Just a thought

"There are those who believe without questioning, but there are those who question because they truly believe."
Dean Raul Pangalangan

I though I'd share this with the rest of the world. It is part of an article written by a former Dean at the University of the Philippines' College of Law arguing the need for a law governing reproductive health in the Philippines (http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20080725-150482/Separating-Church-and-State-fact-from-fiction). Currently the Catholic Church has again taken up arms, calling on the "pious" and the "believers" to oppose any measures by Philippine Congress to pass the Reproductive Health Bill. I call this their way of shoving the poverty syndrome down into the throats of the ever increasing poor Filipinos.

I am not a Catholic and I am sorry that many Catholics have become blind believers of the dogmas and lies their patriarchal culture has passed on to them. For starters, God does not literally put favors on the poor, only to the poor in spirit.
