Alleged Sodomy, Lies, Corruption and other Scandals in Simala Church Sibonga, Cebu

[fingolfin]

You're right bro, God is everywhere. But we visit those sacred places for the divine indulgences that we experience.

There's a difference that you feel when you prayed in your own room and in churches, and that something that we feel (indulgence) is what we're after, that's why we always visit these places...

.. i see. thanks for enlightening me. But, why didn't you question the way things are run in simala ?? When they started selling those religious stuff, why didn't you complain Their biggest scapegoat was, for the building and construction of the church. Damn, why make such a lavish church


.. and what are they planning to do with the 20 million in the bank and the whopping 30 million in their vault ?? And why the heck are they saving the money for They should have built an orphanage instead or a school. They should have used the money in more community oriented ways not saving it.

Naa man gud ang kwarta kung daghang tawo...

Because it's what really is happening and will always be... I agree with you when you said that "Religion is business". And I'm not the one who can make a change with regards to this business...

.. oh well, it goes to show that RELIGION IS THE BEST DAMN BUSINESS

i do agree on this one..

i guess...kung ni earn man sila ang amount, i guess ila man pud cguro ng gibalik sa simbahan,look at simala now, compared before, una sa simala small chapel ra jud ang giatopan was ang mama mary ra, then after pila ka years mura na sya ug palace..because sa mga donation sa mga tawo, proceeds sa candles, ug uban pang mga baligya sulod sa simala.

mag duda ta kung hangtud karun ang simala wala gyud ni nindot after all sa mga donations sa mga tawo..kana maoy korakot, pro makita man nimo ang transformation sa simala,

kung dagko ug donations ang mga tawo....wala tay mahimo ana..dili na issue, dili na negosyo kay kusang loob na nila gihatag ngadto kang mama mary dili para sa mga monghe...

ang candles, naay presyo...pro ok raman na oi...dili bya pud natagak sa langit ang materials sa kandila, and if unsa man ang halin ana...ila man pud ng pang gasto sa ilang utilities....

.. religion ( whatever religion it is ) is a good thing coz it unites people BUT, when it involves money, people should take a second look at their religion or their leaders and ASK, to why use religion to make money.


.. back to simala, they have two or three sets of candles. One is 5 pesos for not so big requests, 20 pesos for the super big requests. God has a price now ??

In the radio interview, he was asked why karon pa sya ni come out....

he replied that it was because of the legal action filed against him and that he was coerced to sign a document (content of the document was not explained).

Also, theres a local publication called "lungsoranon" distributed in the local populace which allegedly warns the residents of Bro. Pauls actions. This publication was allegedly signed by Vidal himself.

Based on this, I guess this legal action (exact legal basis wasnt made clear) was what caused him to come out... then ang media ra iyang madaganan.

Ang lawyer man kuno nga ni file ug legal action niya, the lawyer atong Fr. Martin happens to be the lawyer ni Vidal.

Please correct me if I am wrong on this... pero mao toy akong understanding sa radio interview.

mao diay ... so duna nay gihimo nga imbestigasyon ang arsidiyosesis sa sugbo! now, seryos siguro ang nahimo ani ni "bro paul" kay duna gud warning gikan sa cardinal! mo boomerang ra man ni ba niya ug siya maoy mangilad sa mga tawo sa iyang pagdaot sa mga monghe, ug sa pag gamit sa media! klaro unta iyang mga allegations, with evidence ug transparent siya, labi na sa hinungdan sa iyang pag biya didto ug sa content sa iyang gipirmahan nga affidavit .. ang nakafaet kay mas maminaw ta sa media kaysa mangutana sa kamatuoran!
