The Archbishop of Manila

The Archbishop of Manila urged the faithful to pray for Filipino priests so that they may remain true to their vocation.
I ask: if God does not listen to the prayers of his priests, why should God listen to the prayers of those who are not priests? And to think that these religious cripples are suppose to be our spiritual guardians! Is this therefore a matter of: - ask not what God and his archbishop and priests can do for you; instead, ask what you can do for God and his archbishop and priests?
And to think that these are the same mental midgets who inspired the Filipino since the 16th century to believe that God will always provide!
In the meantime, may I suggest to you so-called religious leaders of this country please read Bishop John Shelby Spong’s - WHY CHRISTIANITY MUST CHANGE OR DIE: “Christian ethics are not found in a system of behavior control. They are rather found in a call to the fullness of life. The business of the church is, therefore, not to judge life, but to enhance consciousness, to expose ignorance and prejudice, and to remove the barriers to life in all of its fullness. The Church’s task is to assist its people in plumbing the depths of their own humanity, where transcendence, mystery, being, and even love are to discovered, and to bring qualities found in the center of life into the world."
