It's truly a blessing, and therefore very heartwarming, to see the earnest, simple manifestation of faith among our countrymen these past days with the pastoral visit of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. Thanks be to God, it's happily and healthily contagious.

It turns out that it doesn’t.

But the precise context in which we pose the question is not the broad area of the Church’s role in politics, but the role of the clergy in the impeachment process. This is a much narrower question and the encyclical doesn’t, in my view, give all the answers.

In a public talk that he gave, attended by seminarians and nuns, he denounced the lack of the spirit of Jesus Christ in the Philippine Church.

Issued at a time when the CBCP was preparing a statement on the bishops' post impeachment stance, the senator must have been afraid that the group would come up with an anti-Gloria pronouncement. What CBCP came out with, however, was supportive of PGMA's government coupled with a veiled rebuff to those who were agitating for mass actions.
