1.)I find his reaction to be quite appalling, but I take no grave offense for what he stated. I understand that he may be simply stating what his religion has taught him, no matter how many find his commentary to be barbaric and abhorrent. He will continue to stand through with what he believes in, of course, but I also have the choice and stand to care about it or not
.
2.)I believe that he has made sense of the matter with regards to the Catholic Church’s stand on same-sex marriage; From my hearing, I believe that he was condemning the act of homosexuals, not for the identity themselves. Although the matter is a talk of debate everywhere, his claim stands with the belief of the Catholic Church towards homosexual; that the church does not condemn the people, rather the act of engaging in sexual acts within homosexuals.
3.)As much as I respect him as a person together with his accolades, even with the fact that I understand his flaws and shortcomings and beliefs, I would rather vote for someone else who is pro-same sex marriage or someone who finds the matter as not too much of a disturbance since I believe that there are just as more crucial matters as this and thus they would pay more attention to these issues.
4.)In all honesty I find it quite disheartening to hear that homosexual acts are classified as abhorrent to the natural law of life and are considered as possibly one of the most malicious or heinous acts of life. I find it impossible for one to determine how their orientation their whole life goes, and to hear that they would be condemned if they were to go to “this path” then it may be seen as an act of restraining one’s freedom over life.
5.)No. Even if I don’t give much regard to the matter, the least I would say about it is that homosexual acts don’t seem to be the kind of action to bring you to Hell. Many use the story of Adam and Eve as basis for heterosexuality, the gift of life and the natural law and praise heterosexuality as a whole, but condemn the sight of homosexuality and only see it as a detriment to God’s creation.

6.)Pornography is a reality because there exists a number of people who simply cannot control their sexual desires and thus turns to alternate ways to find pleasure. Second, it comes off as a reality because some people live only for the feeling of satisfaction; Morals and principles don’t come into these people’s minds and thus pornography has come to exist. Lastly, pornography has become a reality and an industry even because it also gives off an aspect of income. Though the occupation itself is unusual and condemned by many, people who work in the porn industry have to do it for the money.
7.)In my opinion, I believe that it is not always the case that the personality themselves decided to upload such scandals to the media. There exist cases where journalists or media come to exploit a personality to gain ratings from its watchers and to “bring a little spice into everyone’s lives”. But, in the case that that person did upload it by themselves, it would be inferred that they feel proud of themselves or boost their ego. Nowadays people have come off to be very careless with the actions they do.
8.)I believe that watching porn may be considered sinful, no matter how many times or if one were to be pressured by peers to concede and follow orders. What makes the act of watching porn sinful is that they would be violating the vow of intimacy between 2 people, as I believe that activities such as intercourse are meant to be a private matter only and not a topic to talk about or watch. I personally believe that it is impossible to stop pornography as a whole since it has even become to be a working industry in today’s world. But, measures that can be done to “solve” the problem of pornography is to be vigilant enough to censor such material to inappropriate audiences and to youth. I’d rather not watch a porn video because I believe that there are better ways to satisfy one’s condition of getting satisfaction (other activities that DO NOT include sexual acts or intercourse) like engaging in hobbies or joining extreme sports.
9.)First and foremost, they sell their bodies because they need the money to live. In a world where not everyone’s economy is equal, people in some parts of the world even resort to unethical means of getting a source of income. This could also be blamed to the economy for not being able to handle jobs in a country well. Second, people go into prostitution because they may be coerced to do so by authoritative and abusive people; they feel as if they would suffer more if they don’t suffer the consequences of engaging in prostitution. Lastly, I believe that people may also come to doing prostitution because they enjoy the thrill of satisfaction and pleasure even to a stranger. So long as they are “feeling good” and feel the same after the act then they’ll continue to engage in prostitution,
10.)At this point I would say that, yes, prostitution should be legalized in our country. It has come t o my realization and acceptance that even the most scandalous of acts has become an industry in some countries (possibly counting ours) so the least we can do to alleviate the burden is to safeguard the people working in such industry. If prostitution was legalized, then prostitutes would be given the same set of working rights as any other working citizen and will be protected by any means of harm by their client. If prostitution was legalized, then prostitutes would not be afraid to approach the police for any matter of which they are abused by their client or boss. In this way, we would be able to hold a burden in our country right, and learn to not condemn people to death for the actions they did or did not do.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I was shocked that he had the face to say that in public and I felt bad for those part of the LGBT community because he referred to them as something 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.
He made sense in that view of things because the Catholic church does not tolerate the acts of homosexuals, but that's not what he was taking about.
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?
No, I would not vote for someone who thinks that part of this nation is worse than animals because, that is what he believes and if given the power, that is how he would end up treating us. Also, if he spends his time making rash comments on matters like this, I would rather vote someone that would be practical and I know would do something about the more important things in our country.
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 don't really know what to feel about this because, your sexuality does not define you. This does not change anything because, even now, there are many homosexuals, and even if there are a lot of them, over population still happens. It would not be so bad to accept those people because it isn't our decision wether we should exclude someone or not.
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.
