=========================
Here, we see a microcosm of what's fucked up about Philippine society.
A 17 year old single mother is having her child batised. But the dickhead priest takes the opportunity to give her a degrading lecture in front of others. Although he speaks in Tagalog, the translation is as follows:
"You agree to sleep with a man who is not your husband. Is that what the church teaches you?… This child is not at fault but women and men who sleep together outside of marriage live in sin. The disgrace will be passed on to the child. In other words, you shouldn't have indulged yourselves and now have a child. Yes, the child is a blessing but it was conceived in sin. He was not conceived in… are you married?… As a Christian should you be proud of this, that you have a child but not a husband? You should be ashamed and even hide yourself. We should close this church for the shame because you would have the child baptized without a husband; you slept with a man not your husband. Did you hear me? Are you not ashamed? That should be a source of great shame. What about you, will you follow suit? (unintelligible)… This child is full of grace because he has been baptized. You have been baptized but you have not kept your baptismal vows. You should help the child fulfill these duties, but because you are crooked, there are others who will help bring up the child so he will not be crooked like you, not be like you who does not follow the Commandments of Christ. That is why this is not right, this should not be continued…"
The good news is, Filipinos are increasingly likely to disagree with some elements of Church doctrine. For example, the Reproductive Health Bill was passed last year even though the Church vehemently opposed it. The Bill, which mandated sex education and distribution of condoms, was supported by over 80% of Filipinos and passed easily through Congress and upheld by the Supreme Court.
