Catholic Church has billions invested in BPI, Philex, San Miguel

Just using my powers of observation, bro. For 15 years, I went to a Catholic School. Good school pero like most of those ran by RC, mahal ang tuition. Magsige sila pangayo og collection sa misa. Pa-guilt trip pa na nganong gamay ra ang ihatag. Di maayo ang maghubog2x. Heard that in countless sermons. When I packaged a loan for a diocese, I saw the many properties RC has in the balance sheets. Their houses (most) are opulent, they have many cars. I am not envious of their obvious richness, di man na nato madala. I am just disappointed that with their wealth they have not done more for the poor. They preached about kindness and generosity but somehow theirs is lacking.

With great powers comes great responsibility. In my mind, with their wealth, they could have more. Just disappointed, is all. Peace

kay daghan man pud gastuhan. huna-huna ninyo ang mga tao na sweldohan sa usa ka parokya includes: Office Staff, Kusinera, Labandera, Drivers, Janitors. Besides, nagabayad ang mga parokya ug kuryente, tubig pangpalit pa ug pagkaon. naa pa mga mga sholars na mga seminarians. peace

mao ni gi ingon ang mga kadagku-an sa gobyerno, militar ug sa mga simbahan ug kapari-an parehas ra ug taras sa ilang lifestyle

I understand.
The church, as an organization, may have lapses on how they manage its financials.

Pareha man sad tali na sa gov't. Nindot ug auto si Rama, pero daghan ug street children sa Hi-way.. Alangan man sad ug mag-jeep nalang si Rama, or mantinil nalang ug multicab.

If naay parish nga tan-aw nimo nag-waldas ug kwarta, why not ask the leaders kung asa padulong ang kwarta? Wala ta kibaw kung gikan ra diay to sa ilang family business ang gipalit niya ug sakyanan.

The church could be rich in terms of it's cultural heritage, artifacts, and they way they preserve such artworks.. Kanang makit-an ninyo nga gold plated stuffs, dili na personal belonging sa Pope or Cardinals.

As for helping the poor. No organization on this earth spends more on the poor than the Catholic Church..

First of all bai, Rama was already rich before he was a politician. This isn't a fair comparison. Secondly, unlike the priests bai we CAN throw Rama in jail for doing crazy sh*t with our money. However, you cannot punish religious individuals for hoarding their own cash. They can't even be punished for exploiting the tax exemption. Kinsay naay sayop diri? Syempre kita! Ang mga nanimba. If people weren't overly religious would churches thrive?

Sama bitaw sa akong gisulti gahapon. I'd rather that a politician steal my money than a priest. You can put a politician to jail for stealing money but you can NEVER throw the mastermind of a priest in jail. Mapriso nimo si Lord? Suwayi!

Exactly! since those money they took from us (tax) are intended for us. Not for their personal use.

When you give to the Church, it is a donation, not just for the beautification of the building, but for the Church worldwide. And most of it's fund goes to Charity. Now, if you think your money doesn't go there, then don't give!. Nobody is forcing you (unlike our gov't).

However, you cannot punish religious individuals for hoarding their own cash. They can't even be punished for exploiting the tax exemption. Kinsay naay sayop diri? Syempre kita! Ang mga nanimba. If people weren't overly religious would churches thrive?

Puro negative ra jud ang makit-an..
Mao nang ni-ingon ko pag-tukod nalang ug laing relihiyon, tan-awon nato kung dili ba ka mag-kinahanglan ug kwarta.

Taga-i ug parokya dinha beh nga klaro nag-waldas sa kwarta, kay magsulat ta didto sa office of the archbishop.

Dapat usa sa basolon ang mga parokyano kung nagpaka-buta-bungol lang nga naa diay anomaliya gi-buhat sa ilang parokya.

Dili neh pareha sa ubang Christian denomination bro, nga maningkamot modaghan ang membro, para daghan makolekta.

Sama bitaw sa akong gisulti gahapon. I'd rather that a politician steal my money than a priest. You can put a politician to jail for stealing money but you can NEVER throw the mastermind of a priest in jail. Mapriso nimo si Lord? Suwayi!

Again, dili neh pinugsanay. Pareha sa uban nga 10% jud kuhaon.
Dili ka mohatag, ayaw. Balhin ka sa laing relihiyon, balhin.. Dili ka i-judge nga ma-imperno na..

A classic example of this:

The Institute was involved in a major political and financial scandal in the 1980s, concerning the 1982 $3.5 billion collapse of Banco Ambrosiano, of which it was a major shareholder. The head of IOR from 1971 to 1989, Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, was under consideration for indictment in 1982 in Italy as an accessory of the bankruptcy; however, he was never brought to trial due to the Italian courts' ruling that the priest, being a high-ranking prelate of the Vatican, had diplomatic immunity from prosecution.

to be a PRIEST nowadays is an occupation not vocation anymore...

oc·cu·pa·tion [ok-yuh-pey-shuhn]
–noun
a person's usual or principal work or business, especially as a means of earning a living

vo·ca·tion [voh-key-shuhn]
–noun
a divine call to God's service or to the Christian life

sa katigulangan pa, nawala na gyud ang BOKASYON sa mga parionon karon tungod sa materyal nga panginahanglan... naa man gud sa simbahan ang kwarta karon...
