Talk:Gaudencio Rosales

Untitled
The caption on one of the pictures state that Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales would be the fifth Filipino cardinal. This is incorrect. He would be the sixth Filipino cardinal. The others are (in order of becoming cardinals): Rufino Cardinal Santos, Julio Cardinal Rosales, Jaime Cardinal Sin, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, and Jose Cardinal Sanchez. The other Cardinal Rosales was born in Calbayog City and was the predecessor of Cardinal Vidal as Archbishop of Cebu. It's unlikely though that the present Cardinal Rosales is related to the late Julio Cardinal Rosales. --Harvzsf 03:54, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

It is bad policy to retain very old cardinals. The Pope should have appointed younger ones instead of the 75 year old Rosales. --Florentino floro 08:53, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Ang Ladlad vs Rosales: Moral Stand
I added this moral stand section, since this caught global attention due to the hysteria Rosales created. Forgetting cover-up on Catholic Filipino priests sex scandals and corruptions, Rosales diverted the attention to: Rosales stated per Radio Veritas on May 5, 2008, that "Gays should not be allowed to participate in Flores de Mayo since it defeats the true meaning of the celebration." Ang Ladlad's founder, Ateneo de Manila professor, Danton Remoto, protested against the cardinal's statement, saying that: "In the eyes of God, everyone is equal; Some of these gay men have saved a lot of money for their gowns (to be worn in the procession) and they were doing it because they believed in the Virgin Mary. They need understanding, not condemnation."www.reuters.com, Manila bishop says against gay men in May parade Rosales countered that: “I am not angry at gay men. But, I am against what they’re actually doing.”queerty.com, No Homos At Mary Celebration, Says Cardinal Rosales, went further, and officially warned with punishment of banning or removal of the faculty for Mass (liturgy) in those Catholic parishes that permit cross-dressing homosexuals to play Saint Helena, or female saints in the Santacruzan or Flores de Mayo procession. He stated: “We should keep sacred what is sacred; The procession is religious. [But] what the [parishes] do is organize it as a parade of homosexual cross-dressers. That’s an insult to the Blessed Mother. Ay, naku po, nakakapanghilakbot! [Oh, mother of mine, it’s hair-raising]; I told them that’s not right because it’s a sacred procession. You are destroying the purity of the devotion.”manilatimes.net, Cardinal: Gays out of ‘Santacruzans’ --Florentino floro (talk) 08:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Controversy
At last, this article has now a notable controversy:Rosales on June 10, 2008 petitioned the Manila Prosecutor’s Office, per his counter-affidavit, to dismiss the criminal lawsuits filed against him and Pope Benedict XVI by lawyer Elly Pamantong. Pamatong accused them of “arrogantly, oppressively and offensively mounting loud speakers on church rooftops, towers, belfries, and trees that are blaring monotonous rituals and falsehoods, seriously disturbing the peace and quiet of non-Catholics throughout the country.” (Revised Penal Code, Art. 153 and Article 699, New Civil Code of the Philippines.www.gmanews.tv, Manila archbishop asks court to junk cases against him--Florentino floro (talk) 12:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The Picture be picture wrong
His Eminence Cardinal Rosales was consecrated a priest in 1958, and a bishop in 1974 so the note under the picture can not be correct.
