Many Filipino Catholics say poverty for priests and religious only means -- poverty in spirit while having so many luxurious possessions! Kaya maraming nabiyayaan si Napoles! Niyari sila ni Pope sa Manila Cathedral: For all of us, it means living lives that reflect the poverty of Christ, whose entire life was focused on doing the will of the Father and serving others. The great danger to this, of course, is a certain materialism which can creep into our lives and compromise the witness we offer. Only by becoming poor ourselves, by stripping away our complacency, will we be able to identify with the least of our brothers and sisters. We will see things in a new light and thus respond with honesty and integrity to the challenge of proclaiming the radicalism of the Gospel in a society which has grown comfortable with social exclusion, polarization and scandalous inequality. Tama na ang pag-inarte, tama na yang special treatment, at living luxurious lives in airconditioned convents, wifi seminary! Be poor! Tagal ng sinabi yan ng mga liberation theologians!
