The irony of this remark is that in the Philippines, a country of more than 100 million people, of whom four out of five are Roman Catholic, it is precisely the Church that has been the ideological colonizer. It is the Church, after all, that has vigorously sought to impose its opposition to contraception on the population, opposing even the provision of contraceptives by the government to the rural poor.
这番评论的讽刺之处在于，在菲律宾这个人口超1亿并且五分之四为罗马天主教徒的国家，天主教会正是意识形态殖民者。毕竟，是教会大力寻求向菲律宾人施加反避孕观点，他们甚至反对政府向农村贫困人口提供避孕手段。
