I also believe that they are one of the reasons why the Philippines doesn't progress.
Here are some things you need to know about the holy Catholic church .
Ukay-ukay- Did you know that the second hand clothes that are sold in market places came from the Catholic church. It's true, my family had a store of ukay-ukay when I was a boy, and I can remember my mother giving a priest an envelop full of money for the goods. Later I found out that, the clothes are donated to third world countries for free. The Church should distribute the clothes to impoverished communities, and since this is donation from Church the importation of these goods are tax free. Now question is, where does the money go? Why do these priests sell them and not just distribute them.
Sin taxes- Are you even aware that every cigarette you puff and every alcohol you drink, your giving money to the church,. It's called sin taxes, well shit. Does that mean my sins are forgiven by God cause the church benefited from my bad habit.
Stocks for God- The Roman Catholic Church owns more than 300 million shares of BPI and is the bank’s 4th largest owner. How much are these shares worth? As of May 2011, this is valued at more than P17 billion. Yes, that’s seventeen billion pesos, with a B.
Aside from banking, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila, together with its subsidiary hospitals and companies, is also invested in mining and construction.
As of March 31, 2011, it is the top 15th shareholder of Philex Mining Corporation (PX), the country’s biggest mining firm. It owns 3.2 million shares of PX currently worth more than P66 million.
Here's more

- Roman Catholic Bishop of Tuguegarao, Cagayan – owns 24,015 shares of Ayala Corp worth P9.3 million
I can go on and on and on and on..... point is, this is where your money goes, in stocks. Wake up people their in the business of making money not saving your soul.
Semenarista- In the seminary where young boys are raised to be priests eat nothing but laing for ulam the boys are starved despite the fact that each student are required to give two sacks of rice a month plus tuition. Now here's the bad part, while the boys are deprived of nutritious food the priests bask on milk and honey, literraly. The priests have a compartment where there food is stored with all sorts of delecios food (yes including milk and honey Lol). Talk about share your blessings eh....
Mind your own business- Hopefully the Catholic church can mind their own business for ones and not intervene in government affairs. The RH bill for example, the reason why RH bill is not being passed is because of the church, Philippines is 83% Roman Catholic, everything they say matters. The divorce bill,... oh my lord,.. were the only country in the world who doesn't have a divorce law,.. it's insane.
