Bishop decries attitude of indifference amid COVID19 pandemic

MANILA--A Manila bishop on Friday criticized the prevailing cruelty existing in humanity, and the culture of indifference even amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Hindi ba ganyan pa rin ang nangyayari sa mga torture na ginagawa sa tao, sa mga pagpatay ng mga inosenteng tao na sila ay collateral damage lang sa mga digmaan at pagbobomba sa mga extrajudicial killings, sa mga pananalitang ‘patayin sila’ na galing sa mga bibig ng mga mga makapangyarihan?” “Nandiyan pa rin ang kasamaan ng pagwawalang kibo o indifference sa kahirapan ng iba. Nandiyan pa ang pagsasantabi ng iba para kami maligtas, itataboy ang mga dayuhan, itinataboy ang mga suspetsadong may virus kasi sila ay nasa frontline upang tulungan ang mga tao sa mga ospital at mga tindahan,” the prelate added.

“Let us beat our breasts and be sorry for the great inhumanity that is happening around us. Ganito kabigat ang kasamaan. But the whole picture changes when see Jesus on the cross. Ginamit ng Diyos ang kasamaan ng tao, dinanas o in-experience niya ang kasamaan ng tao upang ipaabot sa atin ang kaniyang kabutihan,' the bishop said.

“Let us not doubt the love of God even in this time of COVID-19 pandemic. Ginagamit ng Diyos ang pandemic na ito upang ipaabot sa atin ang kaniyang pag-ibig, tulad ng ginamit niya ang krus upang ipadama sa atin na mahalaga tayo para sa kaniya. Nothing can separate us from the love of God — not even the cross, not even the coronavirus,” Pabillo added.
