[Title] => Manila archbishop to game shows: Give donations directly to the poor
[Summary] => Maybe giving to the poor works best without the game shows and competition.
Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Rosales appealed yesterday to major TV networks to directly distribute to poor Filipinos the prizes they gather for game shows.

[Title] => Bishops playing State chessboard
[Summary] => That chess has strong bishops siding with rival kings says a lot about Church history. But the game has evolved since 600 AD into just a brain match with no religious undertones, while the Church has withdrawn from partisanship. Or has it? Last Sunday the 120-member Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines issued two pastoral statements on the great political and economic issues of the day. Judging by their tenor, the bishops are angling to be players anew on the chessboard of State affairs.

[Title] => Archbishop Capalla on the pastoral statement
[Summary] => Some quarters claim that the document, although it contains nothing new, and to some it was even a disappointment, was historic. Do you agree with this?
Actually, the main content of the statement is nothing new. It has been the ordinary teaching of the Church for many years. What made this Episcopal document historic was the occasion that motivated it. As bishops we were confronted by the political crisis, and by the social turmoil it was generating. The entire nation was waiting for the bishops to speak out.
