Profaning chapels due to insufficient government relief
UCA News reports:
The social action arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines urged bishops and priests in disaster areas to offer chapels to be used as temporary classrooms as some 25 million primary and secondary level pupils around the country return to school this week.
You may have noticed that more and more parish buildings are dwarfing the actual churches. Can you imagine the size of the community center next to Notre Dame Cathedral if it were proportional to the huge boxes we find adjacent our churches here? Now whatever small consecrated space remains is becoming pointless.
If you read continuous reports from the Philippine Church you’d think the whole country was a constant emergency. Once they start making chapels classrooms in disaster areas, kids will have to go to China to be near Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
“I think the Lord would even be glad if His house will be used in helping others,” said Fr Edu Gariguez, executive secretary of the National Secretariat for Social Action and Caritas-Philippines.
Oh look, there’s that word, ‘Caritas.’ It means love.
Second-guessing the Lord is stock and trade for these faux-Catholic functionaries. In the minds of our social justice champions, chapels are no help whatsoever. They confuse the inmates at their indoctrination camps.
“The Lord is always about mercy and compassion,” he said in an interview, admitting that using the chapels as classrooms is a “band-aid solution” to a problem that should have been resolved by the government.
There’s that FrancisMercy again. Perhaps God will also blame the government for profaning his chapels and depriving His children of the Faith? Don’t bank on it.
Someday, please God, the Lord will also be about justice; just enough justice to free us from these weasels.
