IT'S PETER SINGER WHO'S IN THE GRIP OF AN IDEOLOGY (Letter to the Dom Post, February 24)

I suppose Peter Singer (Why family planning is a win-win, Feb 24) realises that he himself is ‘in the grip of an ideology’, expounding as he does a shallow philosophy of self-gratification and love of oneself, as opposed to the profound Christian ideal of love of others.  

So it’s ironic that he should accuse Pope Francis and the Catholic Church of proselytising. The Philippines were not ‘ideologically colonised’. The Filipinos simply accepted the Gospel for what it is - Good News – and as good people do, they live it with enthusiasm.
