Pope Francis' "holiness"

-

One of the most abuse words in history is "holiness" or "holy". Traditionally, the word was used to describe non-living things, such as "holy shrine", "holy cities", "holy cross", "holy rosary" and animate things such as the "holy see". Recently, the word, in addition to "professionalism",  was used by Pope Francis who was quoted by DZMM teleradyo, December 22, 2013 issue, as follows:
 Pope Francis: Mga katoliko dapat isabuhay ang holiness (Roman Catholics should live holy)
Pope Francis: Mga katoliko dapat may propesyonalismo (Roman Catholics should have professionalism)
In short, Pope Francis is attacking the "unholiness" and "unprofessionalism" of Roman Catholics. But coincidentally, who is the root cause of this alleged words? Is it not the institution itself because of idolatry?


Instead of having only one God, Roman Catholics were taught how to love the "cross", the rosary beads and strings and every Roman Catholic idol using the names of saints and "The Name" of the Father, the Son and the Holy spirit, including the name of Mother Mary. 

Is it logical to attack "unholiness" and "unprofessionalism" by promoting "professionalism in "unholiness" which is being done by the Roman Catholic Alleged Church?

Before engaging in issues between two opposing forces related to causes of Philippine calamities, it is necessary to consider the possibility of deceptions among the parties. For example, in a recent pronouncement of Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, he blames the "ungodly" laws, e.g, Reproductive Health (RH) law, as a cause of Philippine disasters. Is he honestly correct? First premise : The subject of the blame are the recent Philippine calamities, such as, Cebu-Bohol earthquake and Yolanda typhoon last October 15, 2013 and November 8, 2013, respectively. Second premise : Reproductive Health Law was approved only last December 2012.

Roman Catholics were taught how to pray "holy" rosary and other prayers in public and in the house of worship. Even Pope Francis had been published kneeling and praying to be seen by the public. Is it spiritually correct to follow this kind of practice? To guide the readers, quoted is the substance of the scripture: 5 “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand up and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you, they have already been paid in full. 6 But when you pray, go to your room, close the door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what you do in private, will reward you. 7 “When you pray, do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that their gods will hear them because their prayers are long. 8 Do not be like them. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. 9 This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Fathe

Truth and religious deception

Only truth will set you free when faced with religious deception. Thus, search for it is required to address the issue, which is inversely related to individual's rights of freedom of choice. In turn, this freedom requires "truth" as a necessity.The less effective the exercise of freedom, e.g due to ignorance, religious arrogance, "untruthful" information, disinterest, tradition, etc., the more the enslavement by religious deception.  Its detection will not only needlooking at the "truth" but would need individual's personal commitment to study and correct one 's belief system , without which, the "truth", despite of its abundance, would be futile and worthless. Even in calamities , religious deception is present. A religious sector may act as a representative of God by substantially promoting "God is Love" but at the same
