CBCP”s Pastoral statement: A time of pain, a time of grace (Full text is in Comments)
Dismayado ako nang unang narinig ko itong patakaran sa yumaong Jaime Cardinal Sin. At noon, dahil mabango si Sin kay Pangulong Cory Aquino tahimik lang tayo.
Jueteng noon ang pinag-usapan. Kung okay lang tumanggap ng pera ng jueteng para itulong sa mga mahihirap, bakit natin ipahinto ang jueteng at ibang klaseng sugal?
Kung okay na tumanggap ng pera galing sa jueteng, anong masama kung galing sa pamahalaan kahit pa korap ang opisyal na nagbibigay?
Ganyan ang mangyayari kung kumprumisado na ang prinsipyo.
Istrikto ang simbahan sa moralidad. Kasalanan daw gumamit ng contraceptives kahit na hindi mo na mapakain at mapa-aral ang mga anak.
Itinuturo sa atin ang sampung kautusan ng Panginoon kasama doon ang huwag magnakaw, huwag magsinungaling. Ngunit okay lang sa kanila kumuha ng pera sa mga magnanakaw at mga sinungaling. Kaya nang panahon ni Gloria Arroyo, hindi nanindigan ang Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines sa isyu ng “Hello Garci” kahit na klarong yun ay pandaraya.
Kahit nang naglalabasan ang eskandalo sa sobrang dalawang bilyun na nawala sap era para sa agrikultura, aksama na doon ang P728 milyon na para sa abono ng mga magsasaka, tahimik lang sila.
Kung ang isang ama ay tatanggap ng pera galing sa magnanakaw, di ba parang pinakain mo na rin ang mga anak mo ng ninakawan? Yung isa, si Butuan Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos, ay humingi pa ng sasakyan sa kanyang birthday kay Arroyo.
Ginagawa ng mga simbahan na rason ang mga mahihirap. Bakit kung hindi ba humingi ng pera sa pamahalaan wala silang perang magagamit para sa kanilang kawang-gawa. Ang daming pera ng simbahan. Isa sila sa pinakamayamang institusyon sa mundo.
Itong pera galing sa PCSO, ito lang ang nabulgar. Alam ng marami na marami pang tinatanggap ang mga Obispo na pera galing kay Arroyo na bitbit-bitbit ng kanyang alalay na si Mely Poblador.
Heto ang pangalan ng mga Obispo na tumanggap ng pera mula kay Arroyo sa pamamagitan ng PCSO maliban kay Pueblos na tumanggap ng P1.7 milyon: Archbishop Romulo Valles ng Zamboanga (P1.54 M); Archbishop Orlando Quevedo ng Cotabato (P1.44M); Bishop Leonardo Jaucian ng Abra (P1.129 M); Bishop Martin Jumoad ng Usabela (P1.12 M); Bishop Rodolfo Beltran (P600,000); at Archbishop Ernesto Antolin Salgado (P720,000).
Kapag magsemon itong mga obispo ng tungkol sa moralidad, itanong nyo sa kanya kung tama ang tumaanggap ng pera galing sa magnanakaw kapalit ang magbulag-bulagan sa ginagawang pagnanakaw.

May isang nag-txt, ito raw ang bagong meaning ng PCSO:
Pa

Sa
Obispo
Dito lang sa atin ang sobrang ganid at nakikialam sa politaka ang mg obispo at pare. Akala mo ay mararangal sila dahil pare or Obispo. Mga suwapang pala at ang kapal ng mukha ni Pueblos at may pasulat sulat pa. Gagong Obispo pala ito.
Sila pa daw ang himahamak ngayon ng iba at pino politika.
KAtoliko ako pero kung ano ang sasabihin nila ay di na ako maniniwala at pukos ko na lang ang dalangin ko kay Jesus.
Monterodad. 🙂
Double standard nga itong mga obispong ito. My brother who migrated to the US in the mid-60s and never went back to the PHilippines ever again said, the main source of our woes is the church and its holy men. He said # 1 corrupt daw yan mga yan. I never believed him all these years but when Cardinal Sin started to mess around in politics, I was convinced that these men in white robes are not showing the people the axample they should for the people to follow.
