      This country has been a catholic country for like 400 years. Was there even a Filipino pope? Does God think that we are inferior compared to people from Europe? I don't think so. Like any organization there is politics involved. Its about time for my people to have a FILIPINO POPE! This is one of the reasons why I am disgusted with the religion.

      I was baptized as a Catholic but I'm more of a theist. Catholics are all theist but not all theist are catholic. Theist is simply believing in one God, not so much on practices and religion. I simply believe in God and do good things. I think its about time we move away from a religion that discriminates our people and simply form a deep connection with God directly. In this way, the people won't interpret the words of "holy men" as the words of God (those stupid enough to believe everything anyway) and stop them from meddling in state affairs. Accept or deny it, our religion is one of the reasons why we are a third world country.

        How do you say so? ("Our religion is one of the reasons why we are a third world country")

        @Roent. Well the religion teaches us to be contented. While this is a good thing, this is usually misinterpreted. People accept reality as it is and stop trying to have a better life. They rely solely on prayers.
        Another concept, is blessed are the poor. Being poor while doing everything you is one thing, and being poor voluntarily is different. In relation to the concept above, people make it as an excuse. "Ok lang mahirap, blessed naman tau in the end"
        I don't believe in this kind of thinking. God made us to explore the things he created. He created us to LIVE and not simply survive. Life is not all about suffering, it should be an appreciation of everything around us and enriching our minds.

        God says,"PUT NO OTHER BEFORE ME"That includes religion;any man;especially one who claims he is the vicar of Christ.
        If it goes against the 10 commandments it is in fact against God.

        mas malaking halaga ang nakukuha ng simbahang katoliko sa mga pilipino. magaling lang sila magtago ng yaman kasi ilang percentage lang ng collection ang iniiwan dito sa pilipinas and the rest pinapadala sa vatican. Kung talagang sincere ang simbahang katoliko, tigilan nila ang pagpapadala ng mga offertory collection sa vatican at gamitin nalang para ipang tulong sa mga mahihirap. Maraming mahihirap na nakatira sa tabi ng mga simbahan, kailangan lang nila lumabas ng ilang steps para makita nila.

        I agree with you Rey Vinzon. totoo naman na mas matagal na ang simbahang katoliko kesa sa iba. kaya nga lang we must admit na napasok na ang simbahang katoliko ng mga di matuwid. wag nalang tayo papaapekto sa ibat bang relihiyon na meron na----on instead we should strengthen our faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

      kasi tapos na silang magsamba. only the catholic church offers an "eternal worship" to God for your information. why? because only this church offers the sacrifice of the mass from sunrise to sunrise. as one mass ends here another mass is started somewhere. round the clock mass is offered world wide for me and for YOU at that. Unlike other churches isang araw lang magsamba kahabaan tatlong oras pamimintas pa ang menu. sa catholic, jesus is served and you are blessed to be envited in His banquet.

      MATTHEW 23:8-10" But YOU, do not YOU be called Rabbi, for one is YOUR teacher, whereas all YOU are brothers. 9 Moreover, do not call anyone YOUR father on earth, for one is YOUR Father, the heavenly One. 10 Neither be called ‘leaders,’ for YOUR Leader is one, the Christ..

      dont be blind people. use your consciousness to know who are the good and evil. a follower of Christ should be a servant not to be served.

      Basbasan no po at sunugin nyo ang mga pulitiko dito sa pilipinas, sinapian po silang lahat nga mga demonyo.
    • Julius  •  1 year 0 months ago
      Ilang millions of pesos kaya nakukuha ng Vatican dito sa Pilipinas? Every sunday, ilang pilipino ang nagsisimba, about 6x ang misa sa bawat simbahan, ilang simbahan meron ang pilipinas? You do the math...Ang mga pilipino nag hihirap pero ang mga pari yumayaman, lalo na ang vatican. Tsk tsk tsk

      ang simbahang katoliko hindi namimilit na magbigay ka,kaya bawat taong nagoofer bukal sa loob yung ibinibigay...walang yumayaman na pari,actually,kulang nga sa suporta,lalo na yung mga misyonero,misyonera...napapadpad kung saan saan para lang ipamahagi ang salita na diyos...dapat nga obligahin natin sarili natin na tulungan sila para lalong dumami ang alagad ng Diyos...at ang katoliko numero unong matulungin....
    • kram  •  1 year 0 months ago
      religion has it's own politics and heirarchy na talaga... people make popes and people make them saints as well... let's face it, it has become more traditional by doing these things... yan siguro ang dahilan kung bakit sumasali na ang church sa government issues at ang government/politicians naman ay lumalapit sa church pag malapit na ang eleksyon....

      I was born as Catholic and I will die as Catholic.
      may kaniya-kanya po tayong pinaniniwalaan sana po irespeto natin ang bawat isa at dahil sa ginagawa niyong paninira pinapakita niyo ang tunay na kahulugan ng inyong relihiyon.
      God Bless us All.

      Acts 10:34-35
      And opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right, is welcome to Him.

      2 Corinthians 10:12-16
      For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding. But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you. For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ; not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we shall be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you, so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another.
