It’s 1:00 a.m. in KSA, and I have half an hour before bed. It's 6:00 a.m. back home, so I clicked on ANC (TFC.tv) to see what the latest on the news was. It completely slipped my mind that it was Sunday. Cardinal Tagle was beginning the day with the first reading of the Bible, and I, being a Muslim and a Bible fan, can’t get myself to shift the
channel.
I just had the shock of the day: the cardinal “not once” did
he refer to Jesus as “our Lord Jesus Christ,” the usual litany of words that
you hear from the priesthood, but repeatedly referred to Jesus as the true prophet
of God and only a few times did he follow it up with “son of God.” I had a
feeling that the cardinal could not bring himself to call Jesus “Lord and God,” meaning the argument is now shifting from Jesus – “SON OF GOD AND GOD” to Jesus, “THE PROPHET OF GOD AND SON OF GOD.”
Some time ago, England’s bishops conference declared that
Christians are no longer obliged to believe that Jesus is God. Huh! What
happened…?
(If someone uploads it on YouTube or if abs-cbn archives it
on ANC, I will embed the video here)
