On one hand, what i think that is most important is his safety. On the other, Pope had just been to Turkey and that happened after the Regensburg address- nothing happened.

There are different opinions on this matter and it is very hard to discern what would be good for all. I say, let us just pray for what the Lord wills for the Philippines. And Im also quite certain that the Pope, with the graces of the Holy Spirit, will be able to discern what God wills for him as well.

Thanks for the visit and comment, Barney.

I guess the archbishop’s appeal is more of asking His Holiness not to dignify what critics call an illegitimate and morally bankrupt administration than depriving the Catholics of the pope’s presence.

Did “His Excellency” Oscar Cruz forget that Jesus himself has often associated himself with “tax collectors” and other sinners? If the Philippines is indeed as dark as he sees it, doesn’t that mean that the Filipinos needs the comfort and inspiration a Papal visit can bring?

Is he really in a position to deprive the millions of Catholic Filipinos the presence of the Pontiff?

just asking…
