TO SHED LIGHT ON THE RECENT REMARKS OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF, POPE FRANCIS
by: Kuya Katoliko
Disclaimer: I do not intend to offend, harm or discriminate the LGBTQ+ Community. I always respect them.
Yet allow me to give some clarification on this matter, since I feel the rough and disturbing clamor of the conservative Catholics, especially those who believe on MORAL ABSOLUTISM, mastered by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. This article is with the guidance of our dear Bishop, Julito B. Cortes of the Diocese of Dumaguete. He said,
"Brod, the statement of Pope was mistranslated, misconstrued, so misunderstood. Pls see the clarification below. Thanks."
This was taken from the post of Facundo Prudenti Pasini in the FB Group, Purely Papist Saintposting (Catholic-only). This is the verbatim:
Guess what: IT'S IN SPANISH and the subtitles are way off.
He (the Pope) says:
"The homosexual person has the right to be in the family. They are children of God, they have the right to the family and nobody can be kicked out from the family neither make their lives miserable because of that. What must be done is a LAW OF CIVIL COEXISTENCE. They have a right to be legally covered."
But the subtitles wrongfully say "What we have to create is a CIVIL UNION LAW"
Original Spanish: "La persona homosexual tiene derecho a estar en la familia. Son hijos de Dios, tienen derecho a una familia y no se puede echar de la familia a nadie ni hacerle la vida imposible por eso, Lo que tenemos que hacer es una ley de convivencia civil. Tienen derecho e estar cubiertos legalmente."
This is where I make a stand, the Pope's remarks was indeed misconstrued and was taken out of context because of the wrong translation of the language. We are all aware of this possible glitches if the subtitle is automated, and possibly if its done intentionally by the producer who is an advocate of such cause, without the knowledge of the Pope himself. This is also an awakening for all of the faithful to fight against FAKE NEWS; we have been misled, deceived and blinded already for many times, this must have crossed our borderline already. Enough for us to be more vigilant, and always to think critically if events like this will again occur. Let us always check, double or triple check whatever news or articles we read in the Social Media, cross referenced it with other reliable websites to check its veracity. Nevertheless, I hope no one will miscalculate my boldness, I never intend spoil the uplifted spirits of the LGBTQ+ Community. In fact, with the LAW OF CIVIL COEXISTENCE, I, wholeheartedly agree with the HOLY FATHER.
God bless us all! 
For those who continuously mock the Holy Father, accusing him of many heresies, and throwing him all the improper words they can think of, LET ME REMIND YOU THIS!
by: Kuya Katoliko
He is only HUMAN, subject to mistakes and any shortcomings except on faith and morals. He is no perfect, he is like us, he is also doing some basic acts that we do like eating, laughing, bathing, etc. Allow me to highlight some titles such as Doctors, Engineers, Teachers, Accountants or whatever. If any of these title belongs to you, how would you play or act on it? Let's say you are an Engineer, that means you're an expert when it comes to the computations or calculations of the strength of materials used for building construction. It also denotes, you can barely commit bigger margin of error because if you do, your project will collapse and may endanger many lives. However, your expertise to that aspect does not excuse you to the tendency of commiting mistakes about the matters outside it. Similarly, the expertise of the Supreme Pontiff lies greatly on faith and morals for having studied for decades on philosophy, theology, masteral and doctorate with the fusion of his real life experiences with the missions and ministries he's been with.
But for the heresies he's been accuse with, what is the criteria you're using? What documents? And who, in line with the curia or the college of cardinals, is saying such heresy as valid? I have viewed a video where they solely based their accusation, I guess, it was a bishop from the other catholic sect from the East line. They cut the words of Francis line by line and was commented and declared by the said Bishop as heretic. As per study of hermeneutics, it is a style where a reader is trying to analyze the parts inorder to understand the whole context but what they did is totally different, it was fully skeptical and only trying to find fault on the words of the Pope.
Lastly, I know that you know the politics within the Church, but if it concerns with the style of the leadership of the Supreme Pontiff, then the problem is not with the Pope but in your behavior and belief clouded with misgivings and conspiracies. We should accept and embrace that there is no such kind of perfect leadership that will suit to the likings of the world. We are the lay faithful and we owe the Pope OUR OBEDIENCE!

