Roman Catholic Church which introduced by the Spaniards to the Philippines exercised the 2 faces of evil and good from the beginning of its existence in the Philippines. The Roman Catholic churches during the Spanish times are already corrupt and wicked but they have two faces to allure the people by preaching the word God and by asking payment for their services "Tax free".
The recent scandal of the Roman Catholic Church is a wakeup call to their members that even priest which they considered as clean, pure and even respected next to God is dirtier and sinner than the ordinary followers. The priest is preaching good news but behind the scene, they are pedophiles, corrupt and evil. It has been also observed by many members and followers of the church that during the humily; the decision and ideas of the priest is not fixed and easy to change when money and politics will intervene. The stands of the Catholic Church are shameful and unworthy for praises and consideration.
Roman Catholic members divided many times as other believers followed the right path while other priest is doing the wickedness. During the time of the Philippine National Hero Jose Rizal, he is already opposed of the sinful act of the priest as of being liar which mentioned in the Noli me Tangere "the Padre Damaso".
The history of Aglipay church or the Philippine Independent Church (Iglesia Filipina Independiente) separated from the Roman Catholic is because of the Padre Damaso Issues. Before the official founding of the Philippine Independent Church, Jose Rizal is already the first member and follower of the independent movement church that triggered the patriotisms of the early Filipinos against the Spaniards.
The History repeats itself – Padre Damaso comes Alive in the Roman Catholic Church.
Roman Catholic Church leaders in the Philippines apologized (July 11, 2011) to their followers for a scandal involving of illegal pork barrel to the Roman Catholic bishops in return for a political favor to the administration of Gloria Arroyo. The Roman Catholic bishops accept the illegal fund from the former president in return of a political favor amidst its trial for corruption and election fraud.
Philippine lawmakers began investigating allegations last since first week of July that the government's lotto operator made illegal donations in exchange for political favors from influential church leaders friendly to ex-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
A pastoral letter issued by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines assured followers that the bishops concerned "are ready to accept responsibility for their actions and to face the consequences if it would be proven unlawful, anomalous and unconstitutional."
The statement issued at the end of the bishops' biannual assembly also said the CBCP would "re-examine the manner of our collaboration with government agencies for purposes of helping the poor, making sure that pastoral sensibilities are respected and the highest ethical standards are observed."
The chairman of the state-run Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Margie Juico, told senators last week that an audit showed that at least 6.9 million pesos ($158,600) in charity funds were used to buy five vehicles upon the request of several bishops.
Juico said one bishop asked Arroyo for a brand new car on his 66th birthday in 2009 and received a sports utility vehicle worth 1.7 million pesos ($39,000).
Such donations would violate a law prohibiting the use of state funds for religious purposes.
The lotto operator raises funds for health care and other social services. The agency routinely donates ambulances to poor municipalities around the country.
"We are sorry for the pain and the sadness that these events have brought upon you," said the pastoral statement read at a news conference Monday by Bishop Nereo Odchimar, the CBCP president.
The statement added that bishops received the donations without malice and out of their sincere desire to help the people. They failed to consider the "pitfalls to which these grants could possibly lead them," it said.
The statement said the bishops have expressed their readiness to do everything necessary to heal the wound caused by the controversy.
The CBCP is collegial body of bishops that formulates joint pastoral policies and programs.
Arroyo, who rarely directly responds to allegations against her, was elected a member of the House of Representatives after she stepped down last year. She was traveling out of the country and her spokeswoman made no comment.
I stopped going to Church..
What is the sense of listening to evil preacher..
I will convert to Born Again Christian as they are righteous than the Roman Catholic pedophile priest. They are preaching for dirty flesh and money.. they are evil
Ayuko na maniwala sa mga pari na yan..
Dapat sa unfair treatment ng government mag protest na rin other religions.. pera ng bayan pinag usapan dito eh.. di na nga nag bayad ng buwis ang simbahan, nakakataggap pa ng pork..
whatta shame! nakakahiya kayo mga obispo... mga corrupt then kayo.. mapag kanulo pa kayo mga DAMASO
IT IS IN THE FILIPINO CULTURE TO BELIEVE IN GOD – SO LETS NOT SEE THE MISTAKE OF 1 GROUP FOR US TO FORGET THE ALMIGHTY FATHER IN HEAVEN.
