Catholic Church leaders in three archdioceses in the Philippines condemned what they described as “a murderous and corrupt public order” in the country.
Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, said the "unwavering" Christian faith of the Filipino people has to be shared to everyone.
Catholic church leaders in the Philippines urged the faithful, especially church institutions, to respond to the coronavirus pandemic “with the eyes of faith, with the heart of charity, and with the armor of truth.”
Illness and death, anguish and anger are not the only legacies of the novel coronavirus contagion in the Philippines.
Lapsed Catholics riding out the pandemic in their homes have found renewed faith and are fueling a resurgence in “communion of souls,” said Bishop Gerardo Alminaza.
