“Indignation rally” -- Filipino Catholics give the world a splendid lesson in how to react to blasphemous exhibits

Due to a tremendous groundswell of public indignation among the common faithful in the Philippines, a terrible porn blasphemy was shut down last week.

I am referring to the blasphemous exhibit of Mideo Cruz at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, which contained some depiction of Our Lord that are so indecent that they will remained unmentioned.

The shutting down of the blasphemous Mideo exhibit has been followed by rosary rallies and other public expressions of indignation and reparation.

I personally really like the name of the rosary rally being planned in the Philippine city of Bacolod, which is called “The Indignation rally”. 

Thankfully, in that same city, the Bishop has issued a  pastoral letter in which he said “to violate the moral order for the sake of exalting the autonomy of art is not only arrogant pride, but the very alienation of art. Moral perversion cannot claim authentic originality.”

Amen!
