Priest likens Arroyo’s descent to Jesus Christ

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

======================
LUBAO, PAMPANGA—Allies compared her to Jesus Christ for “coming down to serve.” They said that unlike former presidents who plotted coups, she would fight in the open and defend herself against corruption charges after she leaves Malacañang.

Crowds estimated at several thousand cheered President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Tuesday when she returned to her hometown to file her certificate of candidacy (CoC) for representative of the second congressional district of Pampanga.

Ms Arroyo’s term as president ends in June next year and her decision to vie for a seat in Congress next May is unparalleled for a Philippine leader.

Seizing on this, Fr. Roland Moraleja advised Ms Arroyo to “be not afraid of this unprecedented move.”

‘Blasphemy’

“Do not believe you are diminishing the power of the [Office of the] President. Ating metung a taung migbaba ba yang sumuyo—I Kristo (There was a person who came down to serve us—Jesus Christ),” Moraleja said in a homily.

The special Mass, concelebrated by 22 priests, was beamed live to crowds outside through two huge monitors installed on the patio of St. Augustine Church here.

A “blasphemy” was how Pampanga Auxiliary Bishop Pablo Virgilio David called the use by Moraleja of Jesus Christ as an example to justify Ms Arroyo’s bid for a seat in the House of Representatives.

I guess it's not too far fetched. She has spoken to God right?
