Hymn to St. Lorenzo Ruiz

Below are the lyrics to the beautiful hymn composed by the Filipino Jesuits to honor the first Filipino saint, St. Lorenzo Ruiz, whose feast day we celebrate today.

We love this hymn, but sadly there is a line here that is plainly wrong.

Can you identify which line it is and tell us why it is wrong?


****

Sanlibo man aking buhay
Bawat isa’y iaalay
Sa Diyos, sa bayan kong mahal
Sasanggalang iyong dangal.

Isugo mo kahit saan
Hamakin man ako’t saktan
dalangain ko’y maging tapat
Pag ibig mo’y sasapat

CHORUS
Sanlibo man aking buhay
Sanlibo ring iaalay
 Sanlibo kong kamatayan
 Sa palad Mo ilalaan
 Sanlibo man aking buhay
 Bawa’t isa’y iaalay
 Sa Diyos at bayan kong mahal
 Sasanggal inyong dangal
 Isugo Mo kahit saan
 Hamakin man ako’t saktan dalagin ko’y maging tapat
 Pag ibig mo ay sasapat

 Repeat CHORUS 2x

I'M BACK!!!

Did you miss me?

I need to recuperate. That's why.

Expect these things to come up in the following days.

1. PCNE and Misa ng Sambayanang Pilipino
2. Ad orientem worship
3. Mediatrix of Lipa
4. More of the sexual predator aka Vice Postulator

Spread the word.  Manong Pedro is BACK!!!!

The relic hunter is a pedophile and a sexual predator

I will not be using a Facebook anymore after the relic hunter and book writer was exposed of his modus operandi of luring young men as altar servers or followers of his "relic" ministry.

I have verified information of the number of young men he has sexually abused in the Diocese of Cubao, in the school and parish.  I have verified information of what he did while he was in the USA, asking relics from different postulators since, according to him, the Servant of God is his "model and inspiration" which are all a ruse to build up his massive collection of relics.

Speaking of relics, lay people are not granted the privilege to own first class relics!

NEVER!

Only priests and religious are given this privilege and ONLY a bishop can write to the postulator of a saint to request a first class relic.

So, it confirms our long held suspicion that this relic collected stole diocesan letterheads and faked the signature of the bishop in order to get the relics he has.  OR the relics he possesses are either stolen or FAKE as shared to us be reliable sources inside the Dioceses where he had been.  Couple of priests and workers of the Chancery have relayed this story to us.

So, beware of this RELIC HUNTER - SEXUAL PREDATOR!

He is a disgrace to the Church!

Stay away from him and never be fooled by his other name - BLESSED IVAN.

My Facebook account attacked by a homosexual predator in the Church!

We have criticized Islam, Protestants, Modernists and contraceptive/abortion advocates but NEVER has our Facebook account been deactivated only until I gathered evidence and started questioning this high profile RELIC THIEF who is confirmed to have sexually abused young men altar servers who are serving at the Cathedral of his former diocese.

We will not be silenced Mr. Vice Postulator!'

You have met your match!

You can keep talking about being the Vice Postulator of Blessed Ivan.  You can keep selling your book about relics.  But the fact remains that you have been jumping from one seminary after another.  You have faked the signature of bishops and illegally used the Chancery letterheads to secure for yourself first class relics.

And you cannot deny the fact the you are psychologically unfit to become an ordained minister of the Church because your carnal desires for young men is insatiable!

You are the FILTH of the Church which Pope Benedict spoke about!

You will be brought to justice for using the Church and the Sacred Liturgy as your window of opportunity to take advantage of young men!

Let the bishops, priests, religious and laity be warned against this individual!

More Chinese New Year nonsense of some Catholics

Like what my friend asked "Is there a liturgical feast for the Chinese New Year?"

Hey Look!

It's favorite liturgical abuser!  Bishop Leopoldo Jaucian, SVD!

If there are some native Filipinos (Lumads) who are as filthy rich as Henry Sy and his family, you can bet that these clerics will have no problem burning incense and praising the pagan gods of the natives!


PS:  These pictures were shared by concerned parishioners of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in New Manila, Quezon City.  These people and I mean PEOPLE, are already concerned with the liturgical abuses going on in the national shrine.  I thought they had a PROFESSIONAL MASTER OF CEREMONIES in that Shrine?  Or maybe he is too busy being a "channel of blessing" to other people or as I call it "being open minded" to go into the networking business.  Sources told me that this guy goes around wearing a clerical collar, even if he is NOT a cleric!  Well, LIBRE ang MANGARAP like those guys who make a LIVING on RELICS.  Guess who!

Spotted during the International Eucharistic Congress

Do you see it?

Thanks to a GULP officer for this contribution.

Speaking of the IEC, I will dissect what those liturgical heresiacs (heretic hierarchs) like Manabat and Fr. Mark Francis have been saying.

