This actually happened.
It was a masquerade ball for their parish priest who will be re-assigned to another parish.
This happened in Sampaloc, Manila.
A holy place, dedicated to the worship of the One True God, turned into a social hall.
If young Catholics treat holy places such as these for such a mundane manner, why be surprised if people do not regard marriage or life in the womb as sacred?!
We do this to our youth. So stop the whining why the world is into same sex "marriage" now.
Nothing is holy anymore. Nothing is sacred anymore. Nothing deserves respect anymore....EXCEPT......
A person's "rights" also know us....WHIMS and CAPRICES.
Right, Fr. Diwa?
Sino ba ang parish priest ng simbahan ito/. bakit pinayagan na sa loob mismo ng simbahan idaos ang socialization na ito????
ReplyDeleteThis seems to be the same church where the Neocatechumenal Way Mass is regularly held.
ReplyDeleteAs of your writing, Fr. Diwa is not anymore the Liturgical Head Director of the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission - Manila. He is now the current Rector of the National Shrine of Saint Michael and the Archangels at San Miguel, Manila last July 1, 2015. His former position (Liturgical Director) is now vacant.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the vampires' ball in the movie Van Helsing. I didn't know lack of common sense and appropriateness were part of priestly formation.
ReplyDelete. Pati nga sa mala-"fashion show" na mga Santacruzan ginagawa rin sa karamihang parokya. Nwala tuloy ang essence ng "catholic santacruzan"
