CBCP head nagsalita na matapos ang pag-atake ni Duterte sa Simbahan

NAGSALITA na ang pinuno ng Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) matapos naman ang pag-atake ni President-elect Rodrigo Duterte laban sa Simbahan.
Sa kanyang mensahe na pinamagatang “Understanding Silence,” binigyang diin ni Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop at CBCP President Socrates Villegas ang kahalagahan ng katahimikan sa harap naman ng mga batikos ni Duterte laban sa Simbahang Katolika.
“There is virtue in silence. There is virtue in speech. Wisdom is knowing when it is time for silence and when is the timing for speech,” sabi ni Villegas.

“Mine is the silence of Jesus before the arrogance of Pilate…Mine is the language of peace that refuses the dark magic of revenge. Mine is the silence of respect for those who consider us their enemies but whose good we truly pray for and whose happiness we want to see unfold,” dagdag ni Villegas.
“You can understand my speech if you speak the language of silence. You can understand my silence if you know how to love like Him who was born one silent night,” ayon pa kay Villegas.
Nauna nang tinawag ni Duterte ang Simbahang Katolika na, “most hypocritical institution.”
Nangako rin si Duterte na ibubunyag ang mga umano’y pang-aabuso ng Simbahan sa kanyang anim-na taon niyang termino.
