

Some Do’s and A Don’t:

• When caught lying…blame God for the change of heart.
• When caught cheating…implore your friendly bishops to rationalize the sin.
• When caught stealing…send greedy husband into exile.
• When caught accepting bribe…bring down the “borjer” man.
• When caught giving out bribes…feign ignorance.
• When all else fail…make fertilizer out of your enemies.
• Just never resign!