In my opinion, I do not agree because, being a homosexual does not make you a bad person, or a good person. Your sexuality does not really define wether you do good or bad. You could be a straight person, but have the urge to kill or do bad things against others.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
I think that there is pornography because some people find pleasure in watching those kinds of acts, sex is taboo for those surrounding them, this industry provides money for those in the videos.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Some people may feel proud, some people use it against the other party, some people upload scandals of two completely different 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?
In my opinion, it is considered sinful because, sex should be more special and not something that anyone should just watch to get pleasure. I think if more people believed in this concept, pornography would stop or slow down/not be as active because no one would be interested. We should not watch these kind of videos because that act should be shared between two people only, and the act should be respected.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
This may be something to earn money from, something they are forced to do by others, or something they want to do.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, I believe it should not be legalized and something should be done about it. Some people may do prostitution because they like it but almost all don't and are just forced to do it.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I honestly believe everyone has the right to have their own stand and opinion about certain topics. Manny Pacquiao just stated what he was taught in his church and talked about his own opinion therefore I salute him for standing up for what he believes in.
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 is indeed making sense since all he did was give his opinion but the only thing wrong was that he compared the LGBT community to animals.
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?
Personally, I will not use this issue as a basis for voting for Manny in any way, simply to press on the issue of the separation of church and state. I will base it on my knowledge about Manny's background politically and the fact that he isn't active as a Senator shows that I should not 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.
Sex is marital act made man and wife, for the sole purpose of procreation. How does a man to man or woman to woman relationship perform sexual acts for procreation? Although, I still respect the LGBT community. I have no right to say what they should do because it is their own life to live.
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.
The bible is the word of the Lord which means I have no right to be against the Bible.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
1. People feel the need to feed their sexual needs.
2. People have no self control.
3. People don't know how to turn away from temptation.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I believe people do these things out of impulse and under pressure.
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 because it promotes pre-marital sex and like I said earlier, pro-creation should be between man and wife. To solve the problem of pornography, we must take away temptation and in order to do so, we must preach the word of the Lord to those who are unaware. Again, like I said it is a sin to watch a porn video or anything that promotes pre-marital sex.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
The things that lead to prostitution are poverty, abuse, and people who try to satisfy their sexual needs. When people are living in poverty, they tend to get desperate in terms of earning income therefore resulting to prostitution. Although, people should be flexible when it comes to earning income. Prostitution should never be a choice when it comes to earning profit.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, it should not be legalized because it promotes the idea of people being used as sex objects.

1. In my opinion, it was an immature act which Manny Pacquiao did. It's a good thing that he has his own stand on the same-sex marriage issue, but he could have worded his thoughts in a nicer and more sensitive manner. It is understandable that he is against the legalization of same-same marriage as every one is entitled to his or her own opinion, but it was his comparison of people to animals which made his statement receive negative comments.
2. It makes sense to me why he thinks that way, because everyone was raised in different means. He was raised to think that same-sex marriage is not the most advisable act to do, due to the fact that the Philippines is one of the more reserved Catholic countries, and Pacquiao was raised in the conservative way which lead to his opinions being that way.
3. If I were of legal age to vote, I would not vote for him. I wouldnt vote for him, not because of his thoughts on same-sex marriage, but because I believe that he lacks the qualifications as a government official. If I were a legal voter, I would still look past his statement because his thoughts on one issue does not define his capabilities as a leader; however, I still think that he was elected by the Filipinos merely because of his popularity as he is a professional boxer.
4. I believe that it is very homophobic and close-minded. As Catholics, we mostly refer to the things that Jesus taught us; he taught us to be accepting and love every one unconditionally, just as He loves us. These homosexuals are also people, they are also God's children, and they are also our brothers and sisters in Christ. To say that they are "intrinsically disordered" disheartens me, because it is not their fault. They were born to love, just as everyone else was. I believe that love is universal and unconditional, and it should not be limited to man with a woman. As to the statement which says that homosexual acts are anti-life, I believe that this is also a mistake. It is mostly the homosexual couples who adopt the children who were left by their biological parents, and raising them as their own is very much pro-life as well as pro-love.
5. Homosexuals could enter Heaven, in my opinion, depending on how they live their lives. I believe that homosexuals may still enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but I think that those who undertake in sexual intercourse before marriage would first go to Purgatory. Even if the people are homosexuals, they would still enter Heaven, but it would also depend on how they are as people; their sexual orientation would not determine whether or not they would enter God's Kingdom, rather what they do while they are still alive.

6. Pornography is a reality because it provides excitement for some people, it is addicting for others, and because there is such a thing as sexual freedom. People use pornography in order to practice their sexual freedom, which talks about how people have the right to express and discover themselves through their sexuality.
7. There are many possible reasons as to why people would upload their own scandals. Those who upload may have the objective to embarrass others, to serve as a pastime, or to "entertain" or arouse the viewers.
8. I think pornography is sinful because it violates the couple's privacy (if they are unaware of their intercourse being videoed), and it could also lead others to committing unchaste acts and thoughts. It's sinful in my opinion due to the fact that it lessens the importance of the actual sexual act when married. Pornography belittles the value of sex, and it also leads the man or the woman to commit unwholesome acts and thoughts. In order to solve this problem, the men and women who watch must further discipline themselves to control themselves, and those who create the videos must be fined/punished since it is also their doing.
