In a video going viral on Facebook, the mother, holding her baby, got a mouthful from the priest: "Ang imong pagkasunod sa dili binuhatan sa kalibutan, nga mo sugot ra mo'g nakig dug ug lalaki nga dili nimo bana. Wala man mauwaw?"
(What you did was worldly. You allowed yourself to sleep with a man who isn’t your husband? Have you no shame?)
It didn’t end there: “Bisan kaning bata wala nisala, pero ang babae ug lalaki nga makigdog nga wala pa giksala mao nagpuyo sa sala. Mapasa unya ni sa bata ang disgrasya. Dili unta nga nag happy happy unya naa’y bata. Oo, grasya ni pero nabuhat siya sa sala.”
(Even if the child has not sinned, the man and woman who slept together without being married lives in sin. She may pass those consequences of her sin on to the child. You don't succumb to lust. Yes, a baby is a gift from God, but the baby was born in sin.)
While the Facebook page doesn’t identify in which church this happened and who the priest was, local newspaper Cebu Daily News identified the parish priest as Father Romeo Ubach of the Sacred Heart Chaplaincy in Eversely Child Sanitarium in Mandaue City, Cebu.
The woman who uploaded the video, Jieve Daitol Frias, says she is the baby’s grandmother. Her account says she lives in Mandaue City.
“This was supposed to be a celebration, pero bastos kaayo ang pari. Can’t he just shut his mouth? Niadto mi sa simbahan para magpabunyag dili kay bastoson ang nagpabunyag,” she said.
(This was supposed to be a celebration, but the priest was very rude. Can’t he just shut his mouth? We went to the church to have the child baptized, not to be disrespected.)
The video was uploaded Sunday, July 6, and has about 11,000 shares as of posting time.
The mother of the child and those who attended the baptism didn't seem to react to the priest’s sermon in the video, but they have been sharing their horror story online since the incident. (from Rappler)
