Outrage over image of girl ‘crucified’ in shorts

According to a Spot.ph report, a photo of a woman in “skimpy shorts” posted on PinoyExchange.com (PEx) went “viral”. Presumably this is because of what can be construed to be the offensive nature of said woman’s pose. I noted, however, that the cited shorts did not really come up to scratch as far as my…

Filipino penitents crucified for real in observance of the Easter ‘Holy Week’ in the Philippines

Filipino penitents crucified for real in observance of the Easter ‘Holy Week’ in the Philippines

Wasn’t Saint Peter crucified head down because (as tradition tells us) he did not feel worthy to die like his Lord Jesus Christ? Apparently some don’t subscribe to that belief. Keeping to a renowned tradition of subjecting themselves to extreme self-flagellation, Filipino penitents have themselves crucified — for real — in Mining, Pampanga, Philippines. The…

Spiritual guidance from Hollywood fare this Holy Week

Spiritual guidance from Hollywood fare this Holy Week

Holy week does not have to be an excrutiating week spent on mind-dulling Catholic ritual and mindless beach partying. There is lots of home entertainment available that can contribute to enriching one’s spiritual framework far more efficiently and profoundly than the traditional listening to a bunch of men in robes or gyrating to loud throbbing…

How the Roman Catholic Church devalued Jesus Christ

The Lenten season is upon us, and it is time to reflect on the deep fundamentals that define our aspirations to be “good” Christians. Part of those fundamentals are principles ingrained in us since youth by an institution that presumes to speak on behalf of God and provide “moral leadership” to his “flock”. But there…

Saint Theresa versus the Facebook bikini photos

So the quaint row over the St. Theresa’s College (STC) High School students’ “lewd” bikini photos exhibited on their Facebook profiles has been settled for now after a bid by the school to ban these students from attending their graduation rites was ToRpedOed by a Cebu court. Just another day in Christianabad, where instances like…

The fires of hell – more fun in the Philippines

After Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago addressed the prosecution panel with her now infamous “gago” speech last week, the onion skins started flying. A few days after, Fr. Arevalo, spiritual adviser to the Aquinos, came out with a statement saying that by calling Aguirre a fool, through the use of gago, Senator Santiago is worthy of…

Actor Rachel Weisz is reportedly “deeply concerned” with poverty in the Philippines after presumably seeing — and experiencing — the renowned banal impoverishment that blankets much of the country. Weisz is currently in the Philippines for on-location shoots for the film Bourne Legacy together with co-stars Jeremy Renner and Edward Norton. In an interview with…

Pedro Calungsod – yet another Filipino saint Filipinos can look to for miracles

I read recently that we have another Filipino saint queued for canonisation by the Roman Catholic officialdom in the Vatican. Blessed Pedro Calungsod is a 17th Century Visayan martyr whose bid to be the second Filipino saint is “now a certainty” by virtue of a papal decree made last week according to an Inquirer.net report….
