Bishops are pro-vampire, possibly Team Edward; stand on zombies awaited
MANILA, Philippines — The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) movie ratings board has found a “pro-life” message in the vampires and werewolves movie “Breaking Dawn 2.”
In fact, the CBCP-Catholic Initiative for Enlightened Movie Appreciation (CINEMA) has recommended that the faithful watch the movie—the last installment of the Twilight series—and read the novel on which it was based.
Read CBCP’s Cinema endorses Breaking Dawn Part 2 for its pro-life message.
Are they so desperate for support for their medieval anti-RH bill stand that they would align themselves with the bloodsucking undead?
Do they have an affinity towards bloodsuckers?
Boboy wants to know: Are they Team Edward or Team Jacob?
What is their official stand on zombies?
In Christian theology, do vampires have souls?
Of course vampires don’t need birth control—because they can’t have sex. How are you supposed to get an erection without a functioning circulatory system? Twilight promotes ignorance of basic science. Oh now we see the affinity.
Does this mean vampires will have eternal life after their already eternal life?
Are the bishops secretly for the RH bill? They’re making themselves too easy a target.

Next, they will be encouraging necrophilia. Just another day.

Funny, since Stephenie Meyer is a (practicing?) Mormon, and the entire Twilight series has also been viewed as an allegory for the values of the Church for Latter Day Saints. Maybe they’re also trying to curry favor from the members of the LDS?
Personally, I cannot wait to read the CBCP’s take on the following movies:
– Life of Pi (tiger overcomes animal instincts while lost at sea with human caretaker)
– The Hobbit (allegory written by Roman Catholic author on good and evil)
– Lincoln (the affirmation of human rights through the abolition of slavery in the face of partisan politics)
– Les Miserables (criminal on the road to redemption serves as father figure to daughter of dying prostitute in midst of revolution and hypocrisy… oh, wait)

Well, since vampirism is part of communion anyway, they probably do support the fanged folk.

While they’re at it with these movies, they might as well add Rosemary’s Baby and The Omen to their list of pro-life endorsements.

Obviously they’re pro zombies. Case in point, Lazarus. Also, JC and Mary.

You know what’s really amusing?
The Vatican actually condemns the “Twilight” series, calling it deviant and a moral vacuum.

So we can see how pasaway the CBCP really is, even within the Catholic Church.

They want us to read the books?
Maybe they should browse through Dana’s tumblr
