ang porgatoryo, wala sa bibliya kay dili makaluwas nato. ingon ka.

ayaw pamakak ha, namakak ka?

karon, mo-ingon na pud ka nga wala ka magsulti.

kanang demonyo, makaluwas na nato?

dili no? wala na sa bibliya?

ngutana lang.

sabat lng ko bai ha...

ang pasabot sguro ni madara is "mkaluwas ang bible pinaagi sa iyang pulong" (sayon ra na sabton)

tanan pulong sa bible is GOOD/makaluwas (no doubt)... nasayop ra ka ug sabot sa gi ingon ni madara nga ang tanan naa sa bible mka luwas... naa sd na sa bible ang demonyo pero, dli mn na pulong sa ginoo...
common sense lng na bai...

Be proud of being Catholic.

Why would newspapers carry on a vendetta on one of the most important institutions that we have today in the United States, namely the Catholic Church?

Do you know - the Catholic Church educates 2.6 million students everyday at the cost to your Church of 10 billion dollars, and a savings on the other hand to the American taxpayer of 18 billion dollars. Your graduates go on to graduate studies at the rate of 92%, all at a cost to you. To the rest of the Americans it’s free.

The Church has 230 colleges and universities in the U.S. with an enrollment of 700,000 students. The Catholic Church has a non-profit hospital system of 637 hospitals, which account for hospital treatment of 1 out of every 5 people - not just Catholics - in the United States today.

But the press is vindictive and trying to totally denigrate in every way the Catholic Church in this country. They have blamed the disease of pedophilia on the Catholic Church, which is as irresponsible as blaming adultery on the institution of marriage. Let me give you some figures that you as Catholics should know and remember. For example, 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact in a study by the United Methodist Church, 41.8 % of clergywomen reported unwanted sexual behavior; 17% of laywomen have been sexually harassed. Meanwhile, 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of pedophilia. 10% of the Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia.

This is not a Catholic Problem.

A study of American priests showed that most are happy in the priesthood and find it even better than they had expected, and that most, if given the choice, would choose to be priests again in face of all this obnoxious PR the church has been receiving. The Catholic Church is bleeding from self-inflicted wounds. The agony that Catholics have felt and suffered is not necessarily the fault of the Church. You have been hurt by a small number of wayward priests that have probably been totally weeded out by now.

Walk with your shoulders high and you head higher. Be a proud member of the most important non-governmental agency in the United States. Then remember what Jeremiah said: ‘Stand by the roads, and look and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is and walk in it, and find rest for your souls’. Be proud to speak up for your faith with pride and reverence and learn what your Church does for all other religions.

Be proud that you’re a Catholic.

we're proud..

[-shinobi-]

no im not proud. i regreted it rather.

i was saddened by the fact that many of our religious leaders were committing these acts when they should be the first to set good examples to the people, so they must observe decency in carrying out this mandate. But i believe, having a deep, personnal relationship with God can stop anyone from committing sin against God.