If the Roman Catholic Bishops are hypocrites and committed SIN, please bear in mind they are human too; Like us, like you and they are even more sinner than other Roman Catholic Followers.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE TO GO TO CHURCH ANY MORE; THEN IT IS WRONG.
Roman Catholic Church is not the only Religion in the PHILIPPINES. You could Visit the PHILIPPINES’ INDEPENDENT CHURCH / IGLESIA FILIPINIA INDEPENDIENTE. They have almost the same prayer with Roman Catholic Church. The on difference is they will confess their sin directly to God not to the Priest. Philippines’ Independent Church is The Church that protest the Roman Catholicsms’ PADRE DAMASO which even mentioned by the NOLI ME TANGERE of JOSE RIZAL. Before the Official Founding of AGLIPAYANS OR the Philippines’s Independent Church; Rizal is already a member of that church. BUT WE could not say also that THEY are perfect because their Priests are just the same with Roman Catholic Church. They are Human and might subject for temptation and mistake but at least they don’t have record yet.
OR the IGLESIA NI CRISTO.. which was founded in the Philippines Almost the same time of the founding of the PHILIPPINES’ INDEPENDENT CHURCH.. All churches are the same.. PREaching GOD’s word..
Or if you want to Join Born Again Churches like Jericho Rosales and many Other Celebrities who were converting themselves in to Born Again Christian then Go… Its your choice..
Just never forget… WE HAVE GOD. The Philippines is a Nation under God.. Don’t stop believing in HIM. HE is our only Savoir. When the Calamity will come, Only GOD is our Protector. If there is No God’s Protection for the PHILIPPINEs, then its been a long time that these ISLANDS vanished for So many Earthquakes, Floods and Typhoons..
GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES
Roman Catholicism nagpapagulo ng bansa natin since inintroduce ng Spain. Roman Catholism = Corruption, evil, etc in disguise. If you know the truth being taught in the Bible marami silang tinuturong nag cocontradict sa Bible. Puro pagan symbols pa makikita mo sa simbahan at sa Vatican.
I am not a member of the Roman Catholic. I am a member of Philippines Independent Church (Protestant) a Filipino National Religion.
I disagree with you about saying Roman Catholic nagpapagulo ng ating bansa... Hindi totoo yan.. kahit may punto ka pero huwag mo tumbukin ang kanilang relihiyon..
Ang dahilan ng pag papagulo ay ang pag bibigay ng boses ng Roman Catholic na mangingialam sa Government pagkatapos yun hihingi na ng suhol para hindi sila mangugulo.
Dapat kasi indpendent ang government at huwag paki alaman ng katoliko...
Kahit saan relihiyon may korapsyon sa hirap ba naman ng buhay sa pinas pero alam nyo namang mali, bakit pa gagawin kung totoo kayong naniniwala sa Dios.. diba?