THEOTOKOS
By: Sem. JMJ†
In Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God
To further elaborate the term “theotokos or God-bearer”, let us first begin with the biblical grounds, as well as, the context itself. As the book of Genesis stated the proto-evangelium, which is called first gospel because it gave a signage about ‘the promise of a redeemer after the fall. Speaking to the serpent, God said, "I will make you enemies of each other; you and the women; your offspring and her offspring. It will crush your head and you will strike its heel" (Genesis 3:15). 'Traditionally the woman and her offspring have been understood to mean Mary and her Son.’¹ In relation, just even in a very practical view, the phrase “your (serpent) offspring and her (woman) offspring”, talks only of two lines of generation. Obviously, the serpent refers to the devil, while the woman is no other than Mary; but if there’s still doubt about it, I think that’s already unacceptable. We know that our redeemer, Jesus, is the son of Mary, who came into this world to save us; moreover, ‘a woman has seen by John in the book of Revelation who is pregnant and gave birth to a male child (destined to rule all nations) is in a battle against the devil’², then if cross-referenced to Isaiah’s ‘the government shall be upon his shoulder’³; definitely, the child is really referring to Jesus while the woman, is now more obvious, it is indeed referring to Mary. It’s Mary because it was only her who gave birth to the Messiah.
However, theotokos or God-bearer title of Mary was put into question on 5th century when Nestorius, a monk of Antioch tried to nullify Mary as God’s bearer and instead called her as Christ’s bearer. He was challenged by St. Cyril of Alexandria, yet he replied; ‘whenever the Sacred Scriptures speak of Our Lord's activity, they never speak of the birth and suffering of the divinity, but of the humanity of Christ. That is why the most accurate way of speaking about the Holy Virgin is Christ-bearer, not God-bearer[Letter to Cyril 2.11].’⁴ However, more faith defenders had fought the orthodox title of Mary, one of them was St. Alexander of Alexandria ‘Our Lord Jesus Christ in very deed, and not merely in appearance, had a body from Mary, Mother of God [Theotokos]’5, then Gregory Nazianzus ‘If anyone denies that Saint Mary is God-bearer, he is far from God. If anyone says that He passed through the Virgin as through a tube and was not formed in her in a divine and human way, divine because it was without intercourse with man, human because it took place like every other pregnancy, he is equally far from God [Letter 101; Patrologia Graeca, ed j. p. migne, 37:177].’6 In addition, this what I am referring for, that some are only regarding Mary as a mere instrument and has no value afterwards, like of Nestorius who is a heretic, ‘for he regarded Christ as a human person joined to the divine person of God's Son. Opposing this heresy7, St. Cyril of Alexandria and the third ecumenical council, at Ephesus in 431, confessed that the Word, uniting to himself in his person the flesh animated by a rational soul, became man. Christ's humanity has no other subject than the divine person of the Son of God, who assumed it and made it his own, from his conception. For this reason the Council of Ephesus proclaimed in 431 that Mary truly became the Mother of God by the human conception of the Son of God in her womb: "Mother of God, not that the nature of the Word or his divinity received the beginning of its existence from the holy Virgin, but that, since the holy body, animated by a rational soul, which the Word of God united to himself according to the hypostasis, was born from her, the Word is said to be born according to the flesh."8 After that long-debate on the controversy about theotokos, Nestorius was condemned.
Nestorius has failed to destroy Mary as Theotokos, but if such lesson cannot be embarked in the hearts of the faithful, there is always a tendency that heretics will arise in the future. Mary is also Christ’s bearer but not limited to that for the most appropriate title for Mary is God's-bearer; for we can never disregard Mary, that by flesh she had bore the entirety of Jesus, human and divine; for 'God has assumed humanity and not absorbed.'9

CFD-NSC Ranks Number 5
Such significant achievement also reminds of our perseverance, of being steadfast in prayers and always having charity in everything that we do. We may have ups and downs, yet we have already proven that as long as we are united, being one in purpose, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are strong; enough to overcome mountains of trials. We continue hope and pray that may our spiritual growth may also be proportionate to our physical growth.
KUDOS!

Evangelization: Merging Pastoral & Apologetical Ways
By Bro. Joven M. Jalbuna
In our society, we see different types of people. In the field of faith, there are thousands of sects already existing, bearing different teachings and doctrines. Yet among those sects, there is only one that is true and bears the truth which is built by Christ; the Roman Catholic Church. That by any dispute, through the grounds of history, evidences, scriptures and tradition, it remains unchallangeable of being the true and the sole Christian Church.
As a member of the true Church, it is our solemn duty to help our lost brethren back to the right path. However, such role is not easy, it requires utmost faith, love, patience & determination on walking them through to the right faith. And to do so, we need to know some basic things on how to approach our lost and nominal Catholics brethren. Upon my study, listening to talks of some experts and evaluating the needs of the people, it is best if we can balance things out; to evangelize with apologetics combined with a pastoral approach.
Pastoral approach is the way which most of our clergy is applying. Which guides the people spiritually, reaching them out with a fatherly care and love, who also gives advices and counselling. And of course, providing the people the most basic and essential grounds of our faith. Whereas, apologetics approach is providing more knowledge and basis of our faith which helps our brethren sthrengthen their faith. If pastoral approach builds the foundation of the faith of the individuals, apologetics is the one enforcing it with the basis of our faith; biblically, historically and philosophically, giving more roots so that when heretics will test it, it will not collapse. It is the most appropriate way also that can be used on educating & correcting our protestant brethren from the false teachings they received.
Pastoral and apologetical approaches combined together is indeed a perfect way to preserve the faith of the individuals. However, living our faith will always surpass all of the talks for through our virtues and good examples, we can encourage others to believe and follow us.
"The Lord’s servant must not quarrel, but be gentle toward all, able to teach, patient, in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth, and they may recover themselves out of the devil’s snare, having been taken captive by him to his will." --2 Timothy 2:24-26

