[Title] => Marooned on a desert island
[Summary] => Allowing oneself to be drawn into a selection of ones favorite book is not unlike deliberately painting oneself into a corner, only worse. It is impractical and pointless, similar to being asked the one thing preferred on a desert island the first things that come to mind are the Internet and several good books. And therein lies the crux of the matter: the sheer impossibility of choosing just one book. After all, what one chooses to read at an airport lounge is not necessarily what one curls up with in bed.

[Summary] => In a Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) meeting held in Dagupan City, Archbishop Oscar Cruz said, "We would prefer a less number of priests who are good and performing righteously to having more priests in the service involved in some immoral acts." We could not agree more. Bad priests are counter-productive. They only serve to discredit the Church. If priests cannot live up to their vow of chastity, they have no business remaining in the priesthood. When a person has sex with someone he is not married to, it is a mortal sin.
