CFC-GK split dismays prelate (from cbcpnews.com)

LIPA, Batangas, May 14, 2009—The decision of the Couples for Christ International Council (CFC-IC) to relinquish control over the Gawad Kalinga Community Development Foundation Inc. (GK) will open the pro-poor housing advocacy group to tie-up opportunities with institutions whose policies contradict the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Thus says Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles as he aired regret over the recent breakup between the leadership ranks of CFC-IC and GK, purportedly aimed to allow the housing advocacy group to operate as a non-religious organization distinct from CFC.

Saying the turn of events is “deeply regrettable,” Arguelles firmly insisted that all GK projects, at least in his archdiocese, must still be administered by the CFC, adding that CFC should maintain its control and participation in GK’s “noble task of forming communities of people for the total renewal of families.”

“I had obstinately held that GK should persist in showing itself as a prime result of CFC’s pledge to renew families worldwide. I am convinced that GK should continue and become more effective social arm of the CFC firmly rooted in and reflective of the Catholic faith and practices without prejudice, though, to CFC-GK’s commendable work of sharing God’s blessings with non-Catholics and non-Christians,” said Arguelles.

As such, Arguelles directed Ped Suministrado, the provincial director of the CFC here, to echo his encouragement to the CFC and GK communities within Batangas.

“As archbishop of Lipa, I invoke the CFCs to vow to obey the Church authorities. I give the order that all GKs in the Archdiocese of Lipa that is in the whole province of Batangas must be administered by the CFC and continue as a CFC ministry to reach out to our poorer brothers and sisters.

“Let it be totally clear that GKs outside the CFC direction is not allowed nor recognized by the Lipa Archdiocese. Evidently, GKs in Batangas are prohibited to have anything to do with institutions whose policies contradict the Church’s teachings,” the prelate said, referring to institutions like Habitat for Humanity, Pfizer, and the Population Commission, among others.

Gawad Kalinga shelters a lot of homeless people much like what Habitat for Humanity is doing but Gawad Kalinga is the social action arm of the Catholic charismatic group Couples for Christ (CFC). CFC was founded in the Philippines and has spread all over the world. Too sad to hear that they are splitting up. Last I heard from some GK and CFC members that there are some powerful government and business leaders trying to impose that GK be not "too much Catholic", liek having Catholic chapels within each village. If this were true, I won't be surprised since some of those business leaders mentioned to me are well-known Masons of the Philippines!!! Isn't this the same group who barks religious liberty and freedom? Now they have penetrated a Catholic group driving a wedge between them just like how Obama drove one through the Notre Shame honorary doctorate and the Georgetown speech.

Beware of the Freemasons!
