I would like him to interview a Muslim Mufti .It’s clear this ABC journalist is not a Catholic .Cardinal Tagle is not at fault for anything .He is open and direct and clear on his Catholic Faith .What the media don’t understand it’s the Catholic Faith and we have Gods Laws Church Laws and the Commandments I hope he is our next Pope The Catholic Church needs a man like this as its leader

[@ronneliangarcia7301]

Tagle and Sackur are speaking from two different perspectives, to which once could not simply and readily agree upon. i agree that the Cardinal has some lapses in his way of answering. i also agree that Sackur brings to the fore some important and well-grounded realities that must be faced by the Catholic Church and the hierarchy. the beauty of this interview, however, does not come from one-sided sentiments. rather, this interview tickles and wakes the mind of people up in relation to the sensitive but nevertheless necessary issues.

[@chrisbernal5164]

You are precisely correct there. It is like looking at honesty under a microscope. Sackur is the microscope, and Tagle is honesty. At best, it is an illustration of intellectual exercise.

Nice to see your interview with a Filipino Cardinal all the way in Manila . Thanks for the interview

[@blacketer3]

I am half English, and half Filipino. I am definitely more English and far more westernised since I was raised the UK; but that would never be the way I'd choose to act to a cardinal. Clearly the interviewer said himself that there is no provision to law or divorce, but there is also the ability to annul a marriage, and things that are both lawful both of the land and in the eyes of God. This revealed one of the typical stereotypes to being British, snobby and stuck up. Unfortunately it went overboard on this interview without concern to the culture of the Philippines; two very culturally different countries.

[@realleoputong]

The wisdom of men does not improved the condition of life especially for the poor peace is still very illusive even to the rich and powerful proving the observation of great American President Thomas Jefferson that if the world will be ruled by the teaching of Jesus Christ and apply those teachings in their way of life the world will live harmoniously and love will be the main binding force and peace will be enjoyed by all inhabitants in this world.

This topic is will go on and on and on and on and even our lifetime is not enough. Never the less, we are gifted with Intellect and Free Will, we're entitled with our opinion as part of the "Free Will"; however our opinion must not be destructive with the people and community we're living with. We don't know these people personaly nor we never live with them under one roof for us to conclude about who they are and what they do. I think it's better to improve our selves positively as a contribution to our selves, Family, Friends and community.

He is a straw man (the interviewer) who is willing to offend the cardinal. A journalist who represent the left at best. He was not asking question to get an answer but he already made a judgment call. His goal was to uphold his polemic nuances to portray the church as an insensitive church and make a claim that it was out of touch of the realities faced by the poor community. You are journalist so I assumed you have not done charity work. Maybe you're the one out of touch of what you have assumed.

@Crimson Red....don't you find it funny how it is that those who are quick to accuse, blames and judge the RCC for having beautiful churches, adhering to its teachings on life and contraception and other things aren't even Catholics? The church being "funded by the people", sure, but people who belongs to the Catholic faith. If anyone has the right to complain it is us Catholics not any of you non Catholics, especially those who do not even believe in God. Those who don't contribute to the building of our churches or do not contribute to its outreach then don't make it your business to complain about how it distributes the money it collects. Oh well...nothing is new, I have no doubt that Jesus knew that the 1 Church He will establish will face persecution, otherwise He will not say "the gates of Hades will hold no dominion over it". So nothing is new, the Church has faced persecution since the first century to the present day, and will remain till His return.

[@sofiajustol7677]

He is now the prefect of the evangelization of the peoples and a member of the Vatican's treasury. I am more curious to what actions he had planned in his ministry and also the answers from this interview that he would give now. 4 years ago, around the time this interview held, Tagle and other bishops were actively participating synods on the family (2015), for the youth (2018) and the pan-amazon (2019). We are exposed in depth about the underlying issues, presented with questions that are similar from this interview. I'm disappointed for a different reason. To be able to answer all of that on this limited amount of time is absurd and his answers are dissatisfactory. The synods are only the beginning and the dialogues from these type of gatherings are more fruitful than this fast-paced setting. But one thing I noticed are the counter statements where he does not diverts the subject. He would either recuse the idea of both himself and the questions of the interviewer or give insights to the abstract factors which are typical for a reformist, a scholar, and an evangelist. His behavior and candor that we saw here are in alignment to what he manifested in most of his talks and seminars.