I watched one of the obispos who was even patawa tawa when he was interviewed, parang nagsasabing ” eh ano ngayon?”. Nakakawala ng respeto ang mga ito! HMP!
These bishops took advantage of the corrupt ways of the bansot by asking favors in exchange for their support. Never mind if the bansot was the most openly corrupt leader, as long as they got their share of the loot. These corrupt bishops should resign as well to cleanse their souls, if they have any.
I still attend mass but I pray straight to my God. As a matter of fact, I do not give them money when the 2nd collection is passed at offertory. I will just directly give my help to those who need help badly.
Yun pala naman, e. Sumasadlayn pala si bishop sa AFP.
Anak ng pitumpu’t pitong puting tupa, si Bishop na yata ang pinakamatapang at pinakamagaling na sundalo ni Aling Gloria. Kung saan saan nakakarating para buwagin ang mga private armies. Dapat, medal of valor ang ibinigay sa kanya, hindi SUV.
The most dominant organized religious establishment in the country apparently failed to move along with time. Stories like this only offer a not-so-rare glimpse of what the Catholic Church stood for in Martin Luther’s time, when heavenly apartments where auctioned off to those who can afford. In this case, Aling Gloria’s heavenly apartment, and her prolonged stay in the people’s earthly palace were purchased using PCSO-funded SUVs.
Dahil sa escandalo ng mga obispo, ay aking naalala ang movie na napanood ko. title ng movie Fast & Furious 4. Bago nadakip ni Paul Walker ang drug lord ay pumasok sa simbahan ang drug lord. May bitbit na isang bag na puno ng dollares. Milliones tiyak. Iniabot ng drug lord ang bag sa pari ng simbahan at kinuha naman ng pari ang bag. Pagkatapos ay lumuhod sa altar ang drug lord at nagdasal. Imposibleng hindi kilala ng pari ang drug lord. Sa nangyayari sa mga obispo sa Pinas ay parang ganito rin sa movie. Kung papano tinatanggap ng mga obispo ang mga datong na galing sa masama. Tama ang mga naunang mga blog. Hindi na dapat paniwalaan itong mga paring ito na nagsesermon sa simbahan tuwing Lingo.
Bish Pueblos got 1.7 million pesos but now is being asked to return a car, parang may hindi tama, imop. How much did it cost him to buy the car? Full accounting of the money should be required from him, with proper documentation.
But the whole point of the issue is, how kapal naman ni Mang Pueblos na humingi ng birthday gift, specific pa, a brand new car na 4×4. Kapalit? Kahit mandugas ka Gloria!
nawala talaga pagalang ko sa mga obispong yan, mga punyeta. Ang laki siguro ng mga sungay ng mga yan kaya ang laki ng mga nakapatong sa ulo…
Kaya nang panahon ni Gloria Arroyo, hindi nanindigan ang Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines sa isyu ng “Hello Garci” kahit na klarong yun ay pandaraya.
So totoo lang, dapat noong Hello Garci, napatalsik na yan si gloria eh kung hindi lang kinampihan ng mga letseng CBCP… kaya pala, pare-parehas kulay…
Heto ang pangalan ng mga Obispo na tumanggap ng pera mula kay Arroyo sa pamamagitan ng PCSO maliban kay Pueblos na tumanggap ng P1.7 milyon: Archbishop Romulo Valles ng Zamboanga (P1.54 M); Archbishop Orlando Quevedo ng Cotabato (P1.44M); Bishop Leonardo Jaucian ng Abra (P1.129 M); Bishop Martin Jumoad ng Usabela (P1.12 M); Bishop Rodolfo Beltran (P600,000); at Archbishop Ernesto Antolin Salgado (P720,000).
kung sila lang naman ang makikita kong magmimisa sa simbahan, hindi na lang ako aattend ng misa… dapat sa mga yan magresign…
hindi uunlad ang pilipinas kung patuloy na maghari-harian ang mga obispong yan, dapat sa mga yan putulan ng sungay, buntot at pakpak. dapat umaksyon ang kongreso at magpasa ng batas na maglilinaw sa sinasabi ng constitution ayon sa separation of church and state…
#10
perl … tama ka dapat iboykot ang mga mapagsamantalang mga Obispo na yan. Wala namang masama kung pinatikman sila ni Glorya pero dapat sana wag na silang nagpagamit pa ….. lalo na yang Pueblos na yan … pinagre-resign pa ang Pangulo niyo …. galing talaga ang tangnang Obispo na yan.
