The elections, President Arroyo and Jesus

The priest who celebrated the Mass likened Ms Arroyo’s candidacy to the action of Jesus Christ, whom he said “went down to serve.”

I wonder what the clergy was thinking by comparing Mrs. Arroyo to Jesus. In what context? The Roman Catholic Church should review statements like this and should reprimand the priest who uttered these words. The pope never likened himself to Jesus so why would a priest say such a claim? Do we think that our hope is really pinned on a person than on God? Are we running out of real hope that the president is presented as the savior the Kapampangans are looking for?
