Not Serious

CBCP Archbishop Lagdameo calls for a "new kind of People Power", whatever that's supposed to mean.

How can you be serious about ending corruption and the abuses if they can barely mention the name of Arroyo? How can they be serious if they know the truth but still refuse to call for Arroyo's resignation, like what they did to Marcos and Estrada?

Why the moral inconsistency and double standard?

Instead, these people would rather put the blame on everybody else for the mess they help created:

Catholic bishops appear to have totally lost their moral moorings as they virtually exculpated Gloria Arroyo and her government from blame on the rampant corruption and instead put the blame on the Filipino people for the moral decay in society.

They also placed the blame on the media for the “darkness” that we live with today, saying Filipinos are “a people almost without hope,” seeing darkness everywhere, adding the many problems we have today are “simply rumors, fears, suspicions, imagined wrongs” and as these rumors, imagined wrongs, suspicions and fears are reported in the newspapers, the people believe these imaginary problems to be true and factual. All these were stated in the bishops’ pastoral statement issued Monday.

This is truly an amazing pastoral statement from the bishops who claim to be the country’s moral guides.

The genius of the Bishops. Read the whole thing. What they're doing at this moment is a form of damage control, if you think about it.

UPDATE: "Nakakalito ang mga sinasabi nila."