The wisdom of the world vs. the Wisdom of the Servant of God.

[@bloodraven9977]

Jong Ricafort yes, this is the only country which was not been touch by satan, because satan is the head of the catholic church. Watch it clearly how agitated the cardinal is during in this interview. Review 15:05 on how he tries to protect his minions.

I' ve watched this interview many times most especially when people have serious questions to some church social and moral teachings. This interview have a lot of things to say with regards to the questions on morality. For the record, those who question the millions that the church owns, i think the good cardinal answerd it well. The millions or billions that the church have, are not kept by one person or own by one person or not own by a bishop. This is owned by the church. Yes, the church have also engages in business but this engagement does not or did not to gain money for arrogance or luxury. The money the church gained in business was used to sustain and shoulder the pastoral ministries of the church like orphanages, charitable instituitions, schools, hospitals and apostolates. No one has supported us financially. Not like the government which annually they have budget allocated to finance their charitable institutions. And mind us, to help uplift the poor is not the first concern of the church. The church is a spiritual instituion. However, because of its social responsibility, the church takes the challenge to help the poor out in their dire situation by providing them for free or less accountablity in their respective life situation. With regards to contraception and abortion, these teachings are not barren or foolish. Look, if we are anger enough to search the dire effects of these methods suggested by the western countries which even to my surprise, they themselves gradually abondoned it. And now they are trying to plant this unrealistic idea to us. The church teaching reagrding this matter has stood up for centuries and it was proven many times that this teaching is accurately and deniably right. After all, thid teachung dearly hold by the church is actually the teaching of Christ, and we know christ will never be wrong!

@tlinc.......you are barking on the wrong tree here...are you for real? Do you even know how many charitable organizations the Roman Catholic Church runs? Caritas' affiliated charity organizations are present in almost every country, assisting the elderly, in hospitals, in prison, in schools, in orphanages etc? Why not say that to the government,those who can actually give them the job, those who can actually fund them to go to skills workshop, those who can build housing for them? Not because we have nice churches or that the head of the RCC lives has nice accommodation, it is not his own, we as Catholics owns it, Cardinal Tagle can't sell it, bec it isn't his. Have you ever looked at where your gov't official lives? How many cars they have? How many properties they own? So why not direct your rants to them? How about you, would you sell your home and give all the profits to them? After when the money you gave them are all gone, then what, will you ask your parents to sell theirs too? If you really want a better country, vote for the people you want to lead this country, because every Filipino has that ability. Stop with your prejudice towards the RCC, stop persecuting Jesus.

Cardinal Tagle is very honest on these issues told by Stephen Sackur. But some issues are for the government. The Church can only do much because the government is in control. Moral are championed by the Church, but is the governance is not functioning it would send out wrong signals to the nation. The only item i think should be resolved are church lands and the de frocking of guilty Priest in both canon and civil law...

Be kind, honest and good to your fellow men and that should be alright.

[@etrnlygr8tful87]

@Saint Louis..If you call yourself Catholic and do not agree with its teachings, them it is time for you to learn more about your faith then, because you are obviously misinformed. If Jesus think that just being kind, honest and good to your fellow men is all we need and that should be alright, then why do you think He needed to build His Church? Why did He say "do this in remembrance of me", as he share bread (his body) and wine (blood) among His disciples. He could have just told His disciples to just teach being kind, honest and good, that for sure would have been much easier to compile and distribute to people instead of the Bible we currently have. Imagine a 3-5 pages Bible? "...tying yourself on beliefs that DO NOT seem to make your life any better" ?? Care to give an example? The RCC is the true church, please do not ever doubt Jesus for if you doubt the Church, you in turn doubt Him.

Either bishop tagle is grossly misinformed or he is just lying through his teeth. If he is not lying and he was working in the private sector, he would be lucky to rise beyond the position of an entry level clerk.

[@ofwlaton1996]

CAN NOT SPEAK CORRECT THIS BISHOP BUT ONLY USING SMILING TO DESTRUCK THE INTERVIEWER HA HA HA HA.

