Irresponsible Church Promotion: Use of Overgeneralized Identity Concepts

Back in 2013, same year na nagpunta sa Pilipinas si Pope Francis, the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines had a theme, "God's Option for the Poor" kaso naka-empower masyado sa segment of society na usually immediate social environment saan nadi-discriminate ang mga aabuting sa mga matapobreng klase ng yayamanin bago makaranas ng discriimination—though as equally unpleasant na wrongdoing yan na experience. Given the cultural settings in the Philippines, malaking segment ng overgeneralized identity na yan ay yung magulo lang sa mga communidad kaya whole society cannot trust them with socio--economic mobility, in contrast sa deep-seated reasons bakit mahirap ang buhay ng mga talagang peasants na matatawag ang kondisyon. Considering cultural context here in our country, mali ang naging pag-celebrate ng Roman Catholic Church sa bansa dahil inuuna muna i-rehabilitate ang morale kesa sa i-empower agad kundi'y ang ine-empower mo lang ay ang di matino ang morale. Yung negative social implications ng such form of campaign by the Church empowering a lot with immature and irresponsible morale under overgeneralized identity promoted ay ang bakit lumobo din ang mga may psychosocial diisability sa klase na ng nagging prevailing social environment rooted from dis-values of and prefered societal norms by many who're uncautiously been empowered. Maraming na-exposed sa naging ganiyan nang social environment sa bansa kaya lumobo din ang bilang ng may psychosocial dilemmas from type of unrighteous social setting one is subject under. Mas tama pa ang kung ginawa na lang God's option for disabled individuals ang theme that year. Angg aftermath, nag-backfire sa resulting public and collective morale and societal norms ang promotion that was indiscriminate whether matino ba o hindi (majority), individually, ang morale ng basta na lang i-campaign ang welfare. Yan ang hirap sa paggamit ng overgeneralized concepts under social identification. Much caution should be taken dapat pagdating sa ganiyan.

This has been why I request consideration of celebration of "God's Preferential Option for Persons With Disabilities" promoted into broader Mother Church and/or the Vatican itself if they can make that happen.
