The Straight Path to CCP?

Finally, the CCP Board "temporarily shut down" the gallery that houses "satanic works" masquerading as "art" in the CCP complex. Yet, it seems CCP never regretted allowing public display of this blasphemous and sacrilegious exhibit, and even dared to declare that CCP will "continue to act as catalyst for free expression of Filipino artists". And the Palace washed its hands of this controversy with inaction and insensitivity to Christian feelings with simple declaration that CCP is an independent body. OMG, do they really mean that?

So now I challenge the CCP board, the masquerading artists and the Palace to do the same disrespectful public exhibits of our national icons and heroes in the name of art. And if Christians and Catholics are not the sole target of this public ridicule and disrespect as they claim, they should commission similar "freedom of art work" directed to other non-Christian religions as well, particularly those who are more committed to defending their faith. Will the CCP dismiss the same desecration of our national heroes and other religions as "free expression of Filipino artists"? Do these so-called "Filipino artists" have absolute "freedom" at the expense of faith and beliefs of other lesser mortals like us?

For fairness and equality, the CCP board, the masquerading artists, and the Palace should take my challenge. When they do, then I will go down to my knees in prayer to reflect once more on the Parable of the Weeds. For indeed the Lord allows the weeds and the wheat to grow together while on earth. Because by uprooting the weeds early on, the wheat may be uprooted as well. But on judgment day, angels will separate the weeds from the wheat, tie them in bundles for burning. And the wheat are gathered and saved in the Lord's barnyard.

Even so, I pray that the Lord be merciful to those who chose to live by the greed of the world rather than the will of the Lord. Lord, forgive us all for our sinfulness.
