PROPHÈTE DE MALHEUR ... À PANGASINAN !

Prophètes  de malheur.

Étonnant comme certain semblent éprouver du plaisir à propager des prophéties de catastrophe, d’apocalypse, de fin du monde, mais attention il en est qui sont persuadés d’être la voix de Dieu sur notre bonne vieille terre.


Si l’on souhaite donner une définition du prophète l’on pourrait dire qu’il s’agit d’une personne qui fait une prophétie en annonçant à l’avance un événement hautement imprévisible.

Le prophète se dit au service et mû par la divinité, il va souvent à l’encontre de l’opinion de ses concitoyens et semble vouloir ainsi former une opposition à l’ordre établi.

Prophète, nom dérivé du grec ‘’prophêtês’’,  désigne une personne qui tient (tout du moins elle en est persuadée), d’une inspiration que l’on pense être divine, la connaissance d’événements à venir et qui les annonce par ses paroles ou ses écrits.

Les prophéties sont souvent plus des mises en garde, suivies de l’annonce de calamités, que des prédictions inconditionnelles. Elles répondent généralement à une angoisse collective ou à un sentiment d’impuissance des populations face à l’histoire.

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said on Wednesday the report about the spread of a flesh-eating disease in Pangasinan is the least thing the country would have to deal with at this time.
“I think we should not give it too much attention. I think it is causing unnecessary panic to the people and it is not what we need at this time,” he said.


It was reported earlier that Indian prophet Vincent Selvakumar has made a prophecy about a "deadly disease that would spread across the world, consume human flesh and would pierce through the bones."
The founder of Jesus Ministries Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj claimed that the disease would originate from Pangasinan in the Philippines.

Villegas urged the public not to believe it.

On Tuesday, reports revealed that a mysterious disease has victimized two persons in Pangasinan. But the local Health office has dispelled the news about the disease.

“As a Catholic, we should say that God loves us. Number 2, it is not the way of God to punish people. The way of God is always compassion, mercy and hope,” said the president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

He added, “My request is to just ignore it at this point; what the people need is hope. We don’t need something to be afraid of. We have suffered enough. This can't be from God. This kind of news is unfair to people who need hope at this time."

Villegas said this kind of report should not affect the faith of the people.
“I stick to the principle. What can be explained naturally by medical doctors and scientists, we must not attribute to supernatural causes, that’s the basic principle. You have to exhaust all natural means first before you attribute supernatural reasons for anything that happens,” he added.


Asked if the faith of the people is weak because they believe in such things, the prelate said, “No, I think it’s not the faith that is to be judged there. I think it’s the disposition of some people to cause panic and to be sensational.”

UN KAPRE ... A MALACANANG ?

Image
Don Miguel Perez Rubio, President Benigno Aquino III’s chief protocol officer, usually utters “Hello, Mr. Brown" whenever he passes by the old balete tree in front of the state entrance of Malacañang Palace. “Mr. Brown," Perez Rubio told reporters Monday, is a benevolent kapre who calls the more than a century old tree his home. A kapre is a Philippine mythical creature described as a tall, hairy male who always smokes big tobacco pipe. Perez Rubio said he utters the greeting to avoid any misfortune that might befall him if he ignores “Mr Brown," whom he said had once raised a security guard high off the ground. He said the creature also once scared a limousine driver by towering over his car. So far, no one has been hurt by “Mr Brown." And perhaps he will not have a reason to, especially now that President Aquino has officially proclaimed the aforementioned balete tree (Ficus concinma) as a Heritage Tree. On Monday, President Aquino led the ceremonial ...

RESIDENCE DE L'AMBASSADEUR DE FRANCE ... AUX PHILIPPINES !

Image
Rare qu’un Ambassadeur de France ouvre les portes de sa résidence en dehors du 14 juillet.  Suffisamment rare tout du moins pour que j’en fasse un post. Petite aparté, tout ceci est payé, directement ou indirectement, par vos impôts. Profitez en bien, compte tenu de l’état des finances du pays, il se pourrait bien que d’ici quelques années le patrimoine du ministère des affaires étrangères soit mis en vente afin de combler une dette devenue abyssale. A quand le passage des résidences de nos ambassadeurs sous le contrôle des Qatari ou des Chinois ? Les paries sont ouverts. En ce qui concerne les Philippines, passer d’une superbe villa située à  Forbes Park, pour un trois pièces sur Quiapo, Tondo ou Binondo, ils risquent d’apprécier le changement nos diplomates ! Home to French ambassadors, the Embassade de France in Makati is a modern residence with elements of history and culture. The architecture bears some elements of the plantation ...
