Cathedrals

I am told that cathedrals in the Philippines are monuments to architectural, engineering and artistic talents. I say hogwash. Cathedrals are monuments to human stupidity. Indeed, where are the public libraries build in every town in the Philippines as monuments to human intelligence? Where are the health clinics and hospitals build in every town in the Philippines as monuments to human decency? Where are the public toilet facilities build in every town in the Philippines as monuments to health and sanitation? Indeed, in this faith-soaked country, we have more impressive monuments to silly divinity; hardly have we also monuments to decent humanity. Poch Suzara
