I was kind of disappointed when manny pacquiao was comparing humans with animals. God made us different from animals and we can love genuinely.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
Manny Pacquiao is actually making sense in the video. But Humans are different from animals. We love others in a different way and animals are not like us. When he was comparing us to animals, it was a little too harsh and it could hurt the LGBT community.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
If I was a legit voter of this nation, I would still vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao even after what he said. This is because he is still a good and humble person and he was able to apologize about what he said about same sex marriage.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
I agree that homosexual acts are not good because it is against the natural law. It is ok to love others with the same gender but it is wrong to do the sexual act. This is because God created us to do it with the opposite gender.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I disagree about homosexuals not entering heaven. This is because it is not bad to love and doing good and avoiding evil is supposed to be whats right and bring you to heaven. As long as you are not doing anything bad and you are doing things that are good, you will enter the kingdom of God even if you are a homosexual.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
First of all because it is for people who seek pleasure for themselves. Second, for money, and lastly, for people who are lustful.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
For revenge on someone who did it with them and the person did something bad to him or her, for fame because they think that people will be proud of them which is wrong.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Watching porn is sinful because it is very disrespectful to the people in it. People are now being treated as objects and it is used for one's pleasure. To solve the problem of pornography, there should be a law to punish people involved in pornography. For me, I should not watch porn because it is a sin. It is one of the deadly sins which is lust and God does not want me to do it.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
First is poverty. People who are poor are forced to sell their body in order to earn money. Second, there are no job opportunities for women so they have to be prostitutes. Lastly, they are also lustful and it could satisfy them and they get money.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
It should not be legalized in our country because it is a sin and it is bad to use someone else's body for own pleasure which is very disrespectful. If this happens there will be many prostitutes which could cause STD.

9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-First cause is poverty because people sell their bodies for money so that they can earn.Second reason is pleasure because they get satisfied and they get money from it.Lastly,the third reason is less job opportunities where women don't have any job opportunities so they have to work as prostitutes as their job.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No,because it's a sinful act and using people's bodies as a object is very disrespectful.

Part 1 of 2
1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao?
• For me, the anti-sex marriage comments of Manny Pacquiao was a bit too "harsh" on the LGBT community. Although he has truth and evidence to what he was saying and claiming (he based it on the Bible), he could have thought of the reactions and feelings of other people and said his thoughts in a different way.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
• Yes, Manny Pacquiao made sense with what he uttered in the video. He has more or less the same stand as the Catholic Church on same-sex marriage. He based it on what was written on the Bible, which is sufficient evidence to back up his claim. However, he could have respected the views, opinions and stand of the LGBT community when he said his thoughts.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
• If I was a legitimate voter of this nation, yes I will still vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao because he was able to prove via his comment that he has the courage to stand up for his own thoughts, opinions and stand. He was able to communicate rather bluntly why his stand is correct and based it with sufficient evidence, which is necessary when elected as a government official.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
• My reaction of the given statement of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is that yes, I do agree. Being homosexual and engaging in homosexual acts are two different things. You can be homosexual yet pure and chaste, which is acceptable. On the other hand, being homosexual while simultaneously engaging in sexual acts in impure and unacceptable.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
• Yes, I do agree with the given passage because first, it is the Word of God; second, engaging in homosexual acts is against the Law of Nature and unacceptable; and third, as I've mentioned earlier, there is a difference between being homosexual yet being pure and chaste, and being homosexual yet unclean and impure.

6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
• Three main reasons why pornography is a reality is because first, other people want to have temporarily pleasure; second, people want to have fun while not harming others (or impregnating them); and third, because of loneliness and boredom.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
• People upload their sex video scandals primarily because they want to cause a person's image to be damaged. They want to humiliate the person and show his or her flaws. They want to gain revenge over a person, therefore they upload their sex video scandals in order to damage his or her reputation. Additionally, they want to get fame and money out of it.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
• Watching pornography is sinful because you are not respecting the privacy and intimacy of other people. You are also treating other people as objects and using it for your own pleasure, which is unacceptable. Solving the problem of pornography is not easy. If I were to solve it, I would involve the people, especially youth, in talks and engage them in other more fulfilling activities that help them stay away from pornography and contribute more to society. I should not watch a pornography video because it is impure, and it reduces Human Sexuality to the act of simply having sex, which is not true.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
• Three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution) is first, because of poverty. Because of their dire financial status, they resort to doing anything, such as selling their bodies, in order to gain money. Second, because of the lack of job opportunities which exacerbates the first reason said previously: poverty. Third, the uncontrollable desire for satisfaction. Because they are unable to become a master of their sexual appetite, they resort to prostitution.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
• No, prostitution should NOT be legalized in our country because it is immoral. It is not clean and it would destroy the image of the Philippines. Additionally, this would set a bad example to the current youth and the future generations of the Philippines. Also, prostitution is a sinful act. Therefore, prostitution should never be legalized in our country.

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
To me, I was ashamed that someone that is looked up to by numerous people is so shallow to overlook that everyone is created equally, but he not only forgot about that, he also compared them to animals-- saying that animals were better than any of the members of the LGBT community.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
Although I know that every person/community is entitled to their own opinions, I don't think that their stand is relevant any longer. There has been changes to how people treat homosexuals and they are now accepted.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
If I were a voter, I wouldn't vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao because he doesn't understand that people are different. Someone who would run should be able to not be shallow about issues as sensitive as this.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
Although I cannot argue with the fact that they "close the sexual act to the gift of life", I believe that it is not a problem because (with the issue of overpopulation and that children are being mistreated by their own families) they may adopt, making them a family and giving them a better environment to live in.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
No, I don't believe that homosexuals will not enter heaven because I believe that God made us all equally; no matter if you are a homosexual or not, you are still a product of God, and he gave you the freedom to be whoever you want to be. Times have changed, and I believe that it's different to be a homosexual now. since people now have accepted & understood that people can differ from each other.

