The Doctrine of Original Sin

This year, Pope Ratzinger made a statement that made the Roman Catholic Church less medieval somewhat – look, Big Bang Theory is a fact and God was behind it, Pope says. Most Catholics in the Philippines seem to have missed this development. The Pope also declared that Genesis is an allegory. So, Genesis is fiction, the fall of man is fiction and Original Sin is fiction. Why do Filipinos need to hand 250 bucks for their children’s spiritual betterment?

The Sapient

‘Tis said ’twas Eden’s curse

Wooed the woman

With its philtred call

“Eat from the center tree

“Its fruit shall make you see
