Papa Don't Preach


"The act of suicide is condemned by the Church but for Capiz Archbishop Onesimo Gordoncillo, victims should still be given Mass especially if certified by the doctor to be not in their right mind."
-GMANews.TV


Funny, but nobody in his/ her right mind will knowingly take his/ her own life, if you ask me. :)

gibbs,

kumusta padi?


AliNe,

it's different in japan. hara- kiri is ritual suicide and part of the samurai code of bushido. people who performed seppuku were in command of their mental faculties (e.g. author yukio mishima). it's part of their culture to regain honor. :)

Sure it's not in our power to end one's life....this is a delicate subject! Well, personally giving mass to suicide person (who's apparently psychologically bothered) has the right to receive a decent mass. Case to case basis nga dapat talaga!

I always love watching those pretty ballerinas on ice since way, way back. I love their elegant movements and their grace under pressure. I guess I like watching all kinds of sports from mixed martial arts to basketball to car racing and of course, figure skating. The competition for this year’s edition is not that deep name- wise. Gone were the likes of Shizuka Arakawa, Michelle Kwan, Irina Slutskaya and Sasha Cohen who never fails to electrify the skating world with their showmanship and grace on the ice rink. But their absences were made up by the presence of the young and talented skaters eager to prove their mettle as worthy successors to the Rink Goddesses that once...
