Before engaging in issues between two opposing forces related to causes of Philippine calamities, it is necessary to consider the possibility of deceptions among the parties.
For example, in a recent pronouncement of Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, he blames the "ungodly" laws, e.g, Reproductive Health (RH) law, as a cause of Philippine disasters.
Is he honestly correct?
First premise: The subject of the blame are the recent Philippine calamities, such as, Cebu-Bohol earthquake and Yolanda typhoon last October 15, 2013 and November 8, 2013, respectively.
Second premise: Reproductive Health Law was approved only last December 2012.
Third premise: "Lust" is being promoted in the reproductive health law.
Pope Francis does not like "money" to be idolized. By the way, what is wrong with the use of the word "money" connecting it to "idolatry"? Is there idolatry in money?
But before we discuss this deceptive use of word "money" , let us first quote the report.(www.rawstory.com)
"Speaking at daily Mass on Monday, Pope Francis condemned the worship of money."
"Though money itself was not inherently evil, Francis said the attachment to money lead to destruction of families, friends, and the self".
“It leads you to idolatry, it destroys your relationship with others,” he said, according to Radio Vatican. “It’s not money, but the attitude, what we call greed. Then too this greed makes you sick, because it makes you think of everything in terms of money. It destroys you, it makes you sick.”
Typhoon Yolanda and other calamities are caused by idolatrous lust. But what's going on between the author of idolatry and the legalizer of lust because it seems they are not in good terms?
This was shown in the pronouncement of Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, who blamed the
"ungodly" laws, e.g, Reproductive Health (RH) law, as
a cause of Philippine disasters. Is he honestly correct?
First premise: The subject of the blame are the recent Philippine calamities, such as, Cebu-Bohol earthquake and Yolanda typhoon last October 15, 2013 and November 8, 2013, respectively.
Second premise: Reproductive Health Law was approved only last December 2012.
Third premise: "Lust" is being promoted in the reproductive health law.
