I have nothing against actors who meddle with politics although some may have indeed muddled the issues. When I was still into talismanic magic, being a Caviteno, I didn't mind Ramon (Bautista) Revilla canonizing hoodlums in his "anting-anting " movies but it seemed that despite the span of time, the amulets didn't work so much in the legislature except that staying in politics indeed charmed the voters. And so with the senate performance of Lito “Pinuno” Lapid.

Sometime before his death Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, more popularly known as Benedict XVI was contemplating in the smoke of Satan that entered into the Church by some crack, as Paul VI, Giovanni Cardinal Montini observed. Why wouldn't he know that crack, when in fact, if John XXIII was the architect, who else would engineer the illusions of Vatican II but him. Angelo Cardinal Roncalli was correct in tasking Montini with Vatican 11 because he was most effective in the gradual erosion of faith in the Catholic Church. Montini's reforms in the spirit of Vatican II harnessed men like Augustin Cardinal Bea who pushed an extreme kind of ecumenism which prostituted Catholicism with other beliefs and Hanibale Cardinal Bugnini who effectively disgraced the Perpetual Sacrifice with a mutilated liturgy.

I must confess that I got carried away. In my last essay, I was calling for us to support a guerilla warfare. But yes, I was mistaken there was no need for that. Not yet. You see, they have installed the diabolical mechanism for a one world religion. This is only half of the masterplan. Apparently, the one world government is not yet in place. They are still mulling about it. Who's gonna start it? The Illuminati and their Freemasons? The Communists and their minions? Or both?

The oldest traditional defense strategy is simply castle keep. This is why in ancient times, the building of a city or at least a great town is preceded by the building of a fortress or a castle that would enclose the King's court or palace..

Have you ever wondered in the game of chess, why the bishop is quite powerful? Well, in this series of essays, I will be explaining the matter in a manner by which the layman, the simple chess player on the street would understand.

Thanks to modern psychiatry and psychology and the new interpretation of the social justice system; today's sexual revolution is unparalleled since Sodom and Gomorrah and the days of Noah. Christian countries have so long frowned at Islamic child marriages where children die under the weigh of lustful men, family-initiated vendetta rape in India, mutilations of private parts in animistic tribes and by the selling of children by their own parents to pedophiles.

Ecumenism is such a big word. I do not know how all mankind as brothers are going to fit in. But if you are elected Vicar of Christ, perhaps you would know how the charism given to popes must be so special that things unfathomable for us would be possible for them.

There is no stopping Pope Francis. If John Paul II may be said to be the most traveled pontiff during his lifetime, Jorge Bergoglio may actually break his record and in so doing bring about so many records between the Vatican and the countries he has visited during his pontificate.

It was about five centuries ago when a sign of contradiction was transplanted in the islands. It was akin to the Byzantine sword brandished by Constantine the Great, whose cruel character as an emperor was transformed into a child Principe Constantino, to escort the representation of Santa Elena. At the same time if one holds the blade (kapit sa patalim), it was the cross of a faith that will triumph in the end.
