Condoms in lieu of Food (Is the Church too hypocrite?)

Filipinos are now more or less 90 million, trying to fit in these small islands with barely 300,000 square kilometers. Further, these 90 million Pinoys are struggling for food which in actuality can only feed around 50 million or less.

The reason why we have food shortage, other than there is a little supply of rice, is that we are overly-populated. The food we produce is too little for our consumers. Just imagine if a tree can produce 5 fruits a day, the would-be eaters is 50, how on earth do you think that will suffice? The jobs we produce cannot even sustain our ballooning population, what more food?

Condoms in lieu of Rice?

Recently, the government announced that it will allocate funds for contraceptives, viz: the use of condoms. But the church vehemently disagreed with this proposition. For the Church, the money to be used for condoms must be used for food instead. The opposition is holy on its face but as sinful as rubber sheaths. For me, it is even hypocritical than sacrificial.

Suppose the government agrees. The condoms are discarded, instead food are bought. My next question is, "How does that help the future of the country", "Does it stop the overcrowding numbers we have---now almost NINETY MILLION? The Catholic Church spokesperson said, that the government should focus on housing and food security. I agree. But while it may be true that social services must always be part of the government's program, I believe it is also part that the government should control the uncontrollable growth of population. The government cannot just produce food and allow the population to rise like rushing tides by the shores.

I firmly believe, it is not just food or housing that the government should provide. They should also provide measures to see that basic commodities are equally distributed and fairly abundant. In this thought: proportionality, equality and abundance can only be achieved if there are fewer people to struggle for jobs, food, housing and use of commodities.

The Church wanted the government to buy food instead of condoms. Why don't they start with their own backyard:

1.) Why not distribute their large tracts of land as housing for the poor?

2.) Why not sell their vast expensive collections for the charity they boast they serve?

3.) Why not put all the money offerings and offerings of goods be donated to the poor 100% instead of giving to the priests?

4.) Instead of beautifying churches, why not establish more orphanages, home-for-the-aged, livelihood centers?

5.) Why not allow Catholic schools like Ateneo, La Salle, UST admit more poor scholars from poorer communities, better open more free Catholic schools in BASECO, Tondo, Payatas and other slum areas?

6.) Why not open their private hospitals for the poor, they own Cardinal Santos, La Salle Hospital and St. Luke's right? Or yet, provide for better schemes to admit more charity-sponsored patients in Catholic hospitals...

7.) Why not use their shares in many corporations and donate the earned dividends for food security?

8.) Why not use their monasteries as farmlands and food be donated to charity?

The Lord said, "by the measure you use, there you shall be measured". Why pinpoint the sins of others, when you cannot practice what you preach? Is the Church too good to see other's mistakes but cannot see its own flaws? Are they becoming too much of a Pharisee and Sadducee?

Just thinking aloud.
