eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27555) • Philippines 20 Apr 14

Fr. Calvin, that is the name I am calling the thirty-ish good looking priest who lambasted his parish priest Fr Henry of the UP Church yesterday in his Easter homily. Fr. Calvin, you, see, is bald on top. But I think it is by...

The homily today hit hard, many cringed. The Priest asked: Do you love God? Everyone nodded and said yes. The priest added: Easiest of commandments, what about do you love your neighbor? When no one reacted, he said...

Just went to church this morning and during the homily I listened very well to the priest (a thing I rarely do for the whole period of the homily); it was because the priest was very entertaining- he was like talking to his close...
