Mr. de Quiroz, let me just point out, is not a "Communist." But he can distinguish a good Christian like Pope Francis and Cardinal Tagle and a bad one like CBCP head SOCRATES VILLEGAS. Bishop Socrates Villegas, the "Neanderthal" head of the "Neanderthal" organization like the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, is seething with anger over a Rolling Stone magazine article supposedly praising Pope Francis, "at the expense of Pope Benedict." It is Catholic priests like Socrates Villegas who has given Christianity a very bad or smelly name! He is as conservative as it gets--Catholic dogma-ridden if you will--and is clearly one of those whom Pope Francis castigates as OBSESSING ON ABORTION, CONTRACEPTION AND GAY MARRIAGE. And he is probably one of those six Catholic bishops who had no problem contributing to CORRUPTION in the Philippines by asking the corrupt PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO for the SUV "Pajero," each costing several million pesos. One can only hope that when Pope Francis visits the Philippines, he will know how corrupt many Catholic priests and bishops are--and does the right thing by DEFROCKING ALL OF THEM WITHOUT MUCH ADO OR CEREMONY. Mariano Patalinjug MarPatalinjug@aol.com Dear Mar Patalinjug, If Pope francis eliminates by defrocking all the Catholic priests, nuns, bishops, cardinals out of business in the Philippines - I will reconsider being a member of the Catholic church once again. I MEAN IT! Poch Suzara, Atheist, ex-Catholic . . . Twitter# Facebook# Google#