Eh kung ang isang halal na Pangulo ay kayang patalsikin ni Sin at mga Obispo sa tulong ng civil society, nagagawa nila. Pati si Cory napaniwala nil Sin at Soc Villegas. Pero nag sorry din si Cory ng makitang isangnmalaking pagkakamali ang pagkakalagay kay Gloria.
Kaya may Gloria, ay dahil sa kagagawan ni Sin! Proud pa ang mama habang nanunumpa ang pandak sa Edsa Shrine!
Sino nga ba ang may kagagawan ng pagkakaluklok kay Gloria?
Hindi lang pala mga kurap na mga ilang opisyales ng Gobyerno ang problema natin kundi pati na din ang ilang opisyales ng simbahang katolika. Mga buwayaaaaaaa mga walang bituka!!!!!!!
Totoo na marami pa palang Padre Damaso.
An abominable photo. Nakakasuka. Ugh.
I can’t forget this ever…

Matagumpay na pagaaklas at gawing pampublikong palikuran o kubeta ang mga simbahan.
Kung akoy mamamatay, pupunta ng langit at ang grupo ng nasa litrato ang makakasama ko, mamatamisin ko pang sa impiyerno didiretso.
In the company of thieves, charlatans and hypocrites.
#14-Andres, pagkakaintindi ko eh conspiracy (business, church, military, yellow group at elite) yung pagpapatalsik kay Erap at pagluklok kay bansot sa trono. di nila matanggap na isang actor ‘lang’ ang mamumuno sa kanila. di ba mayroon pa raw interview sa asawa noong bagong luklok siya at mabangong-mabango ang pangalan na pag-upo pa lang daw ni erap nag-plan na sila sa makati office ng the firm kung paano siya patatalsikin. marami tayong readers na siguradong maraming alam – more enlightenment please.
Ellen,
Sino iyung dalawang Obispo nasa bandang left ni Gloria.
Ang katabi ni pandak ay parang binobulong ang “PAJERO” ko ha Huwag mong kalimutan.
Iyun naman sa likod nasa taas ng bumubulong ay nakatingin at siguro sabi niya ako naman ang hihirit susunod. Ang hirit ko ay SUV or Kuwarta..
This picture is a “show of force” there’s a passage in the bible that says “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

Paktay na!
Kaya nang panahon ni Gloria Arroyo, hindi nanindigan ang Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines sa isyu ng “Hello Garci” kahit na klarong yun ay pandaraya.
They sold as before, dahilan lang sa lagay gamit ang pera ng bayan, they will sell as again. No wonder buhay pa si DAMASO! Mga hipokrito!
The only way for them to redeem themselves is when those involve resign as bishops and for them to adhere to the rule of law and promote separation of church and state.
HAMON SA MITSUBISHOP

Anong klaseng “we are sorry” yun, may halong sermon “huwag daw silang husgahan” dapat kasi simpleng sorry lang tapos hindi na namin uulitin promise.
jug,
Ang tingin ko sa picture ay parang asukal si Glorya na pinapaligiran ng mga langgam 🙂
ang tingin ko sa mukha nung mga karamihang nakaputi eh si Mike Arroyo… kaya pala close sila… walang kahihiyan!
It is sad. Those white-robed mitered fellows used to be so respected. It was almost a sin to even think that they could commit a sin. Now it is expected that they would. Especially sins of the political and sexual kind.
Sad because the sins of a few have condemned the whole. Can’t help it. That’s how it is. So efforts must be exerted to remind ourselves that majority of them are still respectable.
Or are they?
