Edcel Lagman, the main sponsor of the legislation in the Filipino parliament, seemed intent on creating the impression that he has been threatened with excommunication. But he has not—a spokesman for the bishops pointed out.
Msgr. Juanito Figura, the secretary-general of the episcopal conference, said that “there’s no threat of excommunication to him, the president or anybody.”
Leaving aside the question of formal excommunication, Bishop Arturo Bastes of Sorsogon added that Lagman’s public statement shows that the political leader wants to “separate himself from the Church.”
He is after the P3Billion budget that goes with the bill. He claims to a an "acolyte" as a child. It seems he never knew Jesus Christ eversince.
ReplyDeleteSo, his excommunication does not mean a thing to him.
It's all about him and money money money.
If one follows his interpolation in congress about the bill, everything is obvious....He is not a true Catholic.
His words, "I am a congessman who happens to be a catholic and not a catholic congressman"
His arguments based on his beliefs has no value to the Filipino people.