6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
a) Satisfaction
b) Temporary pleasure
c) Boredom and/or loneliness
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I think that people upload their sex scandals for publicity. It may not be a very good reason, but I think that we live in a world where people are too wrapped up with the idea of being famous, that they don't see what they're losing.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
For me, I believe that it is sinful because the act, according to the Bible, is supposed to be only for reproduction. I think the uploading of videos of sex deteriorates is what makes it worse because it seduces people to watch and I don't think thats right. To solve the problem of pornography, I would involve people in talks and encourage them in other activities. Personally, we should not be watching porn videos because it violates the privacy of the people in the videos, and we shouldn't be going against that.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
I think the main reason people resort to selling their bodies is because of money. Today, money is a need because it's what we use to buy our food, clothes, shelter, etc.; not only our basic needs but our luxuries as well.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
In my opinion, I dont think prostitution should be legalized because although people do it for a living so that they have money to be able to provide their necessities, I dont think its right to deteriorate the respect that people have, or they have for themselves.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I believe that each one of us are entitled with our own rights to speak of our opinion. However, if we abuse this constituent right by expanding our analogies to such like animals, then this disdains not just the LGBT community, but the bible as well.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
Yes, he actually made sense when he stated the Church’s side on same sex-marriage—which, he is deploring together with the church. As we all know, the church in the Philippines is strongly disputing on the idea of same sex-marriage as marriage is only bounded for “opposite sex” and that this is with the intention of reproducing. Being said so, if same sex-marriage is legalised, then the true essence of the message of the bible would be disrespected, so thus the word of God.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
If I am going to base this off the topic of his opinion on the same-sex marriage issue, then yes, I would still vote for him. This should not hinder his capabilities of being a leader to the country’s needs right now. On a greater aspect, we should look at what he did (in action and guts) as a profound inspiration in practicing preaching our own position for an issue. However, we should take this as a lesson of being more vigilant and gentle of our words to not hurt anyone, especially that he is a public figure. Applying not only to Manny Pacquiao, we should not let this hinder the person’s capability / real potential in leading just because of a misunderstanding.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
In my stand, the reason of such is reasonable enough, providing it’s not greater than the sexual complementarity. However, we do not have the right to call homosexuals “intrinsically disordered”. Take note, sexuality is not a sickness, it is a choice— choice of who we want to be in the society along with the crowd. And if our only primary basis of rejecting such are through intricate facts for justification that homosexuals shouldn’t be allowed, then we should be ashamed. Homosexuals are human and it is only their sexuality that differs. They are still humans and we have no absolute right of abusing and calling their being a disorder or abhorrent.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I strongly believe that this is not what God is trying to preach to his followers. It is all in the matter of the diction of the hearts of each people to know which is good and evil, thus, applying it into life and actions. Homosexuality should not be a great block to the stairs of heaven! Instead, our hearts are what should lead us there and not what we are in the society.

ReplyDelete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
1.) Uncontrolled intimacy of partners
2.) Victims are often lead to be the “objects”
3.) Prostitution
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
This is only because of the desperation to earn money and gain something in return for one’s personal use. With this, sex videos/ scandals can be the materials / objects that could be used for bribing or block mailing a victim.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Yes, it is sinful. By just watching it, it’s like we are actually “pro” of the idea of pornography and the pleasure of it while numerous characters are victimised. One way to solve the problem of pornography is by acting with integrity and honesty all the time. We should learn and appreciate the true essence of the resistance to temptations that could lead us to be better Christians. Watching porn video is like watching both sides suffer. If we are actually against abuse, then let us shut our eyes from temptations and open it to the good and faithful face of reality.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
1.) Desperation
2.) Pleasure
3.) For Living
These 3 causes lead to prostitution by various women due to the challenges of life. Basically, people who are easily giving in by this lack faith, position and self-control. They do not know the true meaning of “respect” to the audience that lead to suffrage of one’s own & the victim’s body victimised.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Of course, not. Our country is a very big base of Catholic believers. By supporting this, it’s like we are completely swallowing the fact that we could disrespect our fellow Filipinos in instances. Prostitution promotes desperation and body-shaming activities that could lead to more devastating branches in the future. The government sectors should be focusing on this issue more often for this exacerbates our deterioration as a individuals, as community. We all lack respect and understanding, and legalising this would make everything worse.

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I’m disappointed. I respect Manny Pacquiao’s opinion on being against same sex marriage, however, he expressed this in a rude and harsh manner. I am genuinely against his comments (not his stand), as he even referred to the LGBT+ community as “mas masahol pa sa hayop”. How can you expect him to fulfil his job to serve the citizens of this country if he views a significant part of our society as lower than animals?
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
It is true that the Catholic Church is against same sex marriage, although, it is not true that they view homosexuals as lower than animals. God created us in His image and likeness, proving that we are above animals, and in fact, are the most superior species.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I would not vote for Manny Pacquiao. Being given the freedom of speech does not entitle us to discriminate other human beings. A person running as senator definitely must respect all members of society, regardless of their race, religion, social status, or even sexual orientation. In this video, he proves that he does not. Moreover, I do not think he is qualified because his background is insignificant to politics.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
It is a fact that homosexual acts are contrary to the natural law. The Church may be against homosexual acts, but it is not against homosexual people. It is not sinful to be a homosexual unless acted upon.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
“For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.” (Hebrews 8:7,13).
No, I do not believe that homosexuals will not enter the kingdom of heaven due to their sexuality. Their sexual preference should not hinder their relationship with God. The only thing that would prevent homosexuals (and everyone else) from entering heaven is evil acts. The verses above state that the first covenant has been replaced and is now obsolete. Then, people were defined by their sins, now, we are defined by Jesus and His righteousness.