And I also heard that a Cardinal-wanna-be made a statement in support of Misa ng Bayang Pilipino, trying to sound so mabango to the Francis-led Vatican.

The relativism of Sta. Cruz Church

I have already posted about this yearly abuse of Sta. Cruz Church, an abuse meant to accommodate the pagan feast of the Chinese New Year.

Now I can say that this is not a liturgical abuse but a clear manifestation of the relativism of the priests of the Sta. Cruz Church.

What is relativism?

St. John Paul II discussed it in Evangelium Vitae:

Freedom negates and destroys itself, and becomes a factor leading to the destruction of others, when it no longer recognizes and respects its essential link with the truth. When freedom, out of a desire to emancipate itself from all forms of tradition and authority, shuts out even the most obvious evidence of an objective and universal truth, which is the foundation of personal and social life, then the person ends up by no longer taking as the sole and indisputable point of reference for his own choices the truth about good and evil, but only his subjective and changeable opinion or, indeed, his selfish interest and whim.

Pope Benedict XVI also referenced relativism in his homily prior to the 2005 conclave that elected him pope:

How many winds of doctrine we have known in recent decades, how many ideological currents, how many ways of thinking. The small boat of thought of many Christians has often been tossed about by these waves – thrown from one extreme to the other: from Marxism to liberalism, even to libertinism; from collectivism to radical individualism; from atheism to a vague religious mysticism; from agnosticism to syncretism, and so forth. Every day new sects are created and what Saint Paul says about human trickery comes true, with cunning which tries to draw those into error (cf Ephesians 4, 14). Having a clear Faith, based on the Creed of the Church, is often labeled today as a fundamentalism. Whereas, relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and "swept along by every wind of teaching", looks like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards. We are moving towards a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires. However, we have a different goal: the Son of God, true man. He is the measure of true humanism. Being an "Adult" means having a faith which does not follow the waves of today's fashions or the latest novelties. A faith which is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ is adult and mature. It is this friendship which opens us up to all that is good and gives us the knowledge to judge true from false, and deceit from truth.

From these we can draw that relativism is based on the following:

1. There is no objective and revealed truth.
2. Truth is based on one's experience.
3. One's ego makes the judge of all things.  This ego is mistakenly or maliciously called as "conscience"

This ego centric approach to revealed truth as handed down by the Church becomes so relative, a mere lay person or priest becomes the arbiter of what is good and bad for the Faith even though things such as paganism and geomancy become ways of "being a welcoming Church".

This is how the Blessed Sacrament Fathers of Sta, Cruz Church have acted these past celebrations of Chinese New Year.

You will see in the photos below.

Chinese Good Luck lanterns greet the pilgrims

Huge Chinese New Year banners opposite the Year of Mercy banners

And for the coup de grace, Good Luck signs all around the church.

I have already discussed this STUPIDITY in this previous post.  Click this link.

I have heard about how accommodating the SSS Fathers as long as the price is...

"Mr. Bob Barker finish my sentence"!!!

A friend priest once told me "TPC, you think these priests would toy with these things if money was not involved?"

Imagine what they will choose when shown so much fame, power and money... 

Meanwhile...

Because you need guys in lion costumes to drive the evil spirit away in a Catholic church.

Yeah, instead of an exorcist.

Was the lion dance a part of the Mass?  I don't know.  The GULP policeman did not mention it.

So what's wrong?

We are scandalized.

Why inside the church?  Why not outside?

So what's wrong inside the church? 

Because pagan matters have no business being inside a Catholic church unless they are about to be exorcized.

And the bishop should have used this as a teaching moment.

PS:  Was the LITURGICAL COLOR of THAT day RED???

The hypocrisy of a liturgist

I received a very disturbing news about a parish whose monstrance containing the Blessed Sacrament got robbed on the eve of the parisH fiesta.

After learning of the theft, the parish priest who is a liturgist of the SchoOl of Chupungco, decided to hush hush the theft and went aLong with the parish fiesta. And he did celebrate the fiesta, going to from one house to another, partYing in the parish ground as if nothing sacrilegious happened.

This hypocrite oF a liturgist And a scandal of a priest did not even bother to stop whatever festivities they had in the parish in order to call for an Act of Reparation.  Keep in Mind, he must call for an act of reparation as soon as the theft was dIscovered.  He did not even bother to announce what happened to the Blessed Sacrament during the whoLe Sunday!  He just had to partY and get on with the fiesta celebration.

Guess which Diocese?

On the city over the hills.

Which parish?

Where the family whose father is a carpenter is.

Which District?

Ask Mar Roxas.


Shameful!  You are a disgrace!  And to think you brag about being one of the liturgists during the papal visit!

Shame on you!

If you can't be a good priest, then be a good layman!

Leave the priesthood you shameless cleric!

