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!!!!

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!

PS:  To our Facebook followers, while we work on recovering our Facebook account, you can send your messages via our email account thepinoycatholic@gmail.com

Innovations and Traditions: Christ the King Eucharistic Procession redux!

So if you do not have any degree in Theology and Liturgy, you don't have any right to speak up.

Like if you do not have any law degree, you cannot talk about your rights under the law.

Right.

Makes you wonder why some individuals would rather defend their procession of an image of Christ the King instead of a procession with the Blessed Sacrament.

(You have this inkling that they are the ones behind this, eh?  Or your typical anti-TPC readers.  Maybe Nuknuk got touche here.  HA HA)

Let's turn the tables.

Show me an example that processing with an image of Christ the King is done as part of Church Tradition?

Put it this way.

You don't do the Sinulog with the Blessed Sacrament.

I would be against it.

It was always done with the Sto. Niño image so do it like how our forefathers did it.

So?

Why have a Christ the King procession without the Blessed Sacrament?

An image cannot replace Christ Himself.

And since they ask for Church LAW:

104. Eucharistic processions should be arranged in accordance with local customs in regard to the decoration of the streets and the order followed by the participants. In the course of the procession there may be stations where the eucharistic blessing is given, if there is such a custom and some pastoral advantage recommends it. Songs and prayers should be planned with the purpose of expressing the faith of the participants and the centering of their attention on the Lord alone.
(Eucharistiae Sacramentum)

Next challenge!

Show me a photograph to prove that Christ the King processions with an image instead of the Blessed Sacrament is THE tradition and NOT an innovation.

This photo is from this source.

Less Facebook for me

My doctors told me to have less Facebook.

My account placed this in me.

Oh well

A request to a TPC reader

.

Mary Kris....

Please re-send your comment to email @ thepinoycatholic@gmail.com

I'll be waiting for it.



***

PS:  For those wanting to send GULP photos and questions or suggested topics for discussions, email these to me, please.  Don't send it via the comments box.  It's getting full and it is hard for an old man like me to read them.

Thanks for all the support and trust!

The hard work and persecution amounts to nothing because of your trust to The Pinoy Catholic blog.

Thank you.

God bless us all!

Who is the blogger behind The Pinoy Catholic

Ok ok ok...

You got me.

I will reveal my name now.

I know I had to do this out of obedience to higher authorities.

And because innocent people have been dragged into the "Who is TPC? Witchhunt" I might as well, shed off the camouflage and reveal my true identity so that innocent people don't get sent to the gallows.

And I know I need to putting a face behind the blog "can" bring some credibility behind the blog.

So, if you need to...

Click here to my Facebook page and know who I really am.

Please pass this one to Carlos Celdran whom I challenged to meet me at Quaipo Mosque to repeat his Damaso stunt inside the Muslim house of prayer, and to the Freethinkers who I always challenge to a debate and to the Chupungcan Liturgists headed by Jeff Velasco of the Diocese of Cubao and to the cosplayers...

Now you can know me!

Thank you!

The best New Year's Resolution

Be faithful to your baptismal vows!

Happy New Year from the bloggers of TPC!

Some scenes from my trip to Japan

Shijuku Station.  Super high tech!  :)

See the temperature when I was there?  4 degrees!!!  Brrrr!!!!

Their "LRT", super fast, super cool!  When will we have these here? 

We used some of these lockers to leave my heavy bag full of pasalubong.  Super high tech.  We used electronic key cards.  :)

 And the yummy lunch I had.  Tsukemen... ramen wherein the noodles are dipped into the sauce.  Hmmm...

I was hoping to visit Nagasaki where my dear lolo Enchong "St. Lorenzo Ruiz" witnessed the Faith.  But my trip did not cover that.

So, anywho, it was a nice trip.

Very quick.  Talked to some guys in the traditional movement...

Met some friends back in the consular days.  ;)

And got a a lot of insight into the life of the Church in Japan.

Thank you very much!

Sorry. I still cannot say the Japanese sentences you taught me.  :/

I was asked to stop condemning sin

I was about to post this on Facebook but I decided to post it on the blog.

**

For those who think exposing sins and evil like how I do it is making you uncomfortable, and you think I am not being a true Christian for calling out erring people, you are free to unfriend me.  I do not belong to the Church of Nice.

Did I deny Vatican II. NO!

But some people claim that I do, which I don't.

Some people claim I am a "secret SSPX supporter" which I am not.

But this is who I am, and to quote Cardinal Pell who responded to the question "so people like Fellay have completely misread Pope Francis?"

Yes, it is a gigantic misreading!  In actual fact, the Lefebvrists – many of them – have misread the situation for decades.  It was to Benedict’s great credit that he tried to reconcile with them, but they didn’t respond. Now the Church today accepts the Second Vatican Council. You don’t have to accept every jot and tittle of it, but it is part of Church’s life now, there’s no way around that.

BOLD LETTERS are mine for emphasis because those are EXACTLY my views.

Now let the criticism of YOU-KNOW-WHO start.

