Money, Politician, Bishops – The New Holy Trinity

I have seen it, as a Catholic who goes to church every Sunday and even during Wednesdays for my Mother of Perpetual Help Novena, i was offended. I am offended how CBCP, Inquirer, and the rest of these zealots keep on insisting that the whole of Christianity is offended. I am not.

I cannot say i know my religion, but i know my faith. And i know that what i saw wasn't offensive, not to me, not to my faith, and especially not to my God, who is, according to my religion teachers, is most understanding and forgiving. I know my God is not a wooden statue. And I know my God is not a crucifix.

I do not think i know anything about art to criticize the art piece of Mideo Cruz and will not defend it. My beef in this is that CCP, who is supposed to be protecting out artistic freedom buckled down against pressure. From Money, Politicians, Church. The realization is that maybe Mideo Cruz's installation “Poleteismo” was a foreshadowing of who is truly god and worshipped in our society.



Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