6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Pornography is a reality due to many reasons such as: temporary pleasure, loneliness/boredom, or simply to “have fun” without the risk of pregnancy.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
In most cases, sex tapes are uploaded for publicity. An example for this would be Kim Kardashian, if her video had not been released years ago, her entire family would not be as rich nor famous as they are today.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Watching porn is sinful because it makes people believe that human sexuality refers to the act itself only. This makes people think it is “okay” to treat others as mere objects for their own pleasure. Other than that, it is also a violation of privacy of those involved. If I were to solve this problem, I would involve people, particularly the youth, to be a part of talks regarding this, and encourage them to engage in other activities that will contribute more to society. We should choose not to watch porn since it is disrespectful and against God.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
People resort to prostitution for various reasons. The main three causes would be for pleasure, financial instability, and lack of job opportunities.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Though this is a source of income, it is degrading and immoral, therefore should not be legalised. Besides that, STDs would be widely spread throughout the country.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ANS: For me, I agree with Manny Pacquiao about saying that we shouldn't have same sex marriage because it is against the laws of God. But I also disagree with what he said about the LGBT community that they are animals. There is a difference between humans and animals and that is that we are given the choice of free will. We humans have the choice of free will given by God unlike the animals meaning Mr Manny Pacquiao has no right of calling the people of the LGBT community animals.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
ANS: Yes he is making sense because the laws have been set in the bible. God also showed his punishment to people who disobeyed his law of same sex interaction in the bible. He said his stand despite many opposition because he fears the Lord our God
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
ANS: Yes I would because he seems to praise him and follow the Lord despite many opposition in the community about his stand on the same-sex marriage issue.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
ANS: I agree to this comment because to make life is part of the gift of life. To repopulate the earth there needs to be man and woman to create life. Life couldn't be made if a man falls in love with a man because an offspring wouldn't be made and the circle of life would stop. The church doesn't have a problem with people being gay the only problem is when a man has sexual intercourse with another man. If a man or woman does that they would destroy the circle of life and make a sin.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
ANS: I do not agree with that because God loves everyone no matter who you are. When you reach the gates of heaven, he won't ask you about your gender but he will ask you about the deeds that you have done in this world. The things that you have done in this world would choose whether you're or your not allowed to enter the gate and not your gender.

ReplyDelete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
ANS: Pornography is a reality because people use it as a source of entertainment, a way of gaining pleasure, and for people who work in the industry to earn money.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
ANS: Some of the causes are for personal gain or to gain power over their partner. They could use it as a source of blackmail so that the other would follow whatever he or she commands.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
ANS: Yes it is, because when you watch you are doing one of the seven deadly sins which is lust. When you watch porn you are committing the sin of lust because you desire sexual pleasure. We can solve the problem of pornography by encouraging others to stop watching. When they do that, the porn production companies could start stopping their businesses because they won't earn anything from it.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
The three main causes are for money, for fame, and because the lack of job opportunities.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
ANS: It shouldn't because it destroys the image of love. Having sex without having any feelings or emotion but only for pleasure.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
--It is greatly disappointing to see someone so honored and so well-respected, say something that degrades a community in that way. It is very disrespectful, not just because of his homophobia, but the fact that he even considered animals to be smarter the the LGBT community and its supporters. Yes, I can say that this is his opinion. Although, this is an idea that he should’ve kept to himself, especially since he is downgrading a legitimate community.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
--Somewhat, because though the Catholic Church wouldn’t dare call the LGBT community less intelligent than animals, he has stated the general Catholic view of homosexuality. His mistake was his wording, since he exclaimed his opinion in a a very harsh manner, so harsh that it is actually very offensive to the LGBT community. Also, the Catholic Church doesn’t condemn homosexuals, but they are against the homosexual acts.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
--This interview basically showcases how he’s still thinking like a conservative, “traditional”, and close-minded individual. And these are qualities that my fellow FIlipinos shouldn’t look up to from someone of authority. ALTHOUGH, it cannot be denied that thought this is his view on the LGBT topic, this does not mean that he cannot work efficiently towards other more relevant issues such as poverty and corruption. Though I greatly resent his view on homosexuality, this should not be used as the sole basis of not voting for him, especially when you consider that since same-sex marriage per se isn’t a thriving issue in our society. As voters, we should focus more on voting for officials that can solve our major national problems regarding poverty, unemployment, corruption, and lack of education.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
--In my honest opinion, I do not agree with this. I do not agree with the idea that homosexuals should be condemned due to their lack of fertility. Just saying, there are millions of orphans worldwide, and not a single one of them was ever abandoned by a homosexual couple. It is true that they may not be able to birth a child, but the joy of being a parent is not when you give birth, but when you actually have the courage to raise a child.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
-- No. Homosexuality should not immediately mean that they cannot enter heaven. In my opinion, someone’s worth as a person and someone’s personality and goodness as a whole should not be disregarded just because they choose to love someone the same gender as them.

ReplyDelete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
a. Pleasure— People enjoy watching it.
b. Money— Pornography has become a livelihood for some, and it is a way to generate income.
c. Revenge— Sometimes, someone would share a sex scandal video as a form of revenge towards the person involved.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
--As mentioned earlier, some would use these as forms of revenge. In addition, it could be used as blackmail against those involved.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
--I believe that it is only sinful if the people involved did not intend for the videos to be published, because then that is an invasion of privacy. Personally, I would not watch porn mainly because I feel as if I am taking the sexual acts of others as something not sacred.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
a. Poverty— In many cases, people resort to prostitution in order to gain much needed money.
b. Pleasure/Freewill — Some might see it as a way to do something they enjoy while getting payed, regardless of how sinful it is viewed by society.
c. Experiences— It has been shown in some articles that some people are willing to find easy ways of pleasure as a way to cope with an addiction (usually, to drugs).
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
— Yes. In my opinion, prostitutes, regardless of their reputation in the society, should still be given equal rights as other workers. Especially with regards to health-related rights, since that is one of the larges issues within prostitution. Although it is considered to be immoral, prostitution may be the only way some people can earn money, and if they plan on giving away their body, then might as well give them the rights they deserve to have.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I believe Manny Pacquiao was just trying to prove a point but he did it in the worst possible way because human beings should never be compared to animals especially when it comes to same-sex marriage. I think he should've thought about his words first and be more respectful especially that he is a congressman and one of the leaders of the Philippines.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
He sited a few points that are understandable standing for the catholic church but then again he did it in the worst possible way because what he said is hurtful especially to the LGBT community.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
Honestly, with or without his comment about the same-sex marriage issue I wouldn't vote for Manny Pacquiao because first of all for me he isn't fit to be a leader and a congressman of the Philippines because he lacks leadership qualities. And first of all he shouldn't even be into politics because its a different scene for him, he should stick to boxing because that's where he is good at, he can try basketball too but he's more inclined to boxing.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
I believe given the statement homosexual acts are against the natural law is agreeable. Since the gift of sexual acts is intended for a man and a woman but I still believe that homosexuals can love eachother.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I strongly disagree, because for me I believe that it depends on the content of your character if you will experience entering the gates of heaven. Homosexuals don't mean any harm, so why dont they deserve to inherit the kingdom of God? I think God intended us all to treat each other equally with respect and not to discriminate.

