Christianity - A Failure as a Religion in the Philippines

October 22, 2012 Philippine Daily Inquirer Letter to the Editors Dear Editors, More than 1,000,000,000 ( Billion ) Filipinos have already lived and died ever since Christianity arrived in the Philippines in the 16th century. Thus far, Christianity has produced only two Filipino saints - St. Pedro Calungsod and St. San Lorenzo Ruiz. In view, however, of the historical fact that Christianity has produced far more unsaintly congressmen, unsaintly senators, unsaintly governors, unsaintly mayors, unsaintly chiefs of Police; unsaintly school teachers, unsaintly college professors; not to mention unsaintly priesthood industry - only proves that Christianity has been and still is a failure as a religion in the Philippines. Sincerely, Poch Suzara
