YAN, PAKIALAMERO KASI - CBCP Archbishop Socrates Villegas Sinupalpal ng isang Doctora

Dr. Ethel Pineda lambasted the church especially Archbishop Socrates Villegas because of their statement where they blamed President Duterte for the death of a priest in Nueva Ecija, Father Richmond Nilo.

“They are kllling our flock. They are kllling us shepherds. They are kllling our faith. They are cursing our Church. They are kllling God again as they did in Calvary,” according to Villegas.

Pineda said that the church statement was addressed to the current administration, so she challenged the Archbishop to prove to the public that President Duterte is really involved of the priest's death.

She added that if the priests really know the suspect, they will cooperate with the police to bring justice to Father Richmond Nilo.

In the end of her post, Dr. Pineda slammed Archbishop Socrates Villegas using the words of God taken from the Bible.

Who are “they,” Archbishop Socrates Villegas?

“Do you mean this government? Why don’t you say it outright, instead of couching your assertions in pronouns? Why don’t you, so you can provide the people proof that it is the government doing the killing, if you are so sure of that. Innuendos do not build a case. They mislead. Something that a true shepherd will not do to his flock.

Do you know who killed the priests? Do tell us, because we, too, want to see the face of the “outrageously evil” murderers. Tell the police. Help bring them to justice. That is your civic duty.

It is very disturbing and plainly disappointing that the Catholic Church chooses to side with the forces that conspire and scheme to bring down the duly-elected president who enjoys unprecedented popular support.

Archbishop Villegas. Isn’t this what the Bible says?

“Every person must obey the leaders of the land. There is no power given but from God, and all leaders are allowed by God. 2 The person who does not obey the leaders of the land is working against what God has done. Anyone who does that will be punished.

3 Those who do right do not have to be afraid of the leaders. Those who do wrong are afraid of them. Do you want to be free from fear of them? Then do what is right. You will be respected instead. 4 Leaders are God’s servants to help you. If you do wrong, you should be afraid. They have the power to punish you. They work for God. They do what God wants done to those who do wrong.
