Church leaders praise junking of same-sex union
Church leaders in the Philippines have welcomed a court ruling junking the same-sex union petition with “finality”. The Supreme Court upheld an earlier decision to reject the petition that seeks to allow same-sex union in the predominantly Catholic country. The petition, according to SC, lacked “substantial arguments” to warrant the reversal of its earlier ruling. Bishop Broderick Pabillo, the auxiliary of Manila, praised the ruling and urged the public to instead deal on pressing issues like poverty, unemployment and climate change. “We should focus on these (issues),” Pabillo said. Bishop Honesto Ongtioco of Cubao said the Church will…
Message of Thanks
Dear Brethren : Thank you for the support you have extended in making the first March for Mary, Life and the Filipino Family a success. We now have established a tradition of having the March on the day of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception which we hope will be a practice too for all our parishes and dioceses. This is a fitting celebration of Mary’s continuing significance to the life of the Filipino nation and its pro-God, pro-life and pro-family people. Indeed this is a most relevant and wonderful national holiday on December 8 of every year, hence. Maraming…
March for Mary and the Filipino Family
Pro-life advocates on Sunday walked for Mary and the Filipino family in celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Members of Pro-life Philippines walked from Malate Church all the way to the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, where Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle celebrated a mass for them. “This is the first time that we did this on December 8 that’s why there’s only a few of us… but we plan to do this every Feast of the Immaculate Conception,” Pro-Life President Rita Dayrit said in an interview after the mass. “Hopefully, next time…
How redefining medicine has redefined the family
November 25, 2019 (American Thinker) — Today, largely due to government policy, doctors’ offices have been transformed into a big government–controlled business, and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the leading body for family medicine in the United States, appears to prefer it that way. As older doctors like me leave the field, young idealistic physicians bypass family medicine; they are neither interested in working for a business nor motivated by a stifling code of political correctness that fails to recognize the dignity of every human being. Over 50 years ago, purposeful ignorance of the definition of reproductive health…

The Church and ‘LGBT discrimination’
In recent months a lot of discussion has swirled around the issue of alleged “discrimination” against “transgenders” and members of the “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex” (“LGBTQI”) community. Due to the bathroom brouhaha stirred up by Greg Martin Diez – who now goes by the name Gretchen Diez – the issue was catapulted to the forefront of the nation’s attention, as if far more important than truly pressing matters such as the plight of our farmers, the actual state of our national sovereignty, corruption and law enforcement issues needing urgent attention, and the horrendous traffic situation in NCR. Although…
Priest refutes senator: ‘Divorce will never be pro-family’
A Catholic priest urged Senator Riza Hontiveros not to eschew misrepresentation on divorce after claiming that it is “pro-marriage, pro-family, and pro-children”. Fr. Jerome Secillano, Executive Secretary of the bishops’ public affairs committee, said that such claim contradicts the provisions of the 1987 Constitution. “Is she saying now that the Family Code and our Constitution are anti-family, anti-marriage, and anti-children since they do not guarantee divorce?” Secillano said. “Divorce can never be pro-marriage, pro-family, and pro-children,” he said. “Let’s not twist facts just to suit a particular agenda.” On the other hand, the priest stressed that legalizing divorce in the…
