not to mention that poverty brings people “closer” to God.

The priest is actually right there. Statistics show the more educated and the more prosperous people are, the less likely are they to be religious.

Jesuit thinkers warn 'theological bullying' driving away Catholics

"The Catholic Church is in trouble – even in Catholic Philippines," Ateneo de Davao University president Fr. Joel Tabora, S.J. pronounced in a blog post last Thursday. "There ought to be great concern. People have been leaving the Catholic Church. People are about to leave the Church. What I am picking up is exasperation... People are tired of being treated as if they were younger than adolescents, of being scolded... People are tired of obstinate claims to absolute truth, when the thinking world continues to seek truth.

I was born and raised as Catholic from a religious oriented family but I have lost respect to many, many (not all) Catholic bishops, priests and nuns a long time ago. Lot's of hypocrisy, irony and "politics" in the Catholic Church.

Bishops accept Catholic vote not yet at its full strength in elections
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/409265/bishops-accept-catholic-vote-not-yet-at-its-full-strength-in-elections

Just checked the Bacolod city area, originator of the "Team Buhay/Team Patay" campaign:



"Team Buhay" endorsed candidates such as Binay(13th), Ejercito(14th), Honasan (17th) M. Magsaysay(21st) actually ranked lower in Bacolod compared to their national ranking.

On the other hand, candidates labeled as members of "Team Patay" -- Angara(2nd), Cayetano(3rd) and Hontiveros(12th), ranked higher than their national ranking.

Socrates Villegas is the new president of the CBCP.

Facebook comments:

-  Bishops, Priests...etc. Why mention TAXPAYERS when you're not part of us? Thank you and God bless.

- not paying tax is corruption

- When it pays medical bills for unwanted pregnancies it can open its mouth. When it pays taxes it can complain about government expenditure. When it sides with the poor against the abusive elite it can claim the upper ground. When defrocks smuggler priests it can complain about corruption.

Can the CBCP be more "popish" than the Pope?

Pope Francis: Gays, Abortion Too Much Of Catholic Church's Obsession

Pope Francis faulted the Roman Catholic church for focusing too much on gays, abortion and contraception, saying the church has become "obsessed" with those issues to the detriment of its larger mission to be "home for all," according to an extensive new interview published Thursday.

The church can share its views on homosexuality, abortion and other issues, but should not "interfere spiritually" with the lives of gays and lesbians, the pope added in the interview, which was published in La Civilta Cattolica, a Rome-based Jesuit journal.

“We have to find a new balance, otherwise even the moral edifice of the church is likely to fall like a house of cards, losing the freshness and fragrance of the Gospel," Francis said in the interview.

"The church has sometimes locked itself up in small things, in small-minded rules,' Francis said. "The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials."

The 12,000-word interview ranges widely, touching upon the pope's personal faith, the role of women and nuns in the church, Latin Mass and even the pope's favorite artists.

To give another perspective. The CHURCH accepts donations.... so if you are the person who will donate. Is it okay for you to be asked.... where did the source of your donation come from? Is it through your own efforts or through corrupt means?   I am not making any judgement calls. but a donor in this case money or goods are assumed to be given by a good natured person who likes to help. If the intention of that person is good or not then it is only within him/her that will be the truth. Now if the one who accepts the donation uses it for good purposes as intended to be.. then what is wrong with that?

Something worth learning and sharing. It's about a recent development in Utah.

"What irks Mormons, evangelicals, and any religious group seeking to force their dogmata and beliefs on the people is that despite their machinations, the bible is not, and never will be, the Constitution and America’s justice system is not about to let it be."

Philippines telcos sue church ISP for fraud
Friday 31 May 2002 10:30

Telecommunication companies are poised to take the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) to court for large scale fraud following the failure of its Church-run Internet service provider, CBCPNet.

The 500m peso (£6.8m) class suit against the influential bishops' group is being brought by a group of CBCPNet suppliers and creditors, including the Philippine Communication Satellite Corporation (Philcomsat), Bayantel, and the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).

CBCPNet closed down this year after only two years of operation, with losses reportedly running to 190m pesos. Local mailing lists were rife with stories of shady deals but these could not be substantiated.

Established in 2000 as an alternative to commercial ISPs, CBCPNet was supposed to serve as the Church's watchdog against online pornography, safeguarding children and other users by using filtering software.  The ISP employed monitoring personnel on 24-hour shifts to check new pornographic Web sites to update its lists.  It acquired satellite dishes from Philcomsat as well as a number of Hewlett-Packard servers and had also received around 200 ISDN and 80 leased lines from both Bayantel and the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).

In an interview with Computerworld Philippines before CBCPNet closed down, Monsignor Pedro Quitorio III, assistant secretary general of the company, talked about the group's grand plans for the CBCPNet.

Quitorio said the CBCP planned to build a backbone for each of the country's 79 dioceses to expand the ISP's reach nationwide, provide Internet access to the poor and efficiently network its disaster response in calamity areas.

The group also wanted to load the ISP's servers with farming technology and information on livelihood projects that could be accessed by families in remote areas, said Quitorio. It planned to develop Internet cards, e-mail, Web hosting and Web designing services as well.

It also hoped to build 1,400 Internet centres nationwide via parishes and Catholic schools across the Phillipines as well as expand its network to unserved areas like Bicol, eastern Visayas and eastern Mindanao.

By April 2001 CBCPNet had entered into an agreement with Microsoft Philippines to roll out technology training and certification programs for the parishes and Catholic schools through implementations of Microsoft's software and volume licensing program for the ISP.

However the scale of the plans demanded substantial investment and after two years all funds had been spent.

Telecom companies accuse the CBCP of convincing its creditors and suppliers such as Philcomsat, Globe Telecoms, PLDT and Bayantel to put in 327m pesos worth of equipment and services to CBCPNet. The companies say that CBCP underwrote all deals with CBCPNet and is now refusing to honour them.