Sino ang CFD?
By: Bro. Joven Jalbuna
"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be READY TO GIVE AN ANSWER to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with HUMILITY and FEAR."
--1 PETER 3:15
A CFD is tasked simply to defend and proclaim our CATHOLIC FAITH to those who are blinded. A task that is not really easy; for it is a solemn obligation of everybody who aspire to be defenders of Faith. Yet the question is: Is it merely defending and proclaiming the Faith without a pure and humble heart?
Not to be a humbe defender of the Faith, just even not decent or not having that sense of moral uprightness is a shame to the Apostolate! It is the mere reason that every Chapter has a formation inorder for its members to be Spiritually formed and ready to represent to the outside World what a real Christian is. Yet, unfortunately, commonly we always observe and see this misguided CFD Members tend to argue wrongfully with foolish approaches. It made me wonder, is there a proclaimation of Faith happening by that? Or, do they sound defending the Faith or just engaging to useless debates?
Then, what a CFD should be?
That question for the fact, every member of the Apostolate knew the answer already yet just failed to act it. Not just for mere acting but simply for real and full of love. A CFD should proclaim our Faith with humility and fear as what St. Peter said; to be ready to provide reasons concerning our Faith, means with sense of sincere intention. To provide enlightenment among others who are blinded and to defend the Faith against attacks for the sake of giving clarity to the ambiguity and false accusations done. And most of all, to win souls. And how to win souls? We know it, BE LIKE CHRIST! ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
Here's the sweet and winning words of Pope Peter for us:
Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing. For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” --1 PETER 3:8-12
Let's contemplate brethren! Let's help form ourselves SPIRITUALLY.
Be a CFD of example; not of bad.
PRO DEO ET ECCLESIA!
PEACE TO YOU!

UNDERSTANDING WHAT SOCIAL MEDIA CAN DO
Modern Evangelization
By: Bro. Joven M. Jalbuna
Other people underestimated the Social Media World. They think it is just limited as medium of Communication, as for entertainment, as for social networking, as for personal use or as for past time. They have not think that Social Media is a very vast World you can ever imagine. It's range is unlimited and its territory is immeasurable. And there are some points we have to consider; first, Social Media is now one of the biggest asset for Business. There are lots of people who became successful in their business/es thru the use of Social Media. It's role in promoting and advertising products is so huge, it can reach any individual around the globe. Second; Social Media consist the largest audience for Entertainment. Anybody who has the passion for entertainment can be famous thru Social Media. Third; Social Media for Politics. It played a great role during last elections anywhere in the World.
Fourth, Social Media for Bad Influences. That is the most alarming among all. Due to its very vast realm, Social Media became the largest channel of the evils in promoting their influences to the people. They became so influential when it comes to wrong or false entertainment that leads to mind poisoning. Such as promoting violence, immorality and nudity. People tend to follow & believe them. There are even secret groups that those members are promoting, discussing and even performing nudity and any form of sexual activities. Social Media is also the field of troubles, some people are quarelling and fighting here. Social Media is also the reason why there are lots of people who easily judge others and bash a certain person. It is also the field of false competition, of being fame or known. Social Media also become a wrong example to children; for they can see here a variety of shows, it is also bad for their health to stay for long in front of their gadgets and most of all, they cannot do their lesson or household chores. Social Media is good if it is being utilized properly.
Fifth, Social Media for MODERN EVANGELIZATION.
As an advocate in pursuing awareness for Social Media ethiquets, I really stand for it. For only thru Social Media Evangelization, we can stabilize the content of the Social Media. Thru it we can counter the evil. So there's really no mistake if you are going to post prayers, Bible verses, inspirational lines, or about God related statements here. Because if you gonna do that, you have contributed and became one among those advocates who promote righteousness. Due to the FOURTH POINT, the Church came to the idea of reaching and connecting to the people thru social media. One reason is, people is no longer interested in going to Church, reading the Bible or going to Religious gatherings. So its an initiative of the Church that if people cannot go to the Church, so the Church will go to the people thru Social Media.
Think before you click. For one mistake may ruin other's life or you may hurt others.
