                    [Summary] => 

THAT color front-page picture yesterday in a newspaper (not The STAR) showing a Catholic priest raising the chalice for the veneration of combat troops offering Mass after the retaking of a Muslim stronghold in Lanao is highly incendiary.

Its publication is irresponsible journalism.

The photograph unnecessarily stokes the religious undercurrent of the fighting in Mindanao that responsible sectors in society want to suppress because there is absolutely no religious color in the government campaign for peace and unity.

We think we know how to read that newspaper.

WHEN we start calling one another gago, sinungaling, pangit, babaero and similar epithets in our public debate, that only means that we have run out of arguments and are now wrestling ourselves to the gutter.

And when it is the President of the Republic himself who resorts to such foul language, it may be that the sputtering Jeep ni Erap has reached the end of its line. Is it time to change the jeep?