Pastoral statement
A time of pain, a time of grace
Our Dear People of God,
Our Mother Church has been deeply wounded by the controversies in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office that have erupted in the past two weeks. Some members of the Church believe in the innocence of the bishops involved in the issue, while others do not. There is no doubt that everywhere in the Church there is great sorrow. We your pastors are one with you. As shepherds struggling to love you like Jesus the Good Shepherd, we are sorry for the pain and sadness that these events have brought upon you.
We are saddened that many of you, especially the youth, the poor, our Basic Ecclesial Communities, have been confused because of the apparent inconsistency of our actions with our pastoral preaching.
As we express our sadness, we also ask you to be slow in judgment and to conscientiously seek the whole truth behind the controversy. Let us seek the truth always in charity.
We assure you that the bishops concerned are ready to accept responsibility for their action and to face the consequences if it would be proven unlawful, anomalous, and unconstitutional. We assure you that their action was done without malice. Out of their sincere desire to help their people, they failed to consider the pitfalls to which these grants could possibly lead them. They have also expressed their readiness to do everything that is necessary to heal this wound so that we can all move forward in hope.
We also assure you, our beloved people, that we shall re-examine the manner of our collaboration with government agencies for purposes of helping the poor, making sure that pastoral sensibilities are respected and the highest ethical standards are observed. We shall examine our values in the light of our vocation to be disciples of Jesus Christ. We commit ourselves to the long journey of personal and social transformation required of all disciples of the Lord. We plead with you to walk with us in this path of constant renewal.
We express again our deep sorrow for the pain that the recent events have brought to you our beloved people. The good Lord knows our love for you. The words of the psalmist come to our mind: “My sacrifice, a contrite spirit. A humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn” (Ps.51). As the same Psalmist addresses the Lord, we take his words as our own to encourage and challenge us: “Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.”
For the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines,
+NEREO P. ODCHIMAR, D.D.
Bishop of Tandag
President, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines
July 11, 2011
We are saddened that many of you, especially the youth, the poor, our Basic Ecclesial Communities, have been confused because of the apparent inconsistency of our actions with our pastoral preaching.

sa susunod hindi na kami magbigay ng sulat nagiging ebidensiya pala yun, verbal request na lang with matching threat at least pwede pang ideny later.
#21 Phil: I so agree with you! Crab mentality of Filipinos in full display and it shattered our nation by installing the greedy midget and her family. At least si Erap may puso para samahirap no matter how imperfect he is.
andres,
Its not crab mentality really, at that time the country was bombarded with so much negative information about Erap.
The clergy (at least some noisy and influential ones) painted him as a notorious womanizer, gambler (with video in the casino) chick boy, with midnight cabinet drinking sessions every night and coming to work mid day already, as if aversed to work. The military was well taken cared of knowing his support for Reyes, but it opened a pandora’s box, pwede pala, someone offered a better deal. They painted him as listening more to his barkada, shady, incompetent advisers. One of them got him entangled with the BW Resources issue which is really tantamount to economic sabotage, if he wasn’t aware of it the economics savvy Gloria could easily paint him incompetent. So he got the ire of the business group (the legit ones). He also got entangled with the media, calling for an advertising boycott for Inquirer which backfired, it was tantamount to silencing freedom of speech and made him look defensive. All the houses he bought for his other women and the fact that he had other women and families other than his legal one didn’t help (maraming inggit, hehehe). And he had Chavit Singson, a close friend and partner who sold him out.
In hindsight, which is much clearer really, I wonder why it just took 2 years for so many people to hate him enough to boot him out of office? Thats the power of the media and the power of the church. He became defenseless because the military abandoned him in the end.
The way I see it, he had a good heart, unfortunately he had scheming, conniving, ruthless, vice president who studied pretty well his weaknesses and knew how to push the right buttons. He made the mistake of trusting Gloria, someone outside his trusted circle, outside his party, and gave her the keys to his kingdom.
It happened so fast, we were all bombarded with negatives even I was panicking already, as if the country will be driven to the ground because we have a drunk, bobo, senile, chick boy, immoral, directionless, amature, at the helm. Or at least thats what they painted him out to be in massive scale, the budget could have been horrendous for them to pull it off.
