This event really happened here in the philippines. I know catholics should rfrain from gambling, but why did some nuns support this casinos just because they were giving funds to them! You can even see these nuns playing poker, soltmachine and etc. Arent they ashamed of what they have done?

No it is not right but then the church and its representatives will often change their tune based on what kind of pay off they are getting.

The church is not necessarily about spirituality as it is about power and money.

Which is unfortunate since there are many priests and nuns who do practice what they preach, who show compassion and who have taken vows with true spiritual calling.

The problem is when those who are not as strong in their faith take a pay off it gives the rest a bad name.

I dont know why they would do such thing and worst allow themselves be seen playing poker and slot machines but it is very unacceptable for them to do that.. They are the biggest hypocrite in the Catholic Religion and they should be ex-communicated for supporting it.

There are a lot of ways to raise money other than gambling. Nuns and Priests are one of the most purest persona in the Philippine culture and seeing them do those stuffs would surely influence people that gambling is totally OK. They're giving a bad portrayal of the works of Jesus..

I see it as making money from no effort at all and other peoples loss, isnt that known as usury?
Maybe they need to ask the pope what he thinks LOL