9. Prostitution is still a profession in modern times, because it is an "easy" way to earn money, it ensures the person with said profession that he/she would be able to sustain his/her own needs as well as the needs of his/her loved ones, and it could also be something that one is forced or threatened to do.
10. No, I think that prostitution should not be legalized in the country. If this country, which is composed of mostly Catholic citizens, would not legalize same-sex marriage which in fact promotes universal love due to the prohibition of sexual intercourse (as it is "anti-life"), then why would it legalize sexual intercourse between strangers? Legalizing prostitution in the country would also lead to cases on adultery, teen pregnancy, and allowing this profession to be legal would also entail that abortion and contraceptives be legal as well. In short, legalizing prostitution would be a great step backwards for the country since it would cause much disorder and it would also violate the many teachings of the Church.

- He was very straightforward on giving his opinion. What he said could be offensive to the LGBT community since he compared them to animals, but it’s still an opinion and I think that we should all respect him regardless of what he said.
2.
- His opinion made sense, and his example made it clearer for other people to understand his point. Although, he should’ve been a bit more sensitive for the LGBT community by not comparing them to animals.
3.
- No. Although he expressed his opinion on same sex marriage, I personally think that he doesn’t make good qualifications as a government official based on his previous reviews as a congressman. His opinion on same-sex marriage won’t be my basis of voting for him, i will consider getting to know him more through his job as a government official instead.
4.
- It makes sense and I agree with it. Although, society nowadays changed a lot compared to before and it’s now more considerate and welcoming. I think that the Church should alter their laws on this especially because same-sex marriage is now legal in a lot of places around the world.
5.
- Not really because they are still human, therefore, they are still children of God. The Lord is forgiving and being homosexual is sometimes an inborn so the person doesn’t really have a choice on being who they really are. They can enter heaven depending on how they lived their lives on earth. If they did not commit mortal sins and if they lived their lives as moral christians, then they deserve to enter heaven.
6.
- It earns people money
- It serves as entertainment
- It satisfies other people’s sexual desires
7.
- Probably because they seek attention from public media or in some cases, people do it to get famous.
8.
- I think it is sinful because sexual acts are supposed to be done in private and among married couples only. God made sex for us to reproduce, not flaunt our bodies in front of millions of people. Our body is a temple and we should treat it with great respect.
- I this can be solved if pornography sites and pornography actors will stop getting paid for what they do, or have the internet ban porn sites completely.
- We shouldn’t watch porn because it enables us to lust on other people which is wrong. It also becomes a temptation for others to commit sexual acts even though they aren’t supposed to.
9.
- They’re in desperate need of money, they probably lived in poverty, thus they’re uneducated and cannot have a proper job.
- They’re forced to do it by their families and/or friends. In able to earn profit
- They do it for their own sexual satisfaction
10.
- Absolutely not. It’s a very inappropriate way of earning money and should not be legalized. It will also give a bad image for the Philippines if the other countries find out that we’re a Catholic country and prostitution is legal here.

ReplyDelete1. My reaction is that it is ok to say his own opinion about the topic. He has the freedom to express what he thinks. However, i don't think that it is alright that he compared humans with animals because God created us and no one is above another so I really think that it was unneccesary to say about the animal part.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, I think he makes sense because the Church is against same-sex marriage, and he feels that it is truly wrong.
3. Yes, because he represents a true Christian.
4. I think that same sex marriage should never be allowed because it defies the natural law.
5. I think that just being homosexuals you cannot enter heaven, for me it is the act of marrying that should not be tolerated. You can express your love but not marrying your same sex.
6. First, PMS is not allowed in the country so teenagers tend to watch pornography. Second, you can earn money. Lastly, people cannot control their sexual desires.
7. Because it earns them money and popularity.
8. Yes, because it is a selfish act. To solve this porn sites should not post anymore of this.
9. Earn money, forced to do it, achieve sexual desire
10. No becuase it is against God's law.
1. I think that there is nothing wrong with what Congressman Manny Pacquiao has to say because he is expressing his own opinion about the topic. The media asked him for his
ReplyDeleteopinion and stand about it, so they should just accept what he has to say. Although it might attract and create a lot of commotion esspecially between the LGBT, I stil think it is
correct that he voiced out his opinion however, there is one thing in what he said. He compared the people in the LGBT to a dog which is wrong.
2. In a sense, what he said was correct since the church was always against same these type of relationships however the church allows the relationships and marriage but they dont allow same sex intercourse
3. Voicing out his opinion and calling the members of the LGBT and others alike a changes my pinion of Congressman Manny Pacquiao because even if he has always supported our country, he still did something wrong
4. In my opinion, same sex marriage is wrong because having a relationship between them is fine and all, however, marriage is a sacred sacrament that bonds two of the opposite genders together.
5. In my opinion, even if they are in a same sex relationship, they are still eligible to enter heaven however, performing same sex intercourse will stop you from going to heaven.
6. It becomes a reality because premarital sex is not allowed in our country so teenagers and alike are more prone to these types of things. Many girls are victim to these type
of job because of money problems. And lastly, people cannot control their sexual desires which leads to more money for the producers.
