ATONEMENT: Finally Father Jojo Deligero Spilled the Beans

It took sometime for Father Jojo to go public (Sunstar Sunday 1/15/12).   As moderator of the Team of Five, he holds the first key that would have given us guided information of the scandal that refuses to die.   Yes, he has some rules to obey and some of us may not have understood all his actions.  So we blame him of omissions.  We can forgive Father Jojo for this but sad to say, now, only if he forgives those who had done him harm.

Yes, we can say it would have been better for Father Jojo to settle the matter within the Convent’s walls with the involved parties in attendance and do a public apology sooner within the hallowed walls of the Church.  In this way, negative public opinions (from Day One to Jan. 19) could have been de-accelerated or corrected.  Thursday 1/19 was another fatal day where a kind of a signature campaign is floated to counter the petition (perhaps) already submitted.

Before proceeding further on, I hereby confess that everything I express here are personal convictions.   Also, I wish everyone to know that I am signing up for the retention of the Four Pastors including Father Jojo.  Father Ladie is no longer with us and is now under Bishop Palma’s care.

I am taking this side for I still believe that whatever further mistakes and misunderstandings between the complainants, witnesses, respondents and those caught in the crossfire that added fuel to the fire of inconsistencies and disappointments can still be amicably settled –  BUT PLEASE LET US SETTLE THIS NOW!

The crime is a vicious one and it is by now inviting more EVIL to Minglanilla, opening up more roads to perdition not anymore to the violator but to US PARISHIONERS and our PASTORS.

Let us not divide this Parish into who are good, who are evil; who are pro-Jojo who are not; who are ours and who are theirs.  We are a forgiving people, members of one community, and professing the same Faith.   We are our neighbors and our friends.  Let us stop the political game on line now.   Only one re-did a crime.  So why blame and club each other for another crime and more criminals?   Let us not INVITE SATAN to overburden us and our community. 

God is Mighty and Just and in time He will take HIS REVENGE – And as members of this community, we ought to FEAR THIS DAY for it will come to us together or to us in private and for extended days of difficulties and hardships.
