Church bells across the country rang for 3 minutes across the country as form of protest vs. pork barrel corrruption. The movement is known as Church People's Coalition Against Pork Barrel headed by Fr. Ben Alforque.
It is expected that the church will take this action as being the watchdog of morality. We have to take steps vs evil and corruption.
However, we remember the admonition of the Lord when people were about to stone a woman accused of adultery. He challenged the people, who were not sinners to cast the first stone.
In our company, we were talking about selling a product to a church and our difficulty would seem to stem from negotiation on how much we give as marketing expense. And we know about corruption in the church hierarchy also. I know of a parish priest who do not want to be audited saying that he is accountable to no one (except to God)
I hope many of the church leaders who joined the condemnation are lily white and are not hypocrites