7. They want to show that they are popular and willing to share. It shows that many of the people today are very careless of their surroundings
8. It is sinful because, we are blinded from the true reality of sex. It shows that we are not worthy of the pureness that God has given us. If I was given a chance to solve the problem, I would discourage people to stop watching porn.
Personally, I would stop watching since its bad for my overall well being.
9. To earn money, achieve sexual pleasure, forced to do it
10. No, because it would lead to many problems. We would think lowly on the girls of the country because they continuously participate in pornography.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I personally think that he is entitled to his own opinion, and while it is narrow-minded, it is still what he believes, and he is simply stating his beliefs because he was asked.
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 is right in that the Church was always against these kinds of relationships, but he is wrong in that now the Church says that same sex relationships are okay, but only the sexual acts performed by homosexuals is wrong.
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?
No, because it is a narrow-minded belief that puts down other humans to the level of mere animals that we slaughter and kill for sport and food. I will not stand for someone who believes such a thing.
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 personally think this is wrong, since even in nature, there are cases of homosexuality. If it happens in the wild, out in nature, how can it be against the natural order?
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 believe that this is true. Even if one were to be the holiest person on earth, if they commit even one grave sin (which homosexuality is described as), they will be denied entrance to heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
1. Provides sexual excitement
2. Provides income
3. Is very widespread and can be found almost anywhere in the world
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Mostly, the reasons are personal, and vary between people. One reason can be that the ones in the video had a fight, and one of them uploaded the video as a means of revenge. Another can be to gain fame/infamy on the internet.
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 it violates the intimacy of sexual intercourse by showing it to the world. I personally believe that pornography itself cannot be solved, since sex is a base desire that not everyone can resist. The watching of porn can lead to the actual committing of sexual actions that are prohibited before marriage.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
1. It provides an easy way of earning money, because one does not need to be educated to be a prostitute.
2. There are situations where prostitution is the only option to stay alive.
3. Some people do it simply for the pleasure, with the money being earned being a side reward.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
I personally think that it is not an issue of legalizing it or not. It will happen whether we like it or not, and legalizing it is only a form of acceptance of this truth. But personally, I believe that it should not be legalized, as it would degrade the very being of those who become prostitutes.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I do not think that Manny Pacquiao's statement was said at the right time or at the right place. Because he is running for senator he should know that there is a separation of state and Church, he should be careful in implying his beliefs because the Philippines is not 100 percent Christians. Secondly he shouldnt compare humans with animals because God created us in His image and not of any other animal.
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 do believe that he is making sense and I agree with what the Catholic Church stands for which is to not allow the sexual act but not the partnership of homosexuals.
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 because as a government official he will need to represent the Philippines as a whole, not just the Catholics but also the non-believers and homosexuals.
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 the sexual act itself between homosexuals is not correct because it is considered selfish but I stand firm with the idea of allowing them homosexuals to have chaste relationships with whomever they please.
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 believe that homosexuals do not enter heaven, Jesus Christ died so ALL may enter heaven when the day comes. I believe that being homosexual is not a sin and whether or not you enter heaven depends on how you spend your life here on earth.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Pornography is a reality because people pre-marital sex is frowned upon in our country so people look for alternatives, secondly it is a way of getting money, and third people cannot control their sexual desires.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I think people post their intimate moments such as their sex videos to get attention and for 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?
Watching porn is sinful because it is selfish. I believe that to solve this problem you have to educate the people and give them REAL job opportunities.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Money is hard to come by in this world especially when you are uneducated and you have no connection to the Catholic Church to teach you what is right.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No it should not be legalized because it is unjust and should not be tolerated.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I understand and respect his stand regarding the situation and I see that he bases this from his beliefs as a Christian.
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 what he said did make sense because it does reflect the teachings of the Catholic Church, though it could have been worded differently.
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 think it takes guts to say what he said in public, so I would like to vote for someone who speaks his/her mind and what he/she believes in, without paying mind to those around him/her.
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 see that this statement was made with the idea of survival on mind. Procreation to continue the human race makes sense, and homosexual acts naturally do not bear children, so I see how the Catholic Church is against such 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? Comment.
I agree that the if the act of homosexual sexual intercourse in done, it is sinful, but I do not think that having the homosexual attraction or a homosexual relationship by itself deems you unworthy of entering heaven's gates.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Lust, Curiosity, Lack of happiness
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
They upload to garner attention and the spotlight.
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. It inhibits our ability and nature of growing in our love for others because it is a very selfish act.
By making people aware of what a waste of time pornography is and how much God loves us, we might be able to stop this problem.
I should not partake in this act simply because it is a sin that God frowns upon.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Poverty - Sells sex to survive
Satisfaction - Some seek thrill through sexual means
Lack of privilege - No education means it's hard to come by a job
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
I believe prostitution should not be legalized for it is detrimental to the human body and it makes a mockery of God's temple which lives within us.
1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDelete-I was surprised as how such a respected and idolized person like him would say things like this to degrade other people. I find it disrespectful for him to refer to the LGBT community as lower than animals, because God created us all equal, and we are created in the image of God, we should not bring others down.
