Sinners, hypocrites, government

The worst hypocrite is he who calls hypocrite a fellow hypocrite.

Governments would have been the seat of power for the devil in the absence of forces that restrain wickedness in societies. And this world would have long ago dissolved into ashes if not for the “salt of the earth.”

House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez recently ranted with these cutting, condemning words: “Sinners they are, the Catholic Church has no moral ascendancy to judge what is right and wrong. They are simply a bunch of hameless hypocrites.”

But what deity does the Speaker worship for him to call sinners hypocrites?

“All have sinned,” the Bible says. Therefore, who now can be in a position to judge what is right and wrong? Answer: Certainly not anyone from the kingdom of darkness.  Christians aren’t perfect, they are just forgiven, and from the chambers of Light.

Any solution that ignores God is no solution at all.