ReplyDelete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
I believe the 3 main reasons of why pornography exists is Money, Loneliness and oversexed people.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Probably because of the fame, money, satisfaction/pleasure and some would do it for revenge.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Yes, without a doubt. I believe what makes it sinful is when you watch it excessively because you get inclined to the idea of Lust over Love and I believe Porn destroys Love because sex is a sacred act you only experience with someone you truly love. Pornography lures you to try the shameful acts yourself with no regard to the value of Love. I dont think there's a way to solve pornography because its everywhere but I can solve it in my own way by not watching it. You should not watch porn because it destroys the idea of Love over Lust.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
I think there's only one and the main cause is money. Because no one grows up and says "I want to be a prostitute", I believe there are prostitutes because it is their last resort to pay the bills, get some clothes and feed themselves.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Never, because prostitution is not an occupation and it shouldn't be your last resort when your back is against the wall. People should also keep in mind that your body is sacred and should be given respect.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
We all have our own opinion on things. Also, I don't think this should be cause for great concern.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
According to CCC, homosexual acts are bad. What Manny Pacquiao said was his stand, in addition there could be many instances of homosexuality in the animal kingdom.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I would not vote for him based on this comment alone, but on everything he would do as a Hon. Manny Pacquiao. If he is going to do things to this country that I desire happen, then I would likely vote for him.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
Simply, like in #2, the CCC states that homosexual acts are evil, and that is what the CCC states. However, through Jesus Christ we can all be saved.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
1 Corinthians 6:11 states "And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God." and
1 Thessalonians 5:9 states "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,"
and Romans 3:23 states "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
All of us have sin, even the practicing homosexuals. We must all believe and ask repentance through Jesus Christ to attain salvation, for John 14:6 states "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Juan Miguel E. Caguiat; JD; cn:12 PART 2
ReplyDelete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Because people want to look at pornography,
it may be a source of income,
and there may be people who desire to exhibit their bodies for their pleasure.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
People could do it for money, pleasure, revenge, or a simple desire to.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Perhaps the closest Bible verse I could find about porn is Matthew 5:28 which states "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." And, the commandment "Thou shall not commit adultery." Solving the problem of porn would have to deal with making people not desire it; furthermore, watching porn may negatively impact your life and your relationship with God and others.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
There can be situations where the person is in need of money and has to resort to prostitution.
Secondly, people may have a desire to sell their bodies since it can give them pleasure.
Finally, they may be forced to commit acts of prostitution against the person's will.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Yes, John 8:7-11 states "And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” The woman referred to is in John 8:4 which states "They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act." Jesus did not condemn these people, so why should we?

ReplyDelete1. I respect Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao’s stand about the same-sex marriage issue. We are all entitled to our own opinions after all. Although, in my own opinion, he went below the belt when he compared the LGBT Community to animals. No one has the right to do so. He should’ve just stated that he is against the said issue and didn’t say anything other than that. He should’ve expressed his opinions in a more civil manner.
2. In the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage, Manny Pacquiao was making sense at first due to the fact that the Catholic Church is not fully supporting same-sex marriage. However, his comparison between humans and animals do not make sense at all.
3. If I am a legit voter of this nation, I will not vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao. Based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue, it showed how insensitive he is with his words. In order to win a government position, he should show the Filipinos that he is worthy through his good morals and dedication. For me, he should just stay with boxing because I don’t think he is ready to be involved with the senate.
4. As a Catholic, I totally respect the teachings of God. Although, I disagree that the members of the LGBT community are “intrinsically disordered.” In my own opinion, homosexuals deserve the same amount of respect and love that people give to the straights. In God’s eyes, we are all equal. No one should be poorly treated just because he or she isn’t straight.
5. I do not agree with the given passage stating that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven. Only the Lord knows who will enter the gates of His home. No one has the right to judge and say if a person will go to Heaven or Hell.
6. For me, Pornography is a reality due to attention, pleasure, and lustful desires.
Delete7. In my own opinion, I think people upload their sex video scandals because they want attention and are already desperate. Furthermore, I also think it is because they want to gain money and such.
8. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. We have the ability to make our own choices. If porn is something you don’t like then don’t watch it, simple as that. I believe that it’s a person’s right to do whatever they want to do. Although, in my own opinion, watching porn is sinful and destroys the sense of intimacy, which is a sacred and very important part of sex. It may lead to broken relationships and such. We all know how abusive and harmful pornography can be so if anyone wants to watch, he should be ready to face the consequences.
9. There are so many causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution). For example, they see this as their way out of poverty because they are unable to get jobs and are sometimes the only breadwinners in the family as well. Another reason is some get attracted by how much money they can earn. Lastly, there are circumstances that some people are just forced into prostitution against their will.
10. I think that prostitution should not be legalized in the Philippines. Legalization of prostitution will only legalize the abuses and exploitation within the system of prostitution. It only makes the existence of syndicates of human trafficking, child abuse and such, justifiable. Another reason is that it would further corrupt our society with the view of women as just sex objects.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I believe the we should respect Manny Paquiao stand about the LGBT community. We are all entitled to our own opinion in a certain argument. Although it is good to defend your stand, it still gave him no right to degrade the LGBT community in that manner. We are all children of God no matter what the sexual orientation.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
I believe that Manny Paquiao had a point with his stand in the video. He has a similar stand as the Catholic Church with regards to same sex marriage. He based his stand on the bible and the Church's definition of matrimony. Both are sufficient to back up his stand. Despite that, he still should have respected the LGBT community in his statements.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
If I was a legit voter of this nation, I would vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao. Even if his statements regarding the LGBT community were inappropriate, it still does not mean that he is incapable of leading. He had the courage to stand up for his thoughts and opinions, despite the fact that people would disagree. He was able to prove his stand with sufficient evidences. This is a quality of a leader that this country needs.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
I believe that Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357 has a strong point. They are contrary to the natural law and I cant argue with that. However, this does not mean that homosexuality is against nature. Being a homosexual and performing homosexual acts are two different things. You can be a chaste homosexual, which is acceptable. Whereas homosexual acts is unacceptable.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I agree with the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 because not only is it in the bible, thus making it the word of God, but homosexual acts is unacceptable. However, I am not saying the being a homosexual is wrong, but homosexual acts is intolerable. There have been various passages about the bible that condemns homosexual acts such as the story of sodomy. Therefore, the act is unacceptable.

