MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Rappler is reporting that the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has clarified that Catholics may hold hands during the Lord’s Prayer at mass.
Bishop Victor Bendico emphasized that nothing in the Scriptures nor in the Christian tradition of worship forbids them from doing so.
But Bendico emphasized however, that it is a different story when it comes to Catholics kissing each other during the peace offering at mass. “Even if it’s among family members, kissing in public may give other children and vulnerable adults in attendance some unwarranted ideas,” the bishop said. “It is best to to keep kissing in private,” he added.
BOGOTA, Colombia (The Adobo Chronicles, Bogota Bureau) – There was an apparent misunderstanding in news reports that Rappler CEO and Nobel Laureate has been offered a teaching position at New York’s Columbia University next year.
It all started with a typographical error by one of Rappler’s unpaid interns when she sent a news dispatch to other online news portals, spelling “Colombia” as “Columbia.”
Rappler has since corrected the dispatch saying boss has been accepted for a professorial job at Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogota. Ressa will teach an intermediate English language class.
NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Unknown to many, Rappler CEO and Nobel Laureate Maria Ressa has academic certificates in theater and dance. It is therefore no surprise that she has been designated guest principal dancer by Columbia University Ballet. Ressa will play the lead role in “Swan Lake.”
Columbia seems to have this fetish for Ressa. Just recently, the university announced that the convicted cyber libeler will join its faculty in July next year, while being a Distinguished Fellow this coming fall.
