may nakita akong trailer ng 700 club asia for the Holy Week Special of GMA TV. It is Called Tanikala... they were showing a film of a devout woman of the NAZARENO who thought to possess healing abilities from "Heaven" and healed people but turned out to be not from Heaven and unable to save herself from the Devil's power. This film is saying that the person who made panata to the rebulto of the Señor Nazareno is being possessed by the devil. I did saw the trailer.

I ALSO SAW THE TRAILER.
THE 700 CLUB IS IGNORANT OF CATHOLIC FAITH AND IS DISTORTING THE FACTS.
FIRST, THE WOMAN IS COMMON AMONG FILIPINOS AS ONE CLAIMING TO BE POSSESSED BY NAZARENO. THIS IS NOT JUST A CASE OF A NAZARENO DEVOTEE BUT OF ONE CLAIMING TO BE POSSESSED BY NAZARENO HIMSELF. THIS IS ABSURD BECAUSE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH NEVER TEACHES THAT THE NAZARENO OR THE STO. NINO POSSESSES A HUMAN PERSON. THAT BELEIF BELONGS MORE TO THE CULTS IN BANAHAW OR IN SACRIFICE VALLEY AND NOT PART OF THE CATHOLIC CREED. IN FACT, IN OUR FAITH GOD NEVER POSSESSES A PERSON BECAUSE HE RESPECTS OUR FREEDOM AND FREE WILL. GOD ONLY FILLS US WITH HIS GRACE OR GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. IN THE BIBLE AND IN CATHOLIC THEOLOGY, ONLY THE DEVIL POSSESSES A PERSON.
THERE ARE FAMOUS DEVOTEES OF SENYOR NAZARENO SUCH AS MANNY PACQUIO AND FORMER VICE PRESIDENT NOLI DE CASTRO. THEY ARE NOT POSSESSED BECAUSE THEY ARE MERE DEVOTEES NOT CLAIMANTS OF NAZARENO POSSESSION.
THE CASE OF THAT WOMAN MUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE CULTS AND THE SPIRITISTS GROUPS BUT NOT TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