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 was right about saying that the Church is against same sex marriage, but he was against all LGBT people here and not just the marriage part of it.
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?
-No, I would not vote for him because if he cannot see our LGBT citizens as human beings, then what kind of leader would he be? What leader treats his followers as even lower than pets.
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.

-I don't really know what to feel about this because having a different sexuality doesnt make you less of a human being. We must accept everyone for who they are.
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.
-In my opinion, I do not agree because, being a homosexual does not make you less of a person. God all loves us no matter what. He loves us all equally, and he forgives us for any sin we have committed.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
-I think that there is pornography because there are people, like Nihilists, who only think about the pleasure in life.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
-Maybe for money, maybe for fame, but all of these reasons are basically just selfish acts
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 hinders us from being sexually pure. God gave us seed for multiplying. Masturbation is sinful. Pornography can be stopped with strong self control.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-selfishness
-laziness

They resort to this because there it is an easy way to make money and it is even considered the very first occupation because of how easy it was to make a lot of money.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I am shocked that he would describe a fellow human being as less than an animal, he had no right to say such things about another person, and in public no less.
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 that the Catholic Church does not approve of homosexual acts but his answers were an entirely different matter.
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 based on his comment on same-sex because how he worded his opinion showed a lot on his character. I cannot vote for a person who would treat a fellow being that way, and if he actually had the power to do such things who knows what might happen.
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.

I actually know for a fact that many same-sex couples wish for a child and thus either adopt or hire someone to carry their sperm. I also know that there are many heterosexual people in this world that do not wish for children, isn't that more against the gift of life?
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 because being a homosexual doesn't make you sinful, you're still a normal human being who would get judged based on wether you do bad or good things.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
I think Pornography is a reality because of the public's own pleasure at watching those kinds of things. Another reason would be because currently, the industry nowadays is more centered around sex, wether sexuality gender or the act. Lastly I think it's because of the actors' need for a way to provide for themselves.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I guess it's because they want attention on themselves and uploading their sex scandals can give them that. Or maybe it's because they want yo humiliate the other person in the same video as them for some reason.
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 its sinful because the act of sex should be something special shared between two people, not something to be shared with the whole world to see. I think that pornography would stop if the public is convinced that the whole concept of pornography is not right. Pornography should not be watched because it is basically invading the privacy of people in a moment that is supposed to be intimate and special.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
It's always either they need the money to provide for themselves, they are being coerced by another person because they did something, or they want the attention.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No because it would show that there is no respect for another's body, that there is no respect to oneself or to others as humans. Because most people probably didn't want to enter prostitution. Because it's not right.
1. I strongly believe that everyone is entitled to have their own opinion and thoughts. Even though his opinion may be offending to some, I say that he’s just expressing what he believes.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, his opinion made sense but the arrogance in his voice and his comparison of the LGBT community to animals was very much offending.
3. Opinions are there for everyone. Manny stated an opinion but I don’t think it would affect the way I would vote. Although, it makes me second guess on voting for him since he may not know how to have a filter and have a way with words when it comes to the media.
4. Sex is a choice for each person. Sometimes even couples of the opposite sex choose not to have children yet they aren’t frowned upon. The LGBT community should not be disregarded of the fact they wouldnt be able to procreate but they still have the right to love. Love is all that matters.
5. If its whats said in the bible then I have no right to argue.
6. It’s a way to satisfy their sexual needs, temptations and there is no self control.
7. It really depends on the person. There is no specific reason why.
8. Yes its considered a sin. It’s a selfish act of satisfying a person’s sexual desires. To solve the problem, just try your hardest to keep your mind off of something like that and turn away from temptation.
9. Prostitution happens a lot. People end up doing mainly because of lack of money, personal desire or they have nothing else to do with their lives.
10. No. It takes the self respect away from a person. It also makes people out as sex objects when they’re not.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I think Manny just stated his opinion and I support our legend 100%. However he could've stated his opinion in a better way but the man has already apologized so he should be forgiven.
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.
After his explanation that he was merely talking about the act, I agree and believe in what he said whole heartedly simply because I too believe that the act of having sex man to man or woman to woman is more than wrong and it goes against God's teachings.
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?
His statement would not affect my decision simply because it was his opinion and we should respect it just like he respects the LGBT community.
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 correct and I support that particular rule because it goes against what God has taught us and it is not morally right to do the act. It too disrespects the value of the 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.
No I do not believe this because I believe that in the end God forgives everyone, it is just our job to be the best we can.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
This is because there is no guidance. Because people are not taught properly. Because people think it is true.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I think it is a trend, they do it because other people do it or they do it to brag about what they have achieved.
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 personally do not believe it is a sin until we have commitments to other women because it becomes disloyalty if a commitment is present. The only way to help solve it is to teach the younger generations properly.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Because it gets good money. Because it is easy to earn. Because they were not properly guided.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, it is wrong simply because it disrespects women (and men) and we should never disrespect women.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- I dont think there is anything wrong with what Pacquiao did since he was just expressing his own opinions.
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 made sense because it is his own opinion and so he must defend it with examples which he did just like in the video. He should have been careful with his choice of words though.