- Satisfaction
- Pleasure
- Loneliness and/or boredom
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
There are many possibilities why people upload their sex video scandal. One reason os that it is a way ti earn money or to get something in return. Another reason could be that someone wants to destroy a person's image. They use the video to black mail a certain person. They could upload the video to damage the reputation.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Yes it is sinful because be watching it, it is like we are supporting pornography, which should not be the case. Pornography is sinful because it does grave injury to the divinity of a person. They become objects of pleasure and illicit profit for others. Therefore, must not be done.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- Desperate for money
- Lack of job opportunities
- Pleasure and/or statisfaction
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Prostitution should not be legalized because it does injury to the dignity of the person who engages in it. It reduces the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure. Not only is it immoral, but it would destroy the image if the country. I believe that it is not right to deteriorate the respect that people have, or they have for themselves.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- My personal reaction would have to be disappointed. Although Manny stated that he wants to stay true to his God, I believe that he should've been more SENSITIVE and UNDERSTANDING towards those in the LGBT community. There is a difference between RESPECTFULLY voicing out your opinion and INSENSITIVITY. Comparing a human, who was made in the likeness of God, to an animal would be completely disrespectful to the God we look up to and love so dearly.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- Manny has some interesting points and some of which are facts that our Catholic Church has not completely accepted the reality that there are some people who were made differently. But he needs to realise that this world is changing and that there are modern realities and a modern Church that now accepts what is evident in our world today.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- If I am to base my vote on ONE comment that a candidate has mentioned, then I would end up having no one to vote for. All candidates and ordinary people for that fact have made at least a mistake or two. The harsh reality is that you cannot please everyone. I believe that to be a "legit" voter and practice true democracy, it is within my morals to vote for a candidate based on their ability to make this country a better place. However, without bias, I do not believe that Manny has enough leadership skills, wisdom and knowledge to make this country less of the mess it is today.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- Personally, I had ventured into this topic once before with a former CL teacher of mine. She explained to me that it is merely the act of homosexuality that makes it wrong, NOT being in love with someone who is the same sex as you. What I would have to say is that is fair. The Lord created us to take care of his earth, to reproduce, by homosexual acts we are stopping this from happening. I think that it is okay to LOVE and CARE and EVEN MARRY someone who is the same sex, but once you venture into sexual acts, that's when it becomes a sin.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- Again, like I stated in my previous answer, I think the act of LOVING is not a sin, but the act of intercourse is.

Delete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Pornography is real because of three reasons:
A. Lust
B. Poverty
C. Personal Self-Esteem Issues (may it be family related or not)
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- I believe that is it poverty that causes people to upload them. This way, they get money without having to spend for anything.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- It is sinful because if you have respect for your own body, then you NEED to show respect for others' bodies. Pornography is not a way to do that.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Just the same as pornography's reasons:
A. Lust - They crave sexual intimacy
B. Poverty - They need money
C. Personal Self-Esteem Issues (may it be family related or not) - they were not raised in the correct environment
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- My answer would have to be a firm NO. Prostitution is just a way of letting men and women take advantage of the other men and women's bodies. This is not what God wanted us to do, there for it should NOT be legalised.
1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDelete- I was happy that Congressman Manny Pacquiao was honest on his own opinion about same-sex marriage, however I did not like the way he compared the LGBT community to animals
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound
- Yes, because his comments about same-sex marriage came from what it is said from the bible. Which means there is a reason to why he made that comment.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- If I was a legit voter of this nation, I will still vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao because even if his comment was not favorable to most people, he was not afraid to tell the people what was true based on what was written in the bible

- I believe that the law of the Catechism of the Catholic Church are doing what is right and taking a stand on one of the laws written in the bible. They made this law because it comes from the bible, therefore I stand with the Catechism on their Law against homosexuality
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- I am a very religious person ever since I was a child, and since this passage came from the bible itself, I agree that the practicing of homosexuals will not enter heaven. However if you are not a homosexual but you are sinful, that means that you will NOT enter heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Pornography is a reality because certain Individuals want to feel pleasure from themselves. Also sometimes experiencing this type of pleasure can also be addictive to some people
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- I believe people upload their sex video scandals because it makes them proud or it is used as blackmail to make other people do certain things in order to avoid the consequences.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- I believe that watching Porn is very sinful because it makes people more addicted to watching pornography which is wrong according to the bible. Personally I shouldn't watch any porn videos because it would only lead to Sin and regrets in the end
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- One is to gain income to live a decent life
- Second is to experience pleasure
- third is because of less job opportunities
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- NO, because prostitution is a not only very sinful but also a dangerous job. Prostitution cannot be a career for anyone because in the End all that the person will have is Sin and regret

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
In my personal reaction to Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao’s comments about anti same-sex marriage, I indeed respect his stand about such issue because all of us have our own opinions. However, the fact that he went below the belt and went way over the borders about him comparing the LGBT community to animals; I find it offensive and that’s too much of it since it was already leading to the downgrading of the community. We shouldn’t be doing such thing because the LGBT people are humans too and we shouldn’t make them feel like we don’t belong because God created all of us and we are all equal in His eyes whatever one’s sexual orientation is. We should be open and accepting.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
I think that he made sense with regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage since he was really trying to base it from the Bible, and having the supporting sufficient evidence for his stand. However, he could have watched his words and knew how to properly sort it out and said his opinion in a way that it won’t be offending the LGBT community.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
If I was a legit voter of this nation, I would probably not vote for him not because of his comment on the issue but the focus of his political background. Another is that, for me; I would be voting for him if there is sufficiency about his political background because the country really needs the greatest of the leaders in leading us and along with leadership comes the disciplinary and respect towards other people; with good and proper rationality.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
Basically, we shouldn’t call the LGBT community to be “intrinsically disordered”. We are all equally made in the eyes of God and being homosexual is NOT a disorder at all. This doesn’t make the homosexuals any different from anyone else because we are all human. Sexuality isn’t a sickness, or a disorder. It focuses on the orientation of the person. Again, we are all human and the worth of each of the individuals in the LGBT community shouldn’t be less than what they are because each of us are more than our own worth.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I do not agree with this because I strongly believe in how we are still the children of God and this doesn’t make us any different. God truly loves us. There is no way that homosexuals won’t be entering heaven just because of their sexuality. It won’t be hindering them from God since the only thing that can hinder them from entering the gates of heaven along with everyone else are the evil and bad acts that they will be giving in to.

