| 1359423 | 2013-11-11 05:29:00 | I have not seen any evidence of the Catholic Church donating large sums of money towards the Philippines disaster. It is high time that the Catholic church assisted their impoverished followers who have supported the Catholic church for a very long time, and been milked dry of the few assets that they have. High time that the Catholic Fathers stop screwing little boys and do something useful and beneficial. Praying will not get them anywhere, no point in expecting help from the same power that caused the storm in the first place! That is if you believe in a God which I do not. It is quite illogical to praise "the Lord" for the good things if he/she/it does not accept responsibility for the bad. The excuse that it is bad humans that do bad things is nonsense. Like saying that a car which has bad road holding characteristics is to blame for accidents if the manufacturer refuses to modify it. If "GOD" made everything he/she/it is responsible for the results. |

This is not time for an anti-Catholicism, anti-God or, anti-organised religion discussion, even if you were ever able to dismiss your obviously biased standpoint. 10,000 lives lost (at last count) is what we should be focused on - what we as a nation can do, what we as individuals can do to help the survivors pick up the pieces of their lives and re-build their future. Without any smoke screens and any obscure agenda such as yours, now is the time for a pragmatic assessment of how best we can help these people in their misery and hour of need. :angry |

"Everything was just flattened," said Miss Lim, the Asia communications manager for Save the Children, who arrived in Tacloban with a group of aid workers assessing the potential need for help just 24 hours before Haiyan smashed into the city on Friday. "The water was knee high and there were bodies floating in the streets. I saw several dead children. I'd say two out of every five corpses I saw were kids. Most of the houses were wooden and they were completely destroyed. "There were trees and electrical poles strewn across the road and corrugated iron roofing that had been ripped off houses." :angry |

I'd agree with that. |

| 1359431 | 2013-11-11 18:52:00 | Mzee, what percentage of income do you know that the Philippines donate to the Catholic church? Excessive, but this is only a guess based on traditional church (most of 'em) attitudes to poorer parishioners. |

| 1359432 | 2013-11-11 19:32:00 | Really dude? You're going to blame a single religous church for not helping? As mentioned 10,000 people are dead and the storm hasn't finished yet... Instead of religon bashing why don't *you* do something.... Questions should be "What are you doing about it!?" On a brighter note... see link below. www.beehive.govt.nz |
