The Chopsuey Faith

I know we all have our differences and also certain uniqueness. But in terms of calling yourself a Christian especially a Catholic sometimes makes me wonder if this is applicable. I once heard a priest who describe us Filipinos to have a chopsuey faith. It is because we tend to borrow from other belief and practice them but still call ourselves Catholics. There are belief on karma, charms especially for prosperity, horoscope and fortune telling, fear of lamang luma so we must pay respect, etc. For instance the celebrity sister of our dear President is noted for her devotions as a Catholic and even would feature different churches, praying there with all her staff and guests. But she is also noted as an avid supporter of feng shui and fortune telling. I even heard her saying each one of us is entitled to have our own belief. This pertains to another celebrity whom she guested and also have charms and buddhas in her home but also have religious statues. I remember how me and my mother has several encounters because of this topic. I told her you are not a chinese so why perform all the rituals during eve of chinese new year. Or even believe on luck brought by charms and what the future holds for her (or for us) brought by astrology and fortune tellers. Or believing on karma when something bad happened. This is what I meant as calling yourself Catholic but your belief has some mixed conceptions of another. I always believe that a true Catholic would follow what the church teaches and believe that it is from Jesus Christ himself. And most of all by now as an adult one must know his/her God. Nevertheless who am I to judge. Perhaps it all depends on what kind of relationship we have with God. What I can only do is to remind them given a chance on what is the truth. For instance I told my mother recently that I don't believe on good luck charms/prosperity charms but I certainly believe on God's blessings. This has stopped her in performing rituals during chinese new year's eve.