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?
- No because for me he does not have the traits to become a good president of this country. Though he expressed his feelings towards gay people, if he becomes president of the country he has to treat everyone equally and I doubt he will be able to do that based on what he said.
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 am for this and I have nothing against it. Homosexual acts are anti life that is 100% true but by being merely a homosexual without sex with another homosexual is not anti life. The church does not condemn homosexuals because for the fact that they are also humans; however, the church condemns the sexual act between homosexuals. KNOW the difference.
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 God is a merciful and loving God which means homosexuals are still children in His eyes. They are still God's children and therefore loved by him. Only when these homosexuals commit sin just like the rest of us is when they may be hindered to inherit the Kingdom of God.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Money
- Pleasure
- Fame
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- Really????? Maybe because they seek attention or "trip lang nila".
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 sexual acts between two opposite gendered persons should be done in private and not shown to the whole world. God gave us this gift and if they show it to the whole world they are abusing God's gift.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- Money
- Own Sexual Satisfaction
- Forced (Syndicates, just like the one in Taken the movie)
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- Nope because simply it is inhumane and our body is the property of the Lord and not anyone else.
Julia Brago JE
ReplyDelete1. Manny Pacquiao is not the first to compare homosexuals with animals. I think that this issue became controversial because its coming from an world renowned athlete, who is also running for position. However, it still isn't right to compare anyone to animals. I think that yes he was entitled to his own opinion, but he didn't have to declare it in the way he did. Manny, as someone who stands firmly by his religion, should have been more sensitive with the people who could've been affected.
2. Yes, I understand Manny Pacquiao and his points. We cannot remove the fact that the God planned for men to marry women and not the same genders. What doesn't make sense is why people cannot respect the separation of the state and the church. Manny may have defended his faith and religion, but at the sane time, defeated its purpose.
3. No I will not vote for Manny Pacquiao, not just because of his comment on the issue, but because he doesn't have a background in the field he's looking to work in. After all, you shouldn't judge a person by their mishaps.
4. I think that nobody has the right to dictate who you get to love. While yes the reason for the sexual act is the gift of life, it shouldn’t be used as a way to discriminate others for who they think and know they are. I think that love is okay, no matter what gender, as long as the intentions are good.
5. Knowing that everything changes, I think that agreeing to this passage would take more than thinking. Although the thought and basis is there, it is not right to be less compassionate towards people who do not have the same sexual orientation as you.
6. People get tempted. It is used as a “job” and as a mean of entertainment. Lastly, it helps satisfy their sexual desire.
7. To ruin other people’s reputation.
8. watch porn because I have far better things to do, its sad to think that people watch porn just because they are tempted.
9. People sell their bodies because it is an “easy” way to earn money. Some people may be forced to do it as well. Lastly, they sell their bodies because they too want pleasure, for fun.
10. No it should not be legalized in our country because it will look like we are a country full of uneducated people. It promotes the wrong message, that the sexual act should be done just for fun, and not for gift of life.

ReplyDelete1. I honestly don't know what to feel about Manny Pacquiao's comments on same-sex marriage. Even if he said that animals are better than two people of the same sex getting married, which is rude to be honest, but he also has a point in saying that.
2. God made man and woman to procreate more of His image and likeness. Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao was just restating something from the bible. I believe that what he did was brave because he was just stating his opinion. He wanted everyone to know what he felt about the situation. Manny Pacquiao isn't against gay couples. He's just against same-sex marriage because he believes that marriage is for love and procreation. People shouldn't bash him without knowing and understanding his point of view. That's what he believes in, respect him.
3. I will vote for him not because he is a God fearing man but because I know that despite his rude comment on same-sex marriages, he has done wonderful things for our country. He took part in making our economy progress. With his supporters around the world, our country was put on the map and more people started recognizing our country and the beauty of it. I will also vote for him because he stands up for what he believes in. He doesn't care about what would happen to him just as long as he reminds his people about God's teachings.
4. In my opinion, gay couples are fine and they don't mean any harm to the teachings of the bible. It just happened that they fell in love with someone of the same sex. Homosexual acts are alright. Most gay couples are even willing to adopt orphans, which would really help all the children have their own family and proper education. So i think that the church would have to tweak the rule on homosexual acts and activities.
5. I disagree with this because love is everlasting. Homosexuals actually take care of the children who do not have someone to guide them. I praise them for that. Homosexuals are kind of like saviors because the pick up the children who are dropped by their actual parents and they help them rise to succession. Most homosexuals have saved lives and they are heroes to me. Heroes go to heaven.

6. The first reason is because the act of sex is shown in pornography and that is the act of procreating. Second reason is because sex is the act of love. The third and last reason is because it shows that those situations are possible in real life.
7. In my opinion, people upload their sex video scandals because they want everyone to know that he/she is having fun and that she/he is flaunting her relationship to everyone. People also upload their sex scandals for revenge.
