Churches changing bylaws after gay marriage ruling?

As a Roman Catholic and as a member of a Vatican City-sanctioned worldwide community of Christian couples - the Couples for Christ - one can't help but feel being at the direct firing line in this battle to preserve the institution of marriage as a tripartite covenant: God + one man + one woman.

That's only because it seems that the Roman Catholic Church has enough literature that proclaims its position on marriage. These literature - the Bible, the encyclicals, Canon Law, etc - predates most countries that exist today. Break-away churches don't have that, ever since a lot of them rejected the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Junk Pork Barrel!

Hi Friends! It pains me that I can't join the non-political rally in Luneta today to junk the pork barrel system of the country. I've been in Luneta yesterday to join the CFC ANCOP Global Walk and it is heart-warming to know that there are many people from my community -- Couples for Christ -- who'd be joining today's rally for the abolition of PDAF.

What I can't do physically, let me compensate in spirit through this prayer.

Back in Service in Couples for Christ at Quezon City

For a year since we went back to Quezon City in June 2012, we were sort of just floating members of the community (Couples for Christ or CFC). Now we're back into action, just like the years before mid-2012. How did that happen, exactly?

CFC 32nd Anniversary at Quirino Grandstand. We carried the Youth for Christ banner of the Metro Manila West B Sector. In Calamba City, we used to serve as YFC Coordinator.

With CFC having many chapters all over the country, we really had no clue which chapter we would be part of upon coming back to Quezon City from an 18-month "retreat" in Calamba City, 60km south. We only wished it would be a different chapter.
