    Abuse by the Catholic Church in the Philippines

    http://www.philnews.com/ (this may have changed)

    Do not turn this thread into a religious argument. I'm interested to know what the Filipina's think about the abuse by the Catholic Church in the Philippines, and has the Church/Pope done enough?

    The Pope has taken a pounding back in Germany for doing basically nothing, as all the Catholic Church say is that they are answerable only to God.

    On that note ... this week's front page cover of Private Eye is a classic.

    :lol2: ... I'm reminded of a similar classic ... posted the other week by Dedworth ... wherein the name of the journo reporting on this very topic was ... would you believe? ... 'Roger Boyes'!

    When I was last in the Philippines the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila was Cardinal Jaime Sin. He played a role in the "People Power" revolution which toppled President Marcos. He was made Cardinal by Pope Paul VI. There were many jokes around his name : "The greatest sin of all" and (allegedly) his own pun about his official residence "Welcome to the House of Sin"