If Maceda did a good job, the result speaks for itself.
He never had a chance from day 1, he, we didn’t see it coming.
Fast forward it to today’s situation, its the same pattern. The bishops attack the jueteng connection, KKK, tanghali na pumapasok, the detractors (paid) attack with walang alam, abnoy, incompetent, etc. There is obviously a massive amount of money being thrown to influence the media.
Unfortunately some people learned from the Erap experience, ultimo si Erap (God bless him) never failed in giving advise to the current dispensation. When the rest of the “magaling” na politiko just criticised, he defended pa nga.
The military issues have been properly addressed with the potential “pay off” takers exposed, so hindi na sila threat, the conniving influential bishops exposed – nakapon na rin.
But I really believe that unless we cut off the head of the serpent, the money flow stopped, we’ll never find any peace. We must see Gloria arrested and jailed for what she did, not just to Erap but to the entire country.
Its right for the administration to keep running after Gloria, keep her in the defensive, don’t let her and her allies regroup and recoup their strength, because we all know her capability, give her breathing space and we’ll all regret it.
Did you see the bishop who held up the bishops’ letter? Naka-smile pa. Parang nanunuya. “I am sorry” daw sila. Heh,heh,heh parang narinig ko na yun noon ah.
The scheming bitch is still that…scheming. Let us not underestimate her evil intentions. Maraming nanakaw na pera yan kaya lahat ng mga alipores niya noon, eh loyal pa sa kanya, patago nga lang. O kaya, naman sisipsip din kay Pnoy. Lalong lalo na yung mga napayaman niya ng husto. Pnoy has to be extremely careful with those who used to be with the midget and who are pretending to be his allies. Mga makamandag ang mga yan. I do not trust that evil bitch!!!!!
Anak ng pitumpu’t pitong puting tupa, si Bishop na yata ang pinakamatapang at pinakamagaling na sundalo ni Aling Gloria. Kung saan saan nakakarating para buwagin ang mga private armies. Dapat, medal of valor ang ibinigay sa kanya, hindi SUV.

Ka Enchong, dapat magpabaril muna siya, kailangan wounded in battle dito. Hehehe
ka enchong,
Ikaw ha, masama yan. 🙂
Jug,
Ang alin? Harharhar…
Seriously, I do not understand the Butuan Bishop’s motive in saying what he said. Is he clueless as to the implications of the separation doctrine? Or, is he simply so confused, he cannot even tell the difference between God and Aling Gloria?
Breaking news bigest crocodile traped in Palawan:
biggest crocodile was a female specie , MacapalCrocodylus Arroyus con Obispus.
#33. Jug: I agree with you! Very good analysis of what transpired. Half truths and lies were made true and real by the media specially Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The fierceness of PDI was not as strong under GMA. Probably because they were responsible also for installing Gloria.
jug, Nakita mo na ba yung bago kong profile pic sa FB? Yung Nissan Sapari?
CBCP Apologizes. Was that an apology?
I watched the Senate hearing on TV this morning with the Catholic Bishops supposed to be questioned by the Senators regarding the issue of PCSO funds they accepted.
The CBCP was given a chance to air their side. They read their joint apology through a CBCP statement. That was an apology?
I am paraphrasing that apology as I understood it… ‘We are sorry for causing our flock pain and confusion. But we do not admit that we did anything wrong. The fault is with the pained and confused flock for having misconstrued our actions.’
Duhh…It was like listening to Gloria’s “I am sorry”.
The bishops all decided they would return their vehicles. But still they are not saying they did anything wrong.
And the Senators were only too willing to let them go quickly and they made sure the bishops were unscathed.
It was the PCSO who bore the brunt of the questioning. Maybe so.. because it was the giver (Gloria, Uriarte, Morato, etc.)who should have known better than to give funds away to religious groups.
But Gloria is Gloria.
I hope the bishops have learned their lessons well here.
To never accept gifts from a devil. (As Jinggoy seemed to suggest to Bishop Pueblos.)
But alas Pueblos says that even Cardinal Sin once said that he would accept money from the devil and give that money to the poor.