6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
The three main reasons why this is a reality is because of how some people are after the fame, going for money and to satisfy their pleasure.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
The causes of why people upload their sex video is to gain so much attention and get money as well. One is also is to destroy the image of a person or maybe getting revenge and blackmail also.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Watching porn is sinful because this strongly affects the intimacy of the person and what supports this is the 6th commandment which is “Thou shalt not commit adultery”. This also ruins the integrity of the persons involved. In which, it can distort the idea of what human sexuality is as well. We should not watch a porn video because this is as mentioned, sinful; and it can change our drives and probably the lesser resistance we will have to our temptations. To solve this, we should promote and have strong encouragement to make people who do so stop doing such and for them to change their ways.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
The three main causes why people do prostitution are because of the great need of money, desperation to have a job opportunity and pleasure; since they either do it because of the desperation to gain money for living or some do it for the sake of satisfying sexual pleasures.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
In my opinion, I think that it shouldn’t be legalized because this will give the higher chances of abusing the legalization of it; in which, it can become really immoral and this can contribute to the disruption and distortion of the idea of human sexuality. Another thing is that, respect will lessen and the idea of people being objects for sexual pleasure will remain and that isn’t right at all.

- I was kinda shocked with what Manny Pacquiao said about animals being better than humans. I think he was just nit very careful with the words that he used and this offended a lot of people.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- I think he is making sense with what he said because he is just saying what the Catholic Church is teaching with regards to the topic of same-sex marriage. However, I do not agree with what he said that animals are smarter than humans because this is not true.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- If I am a legit voter of this nation, I wouldn't vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao. This is because I think we need a leader that sees everyone equally. We need unity for our country to progress and develop. Although he has a point with what he said, he still needs to treat everyone equally.

They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- I think that it is okay for people to have a different gender other than male and female because we are free to choose our gender. But I think that the Church is right when they say that they are against homosexual acts. This is because it really is against the natural law and it does not follow what God said which is to be fertile and multiply.

Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- I do not agree that homosexuals will not enter in heaven. This is because being homosexual will not stop them from being good and kind to others. There are even some heterosexuals who are very sinful. I do not think that being a homosexual is a sin which is why they can still enter heaven.

8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- I think that watching porn is sinful because it can be out under one of the seven deadly sins which is Lust. Watching porn will tempt can also tempt us to do more sinful acts. What makes porn sinful is that people are being treated as objects just to fulfill their sexual pleasures. Personally, I should not watch porn because it is bad and it is very disrespectful to God.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- One cause is poverty. Many people are in need of money so they think that this is the only way to get money for their families.
- Another is because they want to have sex
- some do it because it is they think that it is the only thing they can do with their lives
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- No, prostitution should not be legalized in our country because it is very disrespectful to God. People will be treated as objects. Another reason is that we are a Catholic country. We believe in God and we respect Him. We should treat each other like real human beings and not just objects for our own desires.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
-I believe what Manny Pacquiao said could've been said in a better manner in which he would not anger the LGBT community, as well as keeping a negatively-bound comment such as what he said to himself.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
-I believe that he is not making sense as he stated that the LGBT community is worse than animals, while the Church does not think lowly of the LGBT community. The Church is only concerned about the decrease of reproduction and procreation.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
-I would still vote for him, although I would be a bit disappointed in him as his comments were not that mature and not well thought through. Manny Pacquiao has represented our country and brought us glory and fame due to his acts so he would still be a good influence in terms of his previous actions. However his most recent actions does not embody the Philippines in any way, merely as a personal opinion only.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
-I would agree that homosexual acts close the gift of life as they cannot reproduce or procreate. Although in homosexual relationships sex is not main thing it revolves around, such as regular relationships. Relationships either homosexual or regular they must only revolve around the love the 2 people have for each other and not the act of sex itself.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
-I do not agree that homosexuals will not enter heaven, as many of the homosexual couples do not actually engage in the act of sex. It says in the Bible that only the act will disallow them from entering, as stated in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. We must come to realize that relationships and love do not directly equal to the act of sex.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
-lust, as people cannot contain their sexual feelings.
-money, as source of income for those struggling with money.
-popularity, as people do this to become famous and well-known.

ReplyDelete7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
-People usually upload their sex video scandals either because of revenge, blackmail or the feeling of lust for people.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
-Watching porn is sinful as it opens you up to becoming lustful and this could probably lead to you doing things which are immoral such as rape as you become filled with lusty desires. We could solve the problem of pornography by having proper censorship from the government as it would decrease the amount of people watching these kind of videos. For me personally I believe we should not as we should maintain our chastity, which includes the control of sexual appetite. By watching porn we give into our sexual appetite. Our chastity must be maintained as it helps us become better people and more moral.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-Money, as this is done in order to earn income.
-Sex is seen as a hobby or act people must engage in.
-Lack of jobs, this is seen as a job where people may earn money or income.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
-I believe prostitution should not be legalized and constituted in our country. This should not be so as it would open up to younger generations leading to the assumption of sex as something regular. This is wrong as the act of sex must only be for the purpose of procreation and reproduction and must only be done after the marriage. If we were to legalize this then what kind of values would our country be spreading around the globe? As well as our local communities? That sex should be a daily part of everyones life? No this shouldn't be the case as sex is wrongly depicted by allowing this to happen. Although even in the present day without the legalization of prostitution, sex is still depicted as only the act. Even though prostitution would open job opportunities, this is not proper as our government should make the job opportunities without creating negative influences and immoral actions.

I do not agree with what Congressman Manny Pacquiao said. I believe that there is nothing wrong with stating your beliefs and his only fault is for not choosing his words carefully
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
I believe that people have their own beliefs and they are allowed to stand by it. But they must remember to respect other people as well.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
First, I would not vote for Manny Pacquiao because he is a boxer not a politician. He is trying to step out of his area of expertise. And second I am pro LGBT so I would not vote him as he is a homophobe. But my vote would be based on his skill alone and he does not have the skill set fit for a politician.

I believe that we should not use the bible in order to hurt other people. God would want us to spread love and hating people because we do not understand them is wrong.

In God's eyes we are all his children and he loves us all equally. And he would want us all to be saved.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
1) Money
2) Lust
3) Addiction
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Sometimes people don't think before they act. Just because they are upset they will already resort to doing something that hurts people and that's why they do stupid things like this.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Yes it is sinful because it is lust and it takes away the purity from love. Lust is the focus not love and pornography just makes it wrong.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
1) In order to make money
2) Lust for the body
3) No choice but to do it
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No because our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and should be treated with dignity.