[@concepcionnicolas6962]

God bless us all thank you Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle from Philippines

[@paolocabaral9891]

TAGLE'S ANSWERS SUCKS, its just so unconvincing. Tsk2. Does the church help or hinder development? After after watching this, id say it's no not helpful.

[@eddiedeleon2425]

good afternoon Sir Stephen ... just as interview your host ... enter my mind for one common search today San Luis Obispo a place in California and a church in Lucban Quezon ... thank you

[@tamiyamorados8028]

???????? lot of good point by Mr.sackur.

[@estebanlipa6320]

Rude interviewer. He kept on cutting his interviewee. This is no way to interview a Prince of the Church. I am no fan of Cardinal Tagle but this biased interwee conducts himself like an uncouth pedestrian Protestant. The Cardinal's answers are lightweight though.

[@jedblanco8058]

wehhh, concerned ang catholic church priests sa mga mahihirap? talaga lang huh? o baka mas concerned sila sa mga abuloy.... mabuti pa ibang katolikong pari sa ibang bansa mas ginagawa nila ang kanilang tungkulin

[@nmrd88]

am I the only one who is not impressed by tagle's answers?

[@ramonjosegarcia8812]

Same here. Not impressed. All based on opinions. Most of his answers were vague, even some were none sense at all. It's embarrassing.

The answer to all the qyestion leads to one word RESPONSIBILITY

[@ireneclemente5932]

I never find any of the topics funny. I wonder why the cardinal is always laughing.

[@ramonjosegarcia8812]

Because he cannot answer objectively. All his answers were just based on his opinion. Even some are of no sense at all. Interviewer was shocked by some of his answers.

[@thelmalaguilles8675]

[@jingovidal3545]

For a bishop to say something like he doesnt know how to manage his life is very laugheble and weird because they are suppose to be shepherd of men. What's wrong with our bishop for saying that. And yet still appears in political scene.

[@dud898]

Omg. This interview exposes a lot of things local media would dare not tread on. Tagle lives in a bubble. So put of touch. Am shocked that this is how the church thinks. Sad actually.

[@sopaslomi8706]

mahina ang argominto ni fr. tagle.. kasing hina ng pananaw at pamamalakad ng simbahan para protectahan ang mga mahihirap na kababaihan ,kabataan, at pamilya. .. dapat mag give way sya sa mga pari n may maganda at bukas n pananaw... tama nga si jesus makinig k sa misa nila pero wag mo silang gagayahin..

[@ferdiedeleon5145]

If you would closely listen to what the cardinal is saying, his arguments are rooted in the teachings of the church. He mentioned it multiple times, some statements given by other bishops or priests do not necessarily mean the same with how others would approach the matter. Infact he said he understood the mind setting of the bishop who said a specific statement that contraception is corruption. He would have used a different word he said. And yes the Church has an obligation to protect the people of faith but not to a point that it will become a government. It is the job of the Government. The church serves as a "consciousness" of the government where in, the church will speak whe. Morals and values and faith is at risk. Always remember that Church and state should go hand in hand in serving and leading the people both spiritually and politically.

[@crispinadicdican2085]

Cardinal Tagle please Inform all the people in the Philippines esp. priest and nuns esp. the people of Cebu stop promoting the Monarchy Law in our country Philippines and esp. herein America. We have to respect the different form of Government Law because we Catholic we have our own Law in Rome and the Pope Francis is the President in the room and it’s about the people of Cebu city to support and all the Filipinos esp.all the Latin countries and Spanish people to stop promoting the Law of Monarchy Law all the Catholic and Christians and non believers we have to stop promoting the Law of Monarchy . What is important the Faith our holy Catholic Church to become a universal church. An the same value of money the foreign exchange and follow the Ten Commandments. And I prayed the will reconcile all the politicians and all the leaders of the religion and all the Supreme Court all over the whole world to reconcile to our Holy father Pope Francis.

It is written in the Bible how to teach people how to be responsible. Sorry to say but your concern is only the tithes that poor I individuals give to sustain your luxurious living. A nice convvent, a servant, a car, good food to eat while your poor members in squatter areas can't even have 1 good meal a day. Christ while on Earth does not live a kind of life you are enjoying. Then you call yourself Christian? Hypocrites!