8. Watching porn is very very sinful in my opinion. It is sinful because you are watching two people acting and doing something that only lovers should do, specifically married couples. People should just stop making porn because sex is an act for procreating and an act of love. Porn is made with actors and actresses who don't really know each other and they're only doing it for the money. You shouldn't watch pornography because the act if sex should only be done when the couple is happy and married. Marriage is the one that ties two people together; making them one. Sex another knot and also making them one. I think that the act of procreating should always be treasured but seeing that some people watch pornography would mean that one day, they would get sick of it just because they some of them watch it everyday, which is actually really sad and lonely.
9. One main cause why people sell their body is to raise money for themselves and for their families. Another cause is because they can't get a job. The final reason can be because they are threatened or something.
10. I don't think prostitution should be legalized in our country because everyone's body is different and unique and should be treated as art. Prostitution is like another way of treating people as trash and they are wasting their bodies. God said na we should all take care of our bodies until we all pass away.

ReplyDelete1. I was not surprised of what Manny Pacquiao said, as everyone has their own opinions in different matters. We should also respect other's opinions whether they are correct or not.
2. Scientifically, he did not make sense as there are some species that practice homosexuality (ex. Japanese Macaques) thus, making his statement invalid. But if you evaluate according to the thought he is trying to say, he did make sense as that is what God's plan for us was; to reproduce.
3. You cannot really judge a person by one statement that he said, but if i was to base it on his comment, i wouldnt because he is not showing care for people who are part of the LGBT community. Also because he is comparing animals to humans, which is bad.
4. This comment states the truth, as we were put on this earth to reproduce. Homosexual ACTS are anti-life and is sexually immoral as there is no life being created and is only done for the sake of lust.
5. I think that practicing homosexuality will not prevent you from entering heaven. God created all of us and gave made us what we are. Homosexuals have no choice in it and choose to accept and embrace what God has given, but practicing sexual immorality and homosexual acts is wrong.
6. Pornography is real because of the people's inability to resist temptation. Temptation leads to sin, and this specific sin is lust, which is one of the deadly sins but is one of the hardest to overcome with pornography's existence.
7. My thoughts are that they probably uploaded it by accident in some complicated way. Another cause can be a messy relationship that ended which caused hatred between the two.
8. I think that it is sinful. We were put on this earth to reproduce, not watch people reproduce (without actually creating life) for self pleasure. Removal of technology would solve the problem on pornography. Personally, we shouldnt watch porn simply because its sinful.
9. I dont exactly know their reasons, but as a male who doesnt plan on selling their body any time soon, i think that it's because of poverty. However, it might also be because they like the pleasure that they recieve.
10. I dont think it should be legalized. They are harming their self esteem by selling themselves like theyre just a toy, which is sad because everyone is equal and in the end, theyre humans too; not toys. Also, it shouldnt be legalized cause its sexually immoral.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- I respect his opinion but he didn't have to compare the LGBT community to animals. Although we were given the freedom of speech, it is important to watch your words in relaying a message to the public, especially now that he is a government official.
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 makes sense that it is stated in the bible that we must multiply, and for us to multiply, we must have sexual relations to the opposite sex. That's what is stated in the bible that that's what he believes. As I've said in the past question, while it is a right to state beliefs, he should've watched what he said because it offended a lot of people.
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 believe that each and everyone of us have different opinions regarding this matter. If I had the chance, I'd still vote for him because he stands strong on what he believes. He believes in Jesus Christ and in my opinion, that'll reflect on his duties as a government official. He will stand strong on what he believes is right - he just needs to work on watching what he says.
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 do not agree with the statements above. Although it is that that it is impossible to multiply by having sexual relations with the same sex, I believe that they still give the same amount of love - sometimes, they show more love than other homosexuals do. We must learn to respect them and treat them equally. Being attracted to the same sex doesn't make them less of a human.
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.
- Our God is a good and understanding God. The immoral acts of homosexuality is what keep homosexuals from entering heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Money
- Pleasure
- Fame
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- They are uneducated. They think that uploading video scandals will make them famous and rich fast.
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 the act of creating pornography and posting it online for everyone to see is a sin. Like what Sir Cloyd stated in a class, the act of sex is something that must be taken seriously because it is the creation of a child of God. This must not be abused by posting it online for people to watch to earn pleasure. Watching pornography is strongly discouraged because it changes the viewers' perspective and meaning of sex, in addition to that, it abuses God's gifts.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- Fast money
- Lack of education
- Personal satisfaction
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- No, it shouldn't. People shouldn't resort to selling their bodies for men/ women who want pleasure. It is abusing the boy, which is a temple of God.
1.In my honest opinion, Manny Pacquiao was just standing his ground and his basis on his religion, and that everyone has the right to say what is on their mind, but the way he said it was uncalled for and he could have said it in a more discreet and professional manner.
ReplyDelete2.For me he makes sense because he was just following what it his religion says, but like what i said, the way he said it was unprofessional because he compared the LGBT community to animals.
3. I will not vote for Manny, because he should’ve just stayed in boxing. He has no proper background on being a politician and we Filipinos shouldn’t base our vote on how famous they are.
4. Sexual act is simply for reproducing life, man to man and woman to woman intercourse won’t make life at all.
5.If the Bible says so, who am I to counter it.
6.people find it entertaining, it satisfies the people who view it, and simply because people have no control over their emotions.
7. they do such because they need attention and they give their own sexuality just to get such attention.
