Nais ko lang ibahagi ang isang bagay na kung saan naibahagi sa post ni DJB sa FilipinoVoices.com sa article na Black Nazareno Cloned, Goes To Mindanao…Ngek!
Ito ang article ni Dean Jorge:

First let me say, I am glad to see that the religious impressarios organizing the annual Black Nazareno procession wisely decided to move its usually crowd-lethal starting point to the Luneta since fatalities and injuries had been multiplying in the last few years. On second thought, I detest the idea that they chose the Luneta. Methinks the Catholic Bishops and the Philippine Daily Innuendo were actually rubbing salt in the wounds of the Other Hero and Martyr there present. Frankly, if I were to succumb to the mortal sin of idolatry being urged on the masses, I would pick the German-made graven image in stone, not the Mexican Wooden Indio pretending to be the Son of God in Pinoy drag. But wait! Here is the latest contribution of the Catholic Taliban to the Mindanao Peace Process…Ngek!
The Roman Catholic Church of the Philippines has recently cloned the original and true miraculous wooden idol called the Black Nazarene of Quiapo–a kind of graven image of a graven image–and sent it off to Cagayan de Oro because “there are so many devotees there”. At a time when all-out war is being threatened if not quite carried out by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, honestly folks, how smart of an idea IS this??
Now what were we just talking about on Rizal Day?
As the Catholic Taliban Sing Hallelujah!
Fuego!
At ito Ang Sa Wari Ko:
Aminin natin na para sa isang Katolikong bansa tulad ng Pilipinas, parte na ng kaniyang pananampalataya at paniniwala ang pagiging panatiko niya sa mga pistang kagaya nito. Marahil para sa akin na minsan ay nasasabing taliwas na sa paniniwala ang nangyayari sa Pista ng Nazareno at gayon din sa iba pang pistang kagaya nito ay ang “Idolatry”, marahil maaaring mali, pero sa kabila nito ang punto ng isang ordinaryong tao pagdating sa kanyang pamumuhay at pananampalataya ay nakaugat alinsunod sa nakasanayan niya at panata. At hindi natin sila masisi lalo na’t ito ang tanging pananampalatayang pinanghahawakan nila sa mga bagay na nangyayari sa buhay nila at sa pamamaraang ito humahanga ako sa mga taong ito sa kabila ng terminolohiya ng “Idolatry”.
Sa usapin ng “cloned” Nazareno na ipinadala sa Cagayan de Oro, tulad ng sinabi ko sa una taliwas man sa batas at paniniwala ng Simbahan ang maling tulad ng Idolatry ay maaaring nagiging tama dahil sa bagay na ito may sumisibol na pag asa sa kabila ng problemang hinaharap ng mga kapatid nating Katoliko at Muslim sa Mindanao.
