I watched a movie the past week. As usual they played the trailers of coming movies before showing the movie that I paid to watch. Since Christmas is just around the corner, Metro Manila cinemas are heavily promoting movies that will be shown during the annual Metro Manila Film Festival.
Among the movies that caught my attention, was the movie of Pinoy King of Comedy, Dolphy, entitled Father Jejemon.
No, I do not intend to watch the movie. The trailer did not entice me to watch it.
The title of this post says it all.
Because there are scenes in the movie showing what is presumed to be "funny" things happening while the character of Dolphy who is a priest in the movie, is distributing Holy Communion.
Folks, I tell you, it is downright blasphemous.
One scene shows Dolphy giving communion to a voluptuous woman who knelt to receive communion on the tongue. So far so good, eh? Communion...kneeling...on the tongue?
But, to give it a "funny twist", he accidentally drops the "host" on a woman's cleavage. The other "funny part" is the host getting stuck on an old woman's dentures.
So, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO LAUGH AT THIS?
Imagine if something like that were done on...hmmm...let's say....the Koran?
Let us see who gets the last laugh? Why always the Catholic Church, huh? WHY?
This is an obvious bias towards Catholicism folks and the MSM just love to make our religion the laughing stock of pundits and movie makers.
THIS HAS TO STOP!
DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
The blog of a group of Filipino Catholics and their frank commentary on anything that affects their lives as a citizen of the Philippines and as a Roman Catholics.
Didn't they make fun too of evangelicals? Praise the Lord! Alien!
ReplyDeleteBut as far as I know the media hasn't made fun of the Iglesia ni Cristo. The INC is more than enough material for a spoof more than what the Roman Catholic Church can dish out, but have they made a comedy out of the Iglesia ni Cristo?
Oh, this is not good. Thanks for the information.. Catholics need to be informed.
ReplyDeleteBen, the INC is a false religion so it does not fall within the devil's radar for attacks. In that it leads people away from the truth, it works for the devil's agaenda.
ReplyDeleteYou would think that the octagenarian Dolphy would clue in that he is in his twilight years and would be wise enough to set things right for the coming judgement. I guess he is opting for reward in this world.
On a side note, even the American entertainment industry has not went into the territory of actually mocking the eucharist. As the Philippines still is a predominately Catholic country I pray that there is a backlash.
