Catholic bishop frowns on simultaneous kissingFebruary 12, 2007 MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines could have set yet another world record for the most number of kissing couples over the weekend. But at least one Catholic bishop is not so happy about the simultaneous, 10-second, public smooching of 6,124 couples as part of the event called “Lovapalooza.” Former Novaliches Bishop Teodoro Bacani said in an interview on Monday over the Catholic Church-run Radio Veritas that the Valentine event did nothing for true love. “There are things you do to show intimate love and you do it quietly or privately between the two of you. That Lovapalooza should not be encouraged,” Bacani said in Filipino. Through events like Lovapalooza, Bacani said that showing one’s love for a partner had become trivialized simply because there was a world record to beat or the couple wanted to be seen on television. Lovapalooza has become an awaited annual pre-Valentine event where thousands of couples join to be part of setting a world record. On Saturday, organizers said that the Philippines had broken the world record, currently held by Hungrary with 5,875 couples kissing at an event. But the Lovapalooza number still has to be verified by an independent auditor and approved by Guinness World Record officials. Bacani, who weathered accusations of sexual harassment nearly four years ago, added that many people were misled into thinking that “to like is to love.” “But when you like something, you use it for yourself. When you love someone, you use yourself for the person you love,” Bacani said. |

Bishop in sex scandal quits after uproar
|
Manila |
A prominent bishop embroiled in a sex scandal in Roman Catholic Philippines has resigned, Pope John Paul II’s representative in Manila said yesterday.
Bishop Teodoro Bacani had ceased to become the archbishop of Manila’s Novaliches suburb but will remain in the Catholic Church, said Father Walter Erbi, first secretary of the Apostolic Nunciature in Manila.
“The Holy Father has accepted the resignation tendered by Bishop Bacani. However, his resignation does not mean that he’s been removed from the church. He remains absolutely with the Catholic Church,” Erbi told reporters.
Erbi refused to comment on the status of a probe by the Vatican’s college of cardinals into allegations by Bacani’s former secretary that he had sexually abused her.
Bacani has denied the allegations but apologised for “any inappropriate expression of affection” to the secretary.
The alleged affair of Bacani, one of two bishops embroiled in sex scandals in the country earlier this year, received prominent news coverage locally. Bishop Crisostomo Yalung, who ran a parish in Antipolo suburb east of Manila, earlier quit the clergy after being accused of fathering two children.
The Catholic Church in the Philippines for the first time last year publicly apologised for sexual abuses committed by Filipino priests, but insisted that a majority of clergymen remained faithful to their vows.
The Church admitted that some 200 priests had been investigated for sexual misconduct over the past 20 years. Some were dismissed while most resigned voluntarily.
The Philippines is Asia’s bastion of Christianity, with majority of its 80 million citizens belonging to the Catholic faith.

Sa totoo lang, kaya na nga tumiwalas ako sa Simbahang Katoliko…di na ako sumisimba tuwing Linggo, maski palaging ako pinapayo na magsimba pag First Friday, ‘di ko tinutupad.
Sinong maasahan ko kung di marunong magtupad sa salita ng Diyos ang mga tauhan inilaan Niya sa mundong nito???
Ano na ang religion mo?
Roman Catholic by birth, agnostic by choice
But the catholic church is just an institution run by men (sinner) and having faith in the church should not be confused with the people running it. You can still be a catholic and christian by faith (ang pagiging kristiano naman e di nagtatapos sa pagkikinig sa mga makasalang tao sa loob ng institusyon). At hindi lang naman nangyayari yan sa katolikong simbahan.Kahit nga ibang preacher (jim bakker, jimmy swaggart, marvin gorman etc) who were really moving can still sin. JUst keep your faith.