You'd put more emphasis on the fiesta than on the sacrilege that has happened to the Blessed Sacrament!

SHAME ON YOU!!!

Board Meeting Mass Anyone?

If you feel tired or just too formal, why not sit it out for the Mass?

Here's from a newest member of the GULP:

(Kapanata Community 6th Local House Chapter and Community Mass...

Special thanks to ______________ and family for the beautiful accomodation and delicious lunch... — in Caloocan)


The priest is OFM.

Those in attendance are seminarians.

If this is how we train our seminarians, don't expect to get priests who are respectful of the Mass which Vatican II declared as the "source and summit of our Faith".

How to stop these men from doing this abuse?

If you catch them doing it, take a picture, send to TPC.

Second, don't support them financially until they celebrate the Mass reverently.

Pray for them too.

Sometimes, or most of the time, some clerics will think twice if they lose the support.

Hoverboards, Charismatics and Liturgical Abuse

At least 10 years of seminary formation.

One decade!

That is how long a man spends inside the seminary before he is ordained to the priesthood.

You might be surprised to know that in all those years that a man is trained in the seminary, not a single day is dedicated to train them to respect the liturgical norms of the Church.

Truth of the matter is that these seminaries and theology schools don't even read the General Instructions of the Roman Missal.  Instead, they bombard the poor seminarians with liturgical wackology from Chupungco and the San Beda Gang of Liturgical Hooligans subjecting the poor students to a liturgical mind conditioning sessions as if they are under a liturgical water treatment  torture.

Inculturation? Check.
Creativities? Check.
Wanton disregard for liturgical patrimony? Check.
Do-it-yourself liturgy? Check.

These are the people who always claim "Vatican II reformed this!" but would not even tell you that Gregorian Chant was mandated by Vatican II!  EMHCs was never mandated by Vatican II.

"Oh TPC. You're being too legalistic!"

Oh really, now?

So when do we follow the rule and when do we disregard it?

Whose law are we going to follow?

Chupungco and his gang of liturgical hooligans?

Is it really about the law or is it about who we really worship at Mass?

When the Holy Mass becomes a personal play thing for the liturgist (a woman who just doesn't know what doctorate she wants in her life...hello there San Beda!) and for a priest who wants to desperately become a bishop he begged to be transferred to a shrine near the seat of civil power (hello there inside the lamp!), thing is you would rather have Willie Revillame, Vice Ganda and Joey de Leon whip up a smorgasboard of an worship service masked as an entertainment program (or vice versa) and it will rake in the ratings and big bucks!  More entertaining and you folks at home get to bring home the cash! *ka ching!*

So we get the adoring fans of these priests, thinking that "Hey!  Mass isn't boring with this guy around!"  Thanks to our world class liturgists who spend more time destroying the liturgical reforms of the popes and creating their own brand of the Mass (hello Misa ng Sambayanang Pilipino!), rather than catechizing the laity about what the Mass really is.

So these fanatics whip out their cellphones and proudly video their hunk of a priest gliding down the aisle of the church in a sassy hoverboard, thinking "Hey!  This guy's great!"  (You can hear her admire how great the priest was in using the hoverboard while singing.)

And...boom! You get the priest suspended (and still whining and bitching that what he did is ok.)

PS:  The Diocese of San Pablo is a bed rock of liturgical abusers. Remember this YES Camp?  That priest there acting ala Willie R is the Diocesan Youth Minister.  Swag!

If the exception becomes the rule, then by all means, pose all your pictures in Facebook and Instagram and we'll be collecting them here in The Pinoy Catholic as long as we want!

If you think that what you are doing is right and acceptable by Church law, then go and videotape yourself like that priest in Megamall who can't stop orating and watching tambourine dancers every Sunday!

Go ahead!  And share what you have to offer in liturgical creativity to the whole world!

As I have said before, again and again, and after the Synod of Bishops on the Family...imagine the Second Vatican Council happening during this era, when all the technology is at our disposal, things would have turned differently.

I am afraid that these liturgical hooligans wouldn't dare document their adventures.  They know it's wrong and they know they will find their day in court.

Kudos and more prayers to Bishop Buenaventura Famadico of San Pablo for immediately addressing the issue of liturgical abuse in his diocese.

Kudos to you Your Excellency for having the episcopal spine to stand up and do what is expected of a Roman Catholic bishop!  You need a lot of our prayers and supports because your diocese has full of misfits and hooligans and I'm not just talking about liturgical abuse..........yes.......I know who you are.......


In hindsight, do you think people will give a hoot if the priest did not ride a hoverboard?

Was it because that gadget is too expensive and people are up in arms against a cleric using that?  Maybe he borrowed it?

Was it really about the gadget or is it a sign that people are now thinking about what the Mass really is.

If you think it is another specialty course you can get from Bukidnon, San Beda and Rome that you can just experiment with, just look at this picture and go party!