I think that Manny Pacquiao was too harsh because he said that animals are smarter than humans. Humans and animals were created by God differently but we all need to love each other.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
For me, he made a good stand on this topic but its the way on how he stated it that wasn't that good.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I would still vote for him despite of what he has said. People make different choices but it is all decided by themselves.

I disagree with this act because everyone is given the gift of love. Everyone should be respected on the choices they make even on this act.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I disagree because if you want to go to heaven then you should do good in all ways possible. Your gender should not stop you from entering the kingdom of God since we are God's creations.

2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
He made sense, but we aren't like other animals. We are made to be more intelligent, meaning we may explore more than animals. He is putting down the human race, including himself.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
It depends, because even if he is closed minded, his background on issues in our country is important as well. He needs to be a real leader with an open mind and genuine compassion for our countrymen.

I respect the Catholic Church and I know that I follow its teachings, and I understand what it is trying to say. However, as Catholics we must love like Jesus loves, even love the sinners. Respect all and love all as Jesus does.

God is a forgiving, kind, and merciful God, but that doesn't mean we should take advantage of it. If the Bible says so, then the Bible says so. It is the word of God and we cannot counter it because everything in the Bible is true. It's just a matter of interpreting it properly.

- People's hormones may go crazy.
- They lack sexual interest and are crazy for more.
- They are bored and don't have anything to do in their lives.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
They just want attention and they lack real inter course in real life instead of online. They are looking for love and satisfaction in all the wrong places.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Well watching porn itself is not sinful, it is not explicitly stated in the 10 commandments or in the Bible. However, when people watch porn for personal desires and satisfaction to their own body and hormones, that's when it becomes a sin. It becomes a sin of immorality and adultery.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- They desperately need money for a living.
- They want satisfaction in their lives so they sell their bodies to desperate people.
- They have no choice or they have nothing else to do.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No because even if it is a way of earning money, it should not be a result. Instead of legalizing prostitution, the government should provide more job opportunities and a safer community for both men and women to live in.

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti-same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
-Honestly, I respect his opinion regarding this matter – it’s just that I don’t approve of HOW he stated his beliefs.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
-Yes, I do believe that what Manny said has some correlation to the stand of the church. Without regard to how Manny said his beliefs, his viewpoint on the matter is similar to that of the church – “I do not disapprove of the LGBT community, but I disapprove of their sexual acts.” He still RESPECTS the LGBT community (same for everyone else), but it’s just that his faith in God comes first.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
-Well, it depends on the kind of person he is. In all honesty, I’m unaware of the on-going politics in our country, so I can’t say I have a proper basis on how Manny plans on leading our country/community. But I know that my decision to vote would not be swayed by a simple disagreement to an issue. This one statement does not define who Manny is, therefore I’ll vote depending on his intentions for the country.

They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
-Quite frankly, I disagree with this. It upsets me. The act of sex (or any sexual act) is the showcase of one’s love and faithfulness to his/her partner (assuming both persons are married to one another – if any other situation, this would not be the same case). Yes, sex is also done in order to reproduce but when it comes to two people with a different sexual orientation, what makes them different? “It cuts the gift of life,” but as soon as a girl is pregnant with an unwanted child, they have the option to cut the baby’s life short. What happens to this so-called “gift of life” now? Is that not abusing it?
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
-I don’t. It’s quite odd, really. Us, as Christians, chose to follow the teachings of the Bible and yet Leviticus 11:12 “Whatever in the water does not have fins and scales is abhorrent to you.” We still eat shrimp! Heck, tempura is even served in our school canteen. A reminder that DLSZ is a Catholic school as well. It we truly followed the Bible per word, per verse, this shrimp incident wouldn’t happen and we ALL won’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven. So I doubt that homosexuals would be denied the Kingdom of Heaven.

6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
-The sexual desire to pleasure one’s self.
-To build up one’s self-esteem through views, comments, likes, etc.
-To gain monetary value.
-To satisfy one’s unrelenting loneliness through sexual release and without actually impregnating anyone.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
-Like previously said, to build up one’s self-esteem and earn at the same time.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
-Well, for me personally, I don’t think watching porn is sinful. This is because: one, it doesn’t actually physically harm any of the two parties (the one who’s watching and the one who’s filming). Two, the reason why there’s porn in the first place is because the person who created the imagery/video has given his/her valid CONSENT to the whole ordeal to begin with. Both parties acknowledge this information, and continue to proceed with the act. I don’t personally believe that there’s any real solution to stopping pornography – this will be a continuous act that goes on and on, so long as technology exists.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-Desperation. The need for money becomes intense, and prostitution is (sadly) the last result for the person.
-Blackmailing. This is actually possible! A person has the power to push another person to prostitution due to a single image/video. Prostitution is simply the act of doing sexual acts in exchange for money. Even if a person if blackmailed, s/he is forced into doing sexual acts. The one in power can/will throw money on the other in order to make him/her feel bad, so in a way, this is prostitution.
-A person’s unsatiable want for sexual pleasure. A person personally volunteers to give in to the act of prostitution solely because s/he loves doing sexual acts. Most often times, these people have the mentality that this is a “win-win” situation since they’re having sex and are earning from it!
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
-Personally, I don’t think this should be legalized. No one should have to resort to prostitution due to the lack of money. Everyone should be given the chance to learn and earn the proper way. In a way that isn’t as humiliating and dishonoring.

