The Clueless Shepherd

I enjoy reading the blog of Uniffors-Life in Gloria’s Enchanted Kingdom so much. I specially love reading the articles of one of its eloquent and witty authors, Mr. Manuel Buencamino, because I believe his posts mirror the abhorrence and rage the majority have for this woman who can lie with a straight face (may kasama pang righteous indignation!). In today’s article (April 11), he posted the email of a certain Fr. Roy Cimagala. Here it is:

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;

What Were They Thinking?

“CBCP asks GMA to take lead in combatting corruption,” I got this headline from the Inquirer website.

Yeah right, ask the “luckiest evil bitch” to put herself and her greedy cohorts in jail. Hello…Your Eminences, have your brains been pulverized by the constant bombardment of cash donations (taxpayers’ money yun di ba?) you receive from Malacanang? Where is your outrage or have you been so neutered that you allow yourselves to be made fools of? Are you all so blind that you cannot see that the devil-woman is in the middle of all the corruption in government today?

Pathetic

I do not claim to be a devout Catholic nor do I profess to be an expert on the Scriptures or the teachings of the Church but really the pronouncements of some of our Church leaders are not only disappointing…they’re downright disgusting!

When a Bishop Emeritus says that the election cheating issue against a certain “intelligent lesser evil” is not a big deal since everyone in politics cheat, is the Church saying that sinning can already be rationalized?

When a deceased Cardinal on the issue of accepting PAGCOR money says that it does not matter if monetary donations come from the devil himself as long as it is put to good use, is the Church saying that the end justifies the means?

When a group of bishops accepts white envelopes containing money in the guise of donations for community projects knowing fully well that the money came from the office of the “intelligent lesser evil” who had a vested interest in the pastoral letter they are about to issue, is the Church saying that feeding the hungry is more vital than the cleansing of the soul?

When the Bishop of the Archdiocese of Manila says that people should just move on…not be so fixated on exacting accountability and should not expect closure in the graft and corruption issues against the “intelligent lesser evil” and her minions, is the Church saying that the law of man can be disregarded since justice is not for the living but only for the after life?

Now they wonder why the Filipinos remain indifferent amidst the evils in government…they ask why the faithful are not appalled any longer by alleged charges of bribery, graft and corruption committed by our government officials…they assail our apathy!

WEYT A MINIT KAPENG MAINIT…

Pardon me, YOUR EMINENCES, but shouldn’t it be us, the faithful, who should ask you why this is so or better yet it is you who should ask yourselves where you went wrong?
