63rd SERRA International Convention, Bangkok 2005 Featured Speech : Rising to the Vocations Challenge of the 21th Century Bishop Luis A. Tagle- Bishop of Imus, the Philippines
Very spectacular talk of H. E. Cardinal Tagle. Suggesting this particular speech be made available this time again so many people will learn from him. Cardinal Tagle is truly a gifted person, an excellent speaker, a true pastor, definitely a holy person, thank you Lord of the gift of Cardinal Tagle.
He is a very excellent speaker. Very intelligent; very smart.I learn a lot from the way he presents his topic. I think it’s really Gods gift. He has a calling to be the first pope from Asia.
Nilda M, Bishop Tagle's statements are counterproductive to the needed c.97% healing and c.3% forgiveness of the harm of clerical (and worldwide) sexual abuse. By asserting "faith in God and being in Church", Bishop Tagle reverses Pope Francis' completion of Humanae Vitae, 1968, 12 as 'belief in God and acting in Church'. Belief is the keeping of the inseparability and qualitative equality of thinking and having faith. "Church" is a 'do-ing' role, not a 'be-ing' identity. This completion of HV, 12 is de facto in the cases of indictments for alleged embezzlement of procreation gift charity donations by helpers of the family within the family against Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine other Vatican state citizens (presently been heard in Pope Francis' Vatican state court) and the unacceptable risk of fraud on the need of union of identities of family members of valid and proper marriages if the "Zan" anti-homophobia bill before the Italian Parliament was passed (defeated in early November 2021 after a protest note against it authorised by Pope Francis).
1:07:01 "Make sure that in the future, when you see the name Bishop Tagle as a speaker anywhere in the world, BE THERE before the time, make sure you have a good seat." 10 years later and this advice is still more than spot on.
He is so expressive of his feelings while speaking. He speaks from the heart; has good sense of humor, has good tone of voice that catches the spectator's eyes & hears. He is a good teacher & excellent speaker, worldwide- Good Evangelizer. Not a surprise, he is now a Cardinal @ a young age. "Kudos" Cardinal Tagle.💒
Serra International is an organization to promote vocations to priestly and religious life. Origin is Juniper Serra (trekked California and founded missions) who will be canonized by Pope Francis soon.
