I have a lot of respect for a wide range of beliefs but am also discerning. I am not a catholic, I am an atheist but I have respect for catholicism and christianity but that doesn't mean I ought to swallow any old nonsense. And there are many filipinos that share that belief too. Many staunch catholics are fed up with the anti RH stance and my wife is one of them. Its perfectly possible to be a devout catholic and not agree with every word that the Bishops have to say.
On the here nor there and mumbo jumbo. This mumbo jumbo affects my wife's family, so it does concern me.
