Typical Filipinos‚ including Roman Catholic’s‚ would spend their Holy Week vacationing‚ frolicking and resting from the hustle and bustle of our frantic city life. I don’t see it as a bad thing for I am not a Catholic myself. I read the papers during the Holy Week and read the opinions of the Priests of the Catholic Church saying that

My role as an American Catholic is to do as much as I possibly can for my country‚ spread my Catholic morals and God’s love through the good deeds I do for others in my community‚ and promote justice. Justice is giving people what they rightfully deserve. This is done through the good‚ selfless acts that we commit. My role is the same as millions of

What is the “best kept secret” of the church? Why? According to the clip‚ the “best kept secret” of the church is the Church’s Catholic Social Teachings. It is God’s special love for the poor and called God’s people to a covenant of love and justice. I think it is the best kept secret of the church because the church has helped the poor in many ways and because of authoritative statements—whether from church or government—have less attraction today than acts of authentic witness. Also is it will also

I suddenly remembered one of the discussions in my ecclesiology class regarding the need of the Catholic Church for more bishops‚ priests and pastoral leaders. My professor‚ Fr. Vic de Jesus‚ SJ‚ mentioned that in the case of the Society of Jesus‚ as it celebrates its 150 years in the country‚ the infirmaries are being occupied more by the aging members of the society. He stated that there is a great need to replace them by looking for new priestly vocations. He also used as an example the case of

He believed that it’s important to help those who cannot help themselves‚ so he began the foundation that we all know as Caritas today.

In this case Galileo violated the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching the heliocentric theory. According to the church these theory’s by Galileo was trying to prove the bible false. The stronger side is Galileo’s side. In my opinion I would pick Galileo’s argument over the church because he tried to explain to the church his findings.