HA HA HA HA HA

Nice Gospel for today

I heard Mass at Don Bosco Makati today and especially liked the Gospel for today.

The Gospel is about the mustard seed and the leaven as likened by Christ to the Kingdom of God.

I know I have rubbed people the wrong way, and I know that I had been too harsh in how I said my piece of mind.

Sorry, if I hurt people.

But the truth can sometimes hurt, and I am one old guy who will never ever be a member of the Church of Nice.

Though how insignificant I may be, though how small like a mustard seed the blog is, I am consoled that my work generates the debate that it intended to start.

Priests are talking.  Lay people are asking. The Chancery is now wondering.

That is all that matters.

I am not the mustard seed or the leaven in the Gospel.

I do not claim it.

I'd let the readers of the blog see for themselves if my work has made the dough rise, or if the seed I have sown has grown and the birds of the trees rest upon its branches.

It is you, dear readers, who tell me to "Go on!" "Don't close the blog!"  "I have been enriched with what you wrote."

It is only you then, who'd tell me if it is about time to stop.

But..............

My health is failing me and I am not getting any younger.

I suffered what was diagnosed as a mild stroke and I will be resting for a while.

Thank God that I have other bloggers who would be contributing to the blog.

They will be helping out.

Are they priests?  Seminarians?  Laity?

Hmmmmmm...........

In the meantime.......

Murmurs and whispers in a "meeting"

of "Directors" of "Liturgy" of "dioceses".



"Wear your vestments right or you end up in a blog!"

Oh my, dear Padre.  You made me blush.

You follow my blog!

What some of you told me...

And this...

I just can't let more than 1,000 people visiting the blog daily.

I just can't.

You want to read and be catechized.  And I am here.

Thank you for your trust.

Please keep me in your prayers.

I need to be strengthened, physically, emotionally to keep this going.

I do not seek attention, fame or be photographed so it can be posted on Facebook, or be invited to speak in seminars or what have you.

In fact, I did not do this for fame or fortune.

I did this because I had to.

Because this is what I got from my Baptism and Confirmation.

And this is what I will do.

Thank you.

Please pray for me.

Talked...chatted...read...

To priests, to ordinary laymen...(yes, it includes women!)

Found enlightenment!

Not in a Masonic lodge!

But from Catholics who BELIEVE and LIVE!

Thank you for standing with me.

And I know for sure what this blog is all about.

This might be it...

Too many things to consider.

Too many.

Prayers answered.

Signs given.

This might be the end

Or it might be a hiatus.

For what has been.

Thank you very much.

To you my dear friends...

Do not sleep.

Do not rest.

Keep oil in your oil lamps.

Be on guard.

Be steadfast in the Faith.

For we were born for combat.

I am Catholic.

God speed!

One of the best comments I have ever read.

This is a comment about this post.

Now here are my comments to the comments.  :)

Come to think of it, the Roman Collar is one distinguishing visible sign for a priest, for a bishop.

Too bad this is no longer the norm. [really bad, not even the indult for the Philippines which is the barong with a cross hung around the neck.  Rarely would you find priests dressed this way.] 

But it certainly is no simple external sign, but in a a way
- identifies the person is a priest or bishop [identified as a CLERIC]
- reminds the priest or bishop that he is set apart from the rest and should therefore act according to priestly decorum  [Can we hear a big "Amen" for this?]
- and deters him to act improperly and be in a place only where priests should go [Amen amen amen!!!]
- it also reminds lay people that they are talking to a priest  [Identity crisis in the Church, yes we do.  Laymen wear the clerical collar and the clerics wear the layman's collar.  Ugh!] 

Looks too simple, but its impact is great!  [It is great of an impact.]
I hope our Filipino clergy will come to their sense to return to their proper decorum.

I noticed that the younger clergy are the ones beginning to wear this way.  The hippie, 1960s clergy who are slowly fading away are those not dressing this way.

We hope that what we see on the outside is in fact a reflection on what is in the inside.

Kudos to Jose Maria de Manila for that comment. 

I was scolded!!!

Yes.  NO one else but by a priest who reads the blog.

"Bakit ka pumapatol sa mga taong may sakit sa pag-iisip?  Anong labas mo noon?"

Come to think of it...

But this one is an exception!

But...

They all belong to the same ward.

The basement of Makati Med...

The walled institution in Mandaluyong...

Wow!!!

The blog just reached a milestone!

PAGE VIEWS!

Some of you know that I planned to give up blogging, but your constant "nagging" (hehe) and daily visits of an average of more than 2,000 a day, even on holidays(!), made me think twice.

Thanks to all the support and trust.

It is also because of your emails and alerts that fill the pages of this blog.

To expose those who hurt the Church from within and to defend the Church from those attacking Her from outside.

And the blogging continues!

Michael Voris on the state of the Church

Well, I think Michael Voris sums up what the blog has been sounding off since Day 1.

Liturgical abuse, loss of the sense of the sacred and the sense of sin, the blantant disregard of priests and nuns with their state in life, the unabashed teaching of the heresies in the Church...

We are at war.

Keep the Faith, and keep praying!
