Well, when it comes to God, gays, and gambling... kelan ba nanahimik ang Catholic Church. how about kung corruption ang pinaguusapan? nasaan ang "outrage" ng mga bishops? Ano stand ng CBCP kung corruption sa Arroyo gov't ang pinaguusapan?
"Very sensitive and delicate 'yung RH bill sapagkat, see the governtment masyadong marurunong ang ating congressmen, they take this population as an economic, purely economic and social issue. [For] the Church it’s otherwise. It's an ethical issue. Not just pure sociology and economy, it's an ethical, it's a moral issue. Maging ang pulitika ay moral issue. Maging ang economy ay moral issue," Rosales said during a visit to Baseco, Tondo in Manila, where he led a Mass for the urban poor.
Sorry cardinal para sa aming mga ordinaryong tao ito ay social at economic issue...plain and simple.
The statement came amid the latest Social Weather Systems (SWS) survey which showed 71 percent of respondents, or majority of Filipinos, favor the passage of the bill.
In the latest SWS survey conducted September 24-27, some 68 percent of the respondents agreed that there must be a law that obliges the government to distribute legal contraceptives like condoms, Intrauterine device (IUD), and pills to people who want to avail themselves of these.
The remaining 15 percent disagreed while 16 percent were undecided.
“It is undeniable that the Filipino people are the ones demanding information and services,” Benjamin de Leon, president of The Forum for Family Planning and Development (The Forum), said in a press conference.
In the survey, the respondents were asked to agree or disagree with three statements: 1) The use of legal contraceptives like condoms, IUDs and pills can aslo be considered as abortion; 2) There should be a law that requires government to distribute legal contraceptives; 3) If family planning would be included in the curriculum, the youth would be sexually promiscuous.
Out of the 1, 500 respondents, 50% do not agree that the use of contraceptives is a form of abortion, 68 percent agree that there must be a law that requires the government to distribute legal contraceptives and 54% disagree that including family planning in the school curriculum would lead the youth to be sexually promiscuous.
The respondents were composed of 81 percent Catholics and 19 percent non-Catholics; 50 percent are males and 50 percent females; eight percent come from classes ABC, 64 percent from class D and 27 percent from class E.
Vox Populi!!!
Survey 'manipulated'
Meantime, the group Pro-Life questioned results of the latest SWS poll.
They insisted the survey, which showed strong public support for the reproductive health bill, is a result of manipulation.
Ya right!. I bet kung paborable ang survey sa side nyo eh hindi kayo magrereklamo..please!!!
However, Pro-Life president Ed Soretta said they don't plan to request for the conduct of another survey, adding the issue is one of morality and not population.
the leaders of the church are so out of touch!
On the other hand, Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, the bill's primary sponsor, said the questions asked in the survey were fair.
Lagman added the group cannot accept the fact that the bill is already making progress in the Lower House.
The Catholic Church’s position against contraceptives is based on one of the seven encyclicals published by Pope Paul VI in 1968 called Humane Vitae. It states that sex is only permissible within a marriage, and married couples are not allowed to engage in sex outside of procreation.
