February 16, 2026
Comments on “Religious leaders need to speak up,” (Flea Market of Ideas by Joel Ruiz Butuyan, 2/12/26) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:
The most vocal among the priests whose homilies touch on the current political affairs in the country is Monsignor Rolando Bautista … This shows the Catholic Church is not remiss in reminding the people about what is happening to the country.
Jesus Clavo
The Church has not been silent and cannot be silent because it is every baptized Christian’s duty to detest what is evil and to cling or support what is good (Romans 12: 9).
Eugenio del Saz-Orozco
In a similar vein, churches must call out corrupt politicians who professed their membership to their church.