8.Yes because it is not catholic-like, and it promotes that sex is a normal thing to do. make the government ban them from the servers
9. prostitution happens because some women have no more choice but to do it because its already their livelihood, some are just forced by their parents to earn money and some do it for the pleasure
10. No, it should never be allowed because like what i said, its promoting that sex is a normal thing to do

ReplyDelete1. I believe that while his idea was there, but his way of expressing it was very rude and disrespectful towards the LGBT community
2. His idea was there and in line with the teachings of the Church, but his wording was very distasteful, comparing the LGBT people to animals, when they are humans too, just like us.
3. I would not vote for him based on this comment because it is a rather extreme and disrespectful comment, however I would still need more basis if I would not want to vote for him.
4. I agree with homosexual acts being anti-life however to say those acts do not come from a definite love between the two is not exactly true because they are humans who are still capable of loving another, and the act is another form of expressing their love for another
5. I feel that it is unfair to say that a homosexual cannot enter heaven because they are homosexual. It is like you are disregarding all the good deeds they have done in their life because of something that they may not have full control in.
6. - Money
- Lust
- Attention
7. They want to become internet famous and gain a lot of attention, like Kim Kardashian
8. Yes it is sinful because you are degrading the gift of sexuality which was given to us by God. Pornography can be stopped if everyone can control their sexual urges.
9. - Money, they sell their bodies for "Pleasure" in exchange
- Lust, they are addicted to the "pleasure" of sex
- Free job opportunity, because there isn't a required education you have to take
10. It should not be legalized because prostitution is destroying the sacred and private unity of two people through the sexual act, degrading it to an act whose value can be determined in money and can be casually taken
1.What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao?
ReplyDeleteI think it is fine that he was just stating his opinion on the matter but how he stated it seemed pretty offensive
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.
The church believe that the sexual acts are wrong but the people aren't whereas Pacquiao believes that homosexuals as people are wrong.
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?
No because that was pretty rude in regard to homosexuals. He could have been at least more considerate for the homosexuals.
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 don't agree with it because i don't think homosexuals are wrong because they are just doing what they enjoy.
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 know for I am not the one who chooses who goes to heaven but i think they should be able to.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Can make you money
- People enjoy it
- It gives pleasure for people
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
They probably want 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?
It is because the church dislikes it and because people get bad thoughts. I shouldn't watch a porn video because its bad.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-they need money
-theres a demand for it
-its easy
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
I think that as a public figure, what he said was very irresponsible. There are ways for him to express his stance in a non offensive way however he instead insults the whole LGBT community by comparing them 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.
What he said was his opinion and it was most likely influenced by his religious beliefs. So it makes sense that he would have this opinion if he was raised as a Christian.
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?
No, because not only does he insult a whole community but in doing so he also shows how ignorant and downright idiotic he is as a public figure; no intelligent public figure would use the words he used and appear as if he is attacking the LGBT community.
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 as time goes by even bible passages are lost in translation. Just as the Church changed it's stance on slavery, it will change again.
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, because when homosexuals do homosexual acts, they do not hurt anyone. Heaven should be an award for doing good and if a gay person is a good person, they're sexuality should not stop them from going to heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Demand, Sexual Urges, Money
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
The want to hurt their other
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 against the church. You cant solve it. Cause its bad
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Money, cause money isn't easy to come by. It's easy. There is a demand for it.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, it's bad and the church hates it.

ReplyDelete1. I think Hon. Congressman Manny Pacqiao is just stating his opinion and that everyone has the right to their own opinion.
2. In the view of our religion, Manny Pacquiao makes sense because as one of the teachings in the bible said, specifically sodom and gamora, we have to respect our sexuality and never commit homosexual acts.
3. If I had a chance to vote, I would rather vote for someone else. Even though he is just stating his opinions, he did not give respect to people who are homosexual. I would rather vote for someone who respects the LGBT community and not maltreat them just because of their gender.
4. I think these teachings are true because as we all know God has taught us to respect our sexuality and we should not do evil acts such as this one. Being homosexual is different of doing homosexual acts. It is okay to be homosexual just don’t do acts that is against the teachings of God.
5. I agree with this passage because this acts are against the teachings of God. Only the righteous ones who
obeys the teachings of God can enter the gates of heaven.
6. I think the three main reasons are: they don’t have enough money to feed themselves, they were not taught that these acts are bad, and they do not have any other job so they just did what will help them make money easily.
7. Some people may see the joy behind this act. other think that they can blackmail the people inside the video so they download it.
8. I think watching porn is sinful because as stated in the bible, sex should be private. one thing that can help solve this problem is if we help stop the uploading of this video so that no one can watch it.
9. The things that lead to prostitution are poverty, abuse, and people who try to satisfy their sexual needs. When people are living in poverty, they tend to get desperate in terms of earning income therefore resulting to prostitution. Although, people should be flexible when it comes to earning income. Prostitution should never be a choice when it comes to earning profit.
10. Absolutely not. It’s a very inappropriate way of earning money and should not be legalized. It will also give a bad image for the Philippines if the other countries find out that we’re a Catholic country and prostitution is legal here.