So have they learned their lessons well, do you think?
The next time I go to confession, I will use the CBCP approach:
” Father, I don’t think I have sinned but forgive me if you think I have sinned..but I seem to have sinned only because the Church has come up with the Ten Commandments.”
… and, Father, I will continue to commit that sin as long as I am doing it for the sake of the poor.
tt,
Galing pagkagawa ng nissan sapari mo, nireshare ko na nga:)
Mukhang nakuryente yong nagbinyag sa mga obispo na “Pajero Bishops”.
Mga mumurahin lang pala naman yong mga gift sa kanila mayroon pang second hand at hindi mga SUV. akala kasi ni Juico, mga SUV, at pag SUV, Pajero. Nagtatangatangahan lang siguro ito para makalusot.
Nakakahiya itong si Juico, gusto lang maging mabango kay Noynoy, tinira at ipinahiya yong mga bishops. Kung tutuusin ang halaga ng mga sasakyan na ibingay sa kanila wala pang 8 milyon, samantalng yong mga magnanakaw diyan daang milyon.
Kahit na pumalpak itong si Juico, untouchable yan. member yata ng KKK.
The bottom line of PCSO fund scandal given to 7 Bishops is about Gloria Arroyo. I don’t condemn the 7 bishops because they were used by Arroyo to buy their silence and they are sorry for it. Who among us here can say that in our lifetime, we were not been used, manipulated directly or indirect, twisted by wrong informations, biases, etc.? The bishops are human too, frail to commit mistakes. They have spoken already, said sorry of their lapses. Its enough. Let’s hate the sin, not the sinners.
where i come from, any car is a luxury car, 8 million is too much money for me already. even if it was just 100,000 its still something to be ashamed about! Damaso!
they received bribes and they conspired to defend a fake president thet should be tarred and feathered
The church hierarchy should have relieved the corrupt bishops from their positions, after what they have done they do not deserve to lead anymore. If Jesus was here today he could have whipped them, thrown them out saying “you have turned the house of God into a den of thieves!”
Those apologists for the bishops are doing the church a big disservice, we must expect more from our church leaders, they are not mere politicians, the stakes are higher, our spiritual salvation! To those much is given, much is required!
From now on, let’s refer to these dimwits priests and bishop
as “asban”; Asong Simbahan!
Priests were assassinated in Central America for speaking the truth at one time; most priests are glorified in Pinas for being corrupt, abusive, and what have you.
Anong moralidad ang pinaiiral ng Simbahang Katoliko?
Hindi raw labag sa batas ang humingi at tumanggap ng pera o sasakyan mula sa PCSO. Hindi nga… Pero, nasaan ang budhi ng mga obispong humihingi at tumatanggap ng tulong kahit hindi nila kailangan ng tulong?
Paano mangangailangan ng tulong ang obispong nagmamay-ari ng P8M halaga ng common stocks sa Ayala Corporation? Ang retiradong obispo ng Tuguegarao na nanghingi at nabigyan ng tulong ni Aling Gloria para magpagawa ng sarili niyang retirement house ay ika-73 sa top 100 stockholders ng Ayala Corporation.
Paano mangangailangan at tatanggap ng tulong ang Catholic Archbishop of Manila gayong may 200M shares (na nagkakahalaga ng P17.3 BILLION) ito sa Bank of the Philippine Islands?
Hindi kaya kasama sa tungkulin nila bilang mga alagad ng Simbahan ang tumulong sa mga nangangailangan? Anong moralidad ang pinaiiral nila habang nagiging kaagaw sila ng mga tunay na nangangailangan?
…and some of them even have the gall to demand public apologies from PCSO and PNoy? What arrogance is this? I can almost imagine what their reply will be if somebody points this arrogance out to them:
“What arrogance? Our humility is second to none.”
…and if they use that “he who has not sinned cast the first stone” to hell with them – I didn’t ask for a brand new car from the president!
Ito na ang unang bato – one big hollow block for you bishop!
…and why would you leave that big block hollow? Fill it up before the big throw, jug! My bad…hahaha.
