It’s 1:00 am in KSA and I had half hour to waste before my
time for bed. Its 6:00 am back home so I clicked on ANC (TFC.tv) wanting to see
what is the latest on the news. 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 – I can’t get myself to shifting 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 refer to Jesus as the true prophet
of God and only few times did he follow it up with “son of God.” I had a
feeling that the cardinal cannot bring himself to calling 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.”
Sometimes 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 you tube or if abs-cbn archives it
on ANC; I will embed the video here)
