| Who's much closer to God, Manny Pacquio or Tim Tebow? |
According to latest news report CBCP is tapping world famous boxing champ Gin endorser Congressman Manny Pacquiao to be its bible poster boy just like Tim Tebow.
Here's the report according to AFP:
The influential Catholic Church on Monday said that it had asked boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao to follow in the footsteps of National Football League hero Tim Tebow and become a “Bible ambassador.”
According to Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, who presides over the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ Bible ministry, Church leaders had approached Pacquiao with the idea, but received no feedback from the 32-year-old fighter.
“We asked him to partner with us in promoting the reading of the Bible among Catholics,” David told reporters.
“We told him, ‘You would be a big help to us brother Manny,’ but he has not pledged his partnership yet.”
David said that Pacquiao could follow the example of the Philippine-born Tebow, a devout Christian dubbed by some in the press as “God’s quarterback.”
“Tim Tebow became very popular by promoting the word of God,” he noted.
“Some have referred to Manny Pacquiao as the Tim Tebow of the Philippines,” David said.
