I made a promise to abandon watching TV and kept it for nearly a year. Then I returned to it while at first a deep sense of guilt was inside me.
It was easy to abandon TV the first time, but now it seems nearly impossible to do so. I was a great enemy of Farsi1 and now I am addicted to it.
There is movie there called 'Amarte asi 2005'. A catholic
appearence, but full of imorality, except that people are not
100% uncovered (they are like when one goes to swim in a pool) It has initimate scences that artfully avoid exposing the whole bodies but send the full message nevertheless.
All these things happens yet characters have blessed statues before which they pray often, priests have positive images, there are good nuns, though they break their vows (after asking for guidance from the virgin Mary and deciding to serve God in the world). Bribery and attempted murder, children born in sin, broken familes etc. etc are motifs. And yet they wear a rosary or a cross aroud their necks, have blessed itmes hanging on their walls and in their cars (our Lady of Tepeiac for example). It seems that having your first child after your marriage is an abnormity for them.
The irony is that religion has a good image and virgin Mary always comes to help and acts like a Doe Machine in a tragedy.
Is columbia really like this? Seeing that there are also other movies of this type coming from columbia. Everybody is sinful, right, but why should somebody decorate a place of infamy with holy images?

In countries that were once Catholic like Columbia, this is probably common. I expect that it is greatly exaggerated, but based on how people really live. Once the government ceases to protect the people from immorality and starts promoting it, the people become immoral. Many people don't seem to like morality. Especially these days when you have all of the immorality on television, in movies, and taught in schools, as well as contraception available everywhere. Many people still remain culturally Catholic and have statues and ask the Blessed Mother for favors, but they do what the television wants them to do and not what God wants them to do. The West is drowning in immorality. It is by design.

I think Martin Luther was more catholic than many of them. Just consider the fact that if he wanted, he could stay in that monastery saying indulgenced prayers yet conducting his evil plans in privacy of his cell. At least he was honest enough to leave. If he were like those catholics, instead of insulting the Pope, he would go to the Papal office asking for a blessing for prot movement!

this sort of supports what I said earlier-garbage in, garbage out in what we watch and listen to...eventually the thinking does seep in.....slowly, we change opinions....most S.Americans want to be like us in USA...MTV and all........