ReplyDeleteWhat is your personal reaction to the anti-same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
Personally, I respect his opinion because he has a right to say have an opinion. However, the manner in which he said his opinion wasn’t right and affected many people. Not everyone takes comments and opinions the same way. He should have thought before he spoke.
Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
The Catholic Church has a very strong stand on being anti-same sex marriage and I think that he stood by what he believed in and what he had faith in. Maybe for him, religion comes first and what the Church says is what matters. I know that Manny has strong faith. So yes, I think he made sense.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I wouldn’t take his comment against him because he is also just a person and is allowed to have an opinion. I don’t think that his comment would affect him as a leader. But I think it will overall depend on who’s running against him and what the qualifications are.
According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
I am a devoted Catholic and I stand by what the Church says. People may have other opinions but this is mine. We often neglect the fact that the center and the foundation of all relationships should be Christ Himself because we should love like Christ loves. How can we say that Christ is the center of our lives if we are going against His saying and His will. People have different perceptions on this issue. But I personally stand by this comment.
In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
Personally, I do not agree with this passage because our Lord is a forgiving Lord. We commit sin everyday and the Lord continue to forgives us because He loves us so much. “By the cross we’ve truly been transformed.” God loves us so much that He’s willing to die on the cross to save us from our sins despite the fact that we go against His teachings.
What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
-people want attention
-to satisfy sexual pleasure and desire
-to use their bodies for income generating purposes

Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
-Personally, I think it depends on your intentions for watching it. I’m not saying that there is a right reason to watch porn but the thoughts incorporated into watching porn are bad. I don’t think that there is a solution to pornography but the best thing we can do it to educate young people to not engage in such acts. You shouldn’t watch a porn so that the site will stop getting higher ratings therefore you are doing your job to lessen the porn sites.
What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-income, desperation (circumstances of life), and lust. Sometimes, people get put into situations wherein they think that their last option is that “they have to” but in reality, there are so many other options. People do this because it’s an “easy” way to get money instead of having a decent job given their situation in life they aren’t well off. In terms of lust, this is only a very small fraction of people who choose to go into the industry because pornography is only for the viewers not for the actors.
Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- No, because this is going against God’s will and teachings. One’s body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and virginity should be saved for marriage and marriage means only one person.

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDeleteHe was clearly unaware that his comments offended the LGBT community. He had good intentions of simply answering the question asked of him; however, the way he said it made it sound like an insult. In the perspective of the LGBT community, I see how one would be offended by this. Nonethless, Manny Pacquiao apologized for his harsh comments while still explaining that he came from a perspective of a raised Christian, who believed in the words of the Bible.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
Yes, he cited a verse from the Bible to back-up his case. He has strong faith and he didn’t allow social norms sway what he believed in. I just wish that both sides can understand one another because I know that everyone in this situation is fighting for equal rights and shunning someone for voicing out their opinion is not something I’d like to see in today’s society.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I won’t take these comments against him because he made an honest mistake. I would vote for him but I have some restraints such as his capability and enough experience to qualified to hold a position such as congressman. Although, I would vote for him because of his ability to use his money on projects that the government wouldn’t have budget for.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
I think that from a Catholic point of view, this would make sense to me because it is said in the Bible that the reason for sexual acts is to procreate and multiply. And I know that homosexual intercourse isn’t one way to do that. However, I know that not all homosexual acts are from a lustful purpose, but for a way to further express and accentuate one’s love to his/her partner.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I don’t think one’s sexual orientation will dictate whether or not one will go to heaven. I believe that if you follow God’s commandments and express your faith and love into action, then you deserve a seat in heaven. God doesn’t discriminate and his merciful and loving heart always forgives and makes sure that those who deserve get to be with Him in His kingdom.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
DeleteI think one would be for sexual desire. It entices one’s imagination and fantasies that normally cannot be reality. Secondly, I think it is reality because it is a form of livelihood and an actual business/industry. Men and women are paid to be filmed this way and it is a form of income. Lastly, I think pornography exists as a form of temptation from the devil. I know that there are multiple forms of temptation and I’m starting to believe that this is one form the devil reveals himself to us.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Probably because of popularity and to be trending news, also just to simply be known. Like when someone says your name, you want the first thing they think about you is your sex scandal.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
I think it is sinful because sexual intercourse is a sacred and intimate activity that only you and your spouse can know of. Watching other people perform sexual acts violates the sacredness of procreation. Solving the problem of pornography is honestly very difficult because it may also become an addiction. It can be solved through strong evangelization and faith in the Gospel. Personally I should not watch a porn video because of the sacredness it violates as a couple.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
One would be poverty, with nothing but the clothes on your backs; it is hard not to resort to prostitution just to get by. Secondly, the lack of jobs causes one to resort to the quickest way to earn money and buy food for another day. Lastly, it would be one’s lustful desires to have sexual acts with just anyone.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Though it is normal for other European countries for prostitution to be legal, I don’t think prostitution should be legalized because our country is majority Christian and Catholic and we should stay true to our beliefs. Though it may be a good business in other countries, think about the negative effects such as spreading HIV and AIDS.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
* I think that Pacquiao's comment may have come off as offensive, and quite insensitive to people in the LGBT community, considering he is very big, influential figure that a multitude look up to.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
* I believe he has a point, as it is stated in the bible that it is of two opposite genders who may be able to join together in matrimony and procreate. However, he is also somehow disregarding how two people of the same gender can love each other.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
* I will probably not. I believe, as a Catholic, we are all called to genuinely love one another, though marriage, in the bible is not ideally intended for people of the same sex. However, faith aside, is hard to have a leader who cannot accept the idea of people loving each other just because of their sexuality.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
* I believe it is acceptable for those who are homosexual to love one another, but it may be immoral or against the Catholic faith/offensive to God to engage in the homosexual acts.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven?
* I believe that our God is a merciful God, and will not shun his sons and daughters for merely not loving and committing oneself to someone of the opposite gender that they are designed to love.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Delete* First, people have hormones which for many are uncontrollable— they lust for these things. Secondly, people do not value or treasure the act of procreation; many see this act as something for pleasure purposes. Third, people do not want to commit and wait until they can engage in sexual activity when they are married, so their turn to these lustful sources to satisfy themselves.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
* I believe these people do not value the gift of God's design in the idea of having sex— they have no value for true commitment to one partner, and therefore do not enter marriages. They do it for the pleasure and the money.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
* I think watching porn is sinful because it leads one to the deadly sin of lust. I can solve this problem by setting an example myself of not watching it, and encouraging my peers to live wholesome lives. I should not watch porn because it does not teach me to value the gift of sexuality and its act.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
* First, they do not see their body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, but rather as a tool. Second, they do not value their life itself anymore, and believe they have nothing else to lose; which is why, they easily give themselves to others. Lastly, life is hard these days, and many are desperate for easy money just to survive.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
* Most definitely not. I think this would increase diseases such as AIDS and HIV, and women in society will be treated as a tool and not given value by men. This just gives men an opportunity to able to disrespect and mistreat women, and leading the country to a downfall of sin astray from God.
