Manila Times columnist Rome Jorge, a colleague and good friend, wrote a wonderful editorial published on the Times last Sunday.
To quote:
At its finest, the Church embraces science and reason. It tolerates differences of opinion. It nurtures debate, criticism and reflection. It can even simply enjoy a book or a movie. Such sobriety comes with maturity.
The laity no longer comprises unschooled serfs to be shielded from confusing information. Modern Christians know that faith is best tempered and strengthened by critical thinking.
We are a nation that has for a national hero an incendiary novelist who exposed the corruption of the Church in Spanish Philippines. Today, the Philippine Catholic Church owes a huge debt of gratitude to Jose Rizal for the Church run for and by Filipinos. [MT]
Well said bushing Rome! Well said.

Ate Ems,
I’m not sure kung may wordpress-to-wordpress import feature, pero ang easiest way na naiiisip ko is to backup your wordpress database tapos ipa-restore dun sa pinaglipatan mong domain.

critical thinking and faith?
that doesnt compute. faith is intrisically illogical.
