As a bishop or a priest, we are the next apologetics (the faith defender) of the church. We should uphold, protect and preserve what are "passed on" to us like traditions: Veneration of the Saints, Images, Statues, Procession etc..Ngayon, kung ang isang pari o obispo ay hindi ginaganap ang mga nabanggit, I dont think so na ginagampanan nga niya talaga ang kanyang tungkulin bilang isang Orden na Ministro ng Simbahan because he failed to do so as he promised unto the Lord when he was ordained. Pangako po ito ng mga orden na poprotektahan at pangangalagaan ang tradisyon ng simbahan.Always remember we are still in the Line of the Undivided One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church kaya dapat na ipagpatuloy ang mga banal na nakaugalian ng simbahan because as an IFI (Aglipayans) I might be calling Filipinista, IFI, but not Aglipayan because I believe that our church is not the Church of His Grace Mons. Greogorio Aglipay and he was not actually the founder but the "Expression" as he call himself. Our church is rooted from Jesus Christ through the unbroken line of the APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION: these are the foundation of our faith: SCRIPTURE, TRADITION, AND REASON..Sana ang next OM natin eh ALAM ANG GANITONG MGA BAGAY. In my personal opinion, I am not rooted from the protestants well infact, hindi nga naging successful noong araw ang unity with the MONOTHEISTICS or UNITARIANS with our church because I believe that it may be God's Will. I hope na naging patas ako sa aking opinyon. Hindi po ito opinyon ng buong simbahan kundi personal na opinyon ng isang nagmamalasakit sa inang simbahan.
Let us pray for our IFI Church. Amen. Samahan niyo po ako.
