Arrogance in a Homily

Read here.

Excerpt:

The remarks made by Fr. Jose Vernon “JV” Ilano while he was celebrating Mass last week were recorded by a churchgoer on a mobile phone. The recording found its way to the local ABS-CBN Baguio television network.

Ilano spoke out against the RH proponents during a noon Mass he celebrated on April 10 at the Baguio Cathedral. He mentioned former Akbayan party-list lawmaker Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel—who was neither in the church nor in Baguio at the time—as among the measure’s supporters.

ABS-CBN in a report on its website quoted the priest as saying in a mix of Filipino and English: “If there is anyone in the Mass here who are pro-RH bill…please, go out. It’s useless.”

“What is this Mass for if you are pro-RH bill? What is going to Church for if you’re pro-RH bill?” Ilano was also quoted as saying.

It was not known if any of the churchgoers actually left the cathedral.

My comment:

Grating that the RH Bill is totally immoral, don't you think the mass would be a good opportunity to convince your members about it by letting them be there so that they can listen to you?
