More like, "The world slides into immorality and this is what the press slices out with with its exacto knife and makes a headline out of for transmission around the world..."
If you go to the source of this quoted fragment, it's neither on the homepage of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) website, nor on the official Documents and Statements page--- which makes me think it might have been a fairly incidental remark, not the topic of some Filipino Summa Theologica.
Take a good look at what the Filipino bishops ARE talking about.
But the media gets to define what's newsworthy,right?
On the substance of his quoted remarks, I must say "good for him." It's not that there's anything "intrinsically wrong" about saying "Good morning" at the start of Mass, it's just that it's so vapid.
It's like a Marine Corps Flag Ceremony starting with the words "Hi, there, folks." There's a place for "Good morning" and "Hi there, folks and it's not at the beginning of a solemn observance.
I agree. I can't recall hearing it however.