di lahat ng pari sa katoliko ay masama. wag nyo lahatin. i-pinpoint mo kung sinu-sino mga yun at para patalsikin sa catholicism. sila ang panggulo sa catholic hindi ang catholic religion itself. kung perpekto ka, wala kang bahid ng kasalanan sige ipukol mo sila ng bato. batuhin mo sila. lahat ng tao nagkakasala even the priests, pastors, etc. meron ngang pastor nang-rape ng minor na edad. merong iglesia nagbebenta ng shabu at meron ding hurado na nagnakaw sa kaban ng ating bansa. ung pinakapinuno ng isang religion e ung kabataan pa nya a nagnakaw ng itek ng kapitbahay bago nya naitatag ang religion na yon. walang perpekto dito. nasasakupan tayo ng relihiyon ay sila ang gabay para maging matuwid manlang tayo kahit papano. kung isa ka ng matuwid na tao sige ipukol mo sila ng bato. tang-ina mo
ung nagsulat ng article na ito. perpekto ka na ba? dapat pinagdasal mo sila na maging maayos at matuwid bago mo ito sinulat. Isa ka na bang matuwid? sige ipukol mo sila ng bato kung wala kang mga kasalanan. lahat ng mali ay pwedeng tuwirin. di ung manghuhusga at manghahamak ka. kung ano ang di mo gusto ay wag gawin sa iba, kung ano iyong inutang ay sya rin kabayaran at bago mo bago mo linisin ang dungis ng 'yong kapwa hugasan ang 'yong putik sa mukha
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. - Galatians 5:22-6:5

To the writer(s) of this one, here's for you;
Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor? - James 4:11-12
Behold! Not because some committed a sin, you're going to judge as a whole. It's not just about what your religion is. It's more on your FAITH and WHO YOU ARE! What's the sense of being a follower of Aglipay, Iglesia, Born again Christian, Catholic or whatsoever if you'll not going to live according to the will of God. EVERYONE COMMIT MISTAKES. DON'T ACT AS IF YOU'RE CLEAN. AND GOD KNOWS HOW TO FORGIVE. If your not Catholic, then go! Don't judge the priests who committed mistakes, because I believe - EVEN YOU OR THE PEOPLE YOU'RE FOLLOWING COMMIT MISTAKES IN YOUR DAILY LIFE.
This article is no good to the readers. ZERO KNOWLEDGE.
sabi ng Biblia darating ang panahon na ang mga nag bibingi bingihan ay tuluyang maging bingi at ang nag bulag bulagan ay tuluyang maging Bulag..

Lahat ng religion ay may mga demonyong nakadamit tupa...akala nyo ba religion nyo perfecto? Hala sige nga tanungin mo sarili mo kong di ka rin makasalanan? Pasalamat parin ako na nakarating ang kastila sa atin at ipinaalam nila kong sino si Cristo though ginamit nila sa mali ang katutuhanan na yon...pero still a lot ay nakilala ang panginoon...

ROMAN CATHOLIC is a "T R U E R E L E G I O N NOR K I N G D O M" and a universal religion/kingdom
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 7:21

Allahu akbar !! Catholic PRiests and Bishops in the Philippines are hypocrites.
Catholism is of the devil,pinoys will have not a hope in hell to fight China if it is dominated by idol and satanic worshippers disguised as Christians...
China kicked out the Catholics in the past for its devilish activities,filipines should do the same.no?
Is idol worshipping too romantic and nostalgic to give up?
Then only a wake up call of massive proportions will make pinoys realize the evil of RC!
i am a born again Christian and it is so sad to say that, i am a catholic in my past but converted by God's Grace,,,, letx fix our eyes on JEsus////// A man is made not to make a religion but a relationship with GOd only... if you want a relationship with God I prescribe not in Catholic Church, .... I've been there na kasi,,,
Sana naman po respeto lang po sa religion namin. Hindi naman po lahat ng Roman Catholic priest ay corrupt at makaslanan, although inaamin po namin na meron po talagang nag-eexist na mga ganung pari. Pero po kahit ganun po, meron pa rin naman pong mga matitinong pari na handang magsakripisyo para sa aming pinaka-iingatang Catholic Faith. And sana naman po onting respeto lang po sa Pope namin po, kasi po siya po yung inappoint ni Jesus Christ dito po sa Earth para po maging visible head ng Church niya po. And yung Pope rin po yung kaisa isang successor of St. Peter. Alam po naming mga Katoliko na marami pong nangyayaring korupsyon sa simbahan, pero po alam po naming pagsubok lng po yun para po malamn ng Diyos kung gaano po kami katatag na mga Catholics. Kaya po respeto na lng po sa religion namin kasi po nirerespeto namin po ang religion nyo. So parang unfair naman pag di nyo po yan gagawin sa min po diba? Kayarespeto na lng po ang hinihingi namin po. Di po namin kasalanan ang di pag-unlad ng Pilipinas. So tulong tulong na lng po tayong mga Pilipino, Katoliko man o hindi para po umunlad ang ating bansa. Sana po gabayan po tayo ni God. Sana po magkaroon po ng katahimikan at pagkakaisa sa pagitan ng mga Katoliko at di Katoliko.
