i believe so... they do not have a united position on the separation of the church and the state. Maraming pari dyan mas matindi pa pumapel sa politika kesa sa politiko. nakakawalang respeto.
pag kasi sinabi mong simbahan, di naman ibig sabihin non e exempted kana makialam sa mga nangyayari outside the church.meron din silang rights na mag air ng opinion nila as citizens of the phils diba.parang sa mga pulis, outside the precint common tao lang yan pero pag nasa presinto sila ang incharge.then sila andyan sa simbahan para magbigay ng guidance na pwedeng sundin or not.nasa individual yan kung papaapekto sila sa nangyayaring pakikialam ng mga pari.
i wont generalize. but i lost respect to those priests and bishops involved. that is why you should always pray so that God will give you grace so that you could discern properly
could be. turn-off na ang masyadong politicized clergy. minsan ang policies pa ng church masyado nang antiquated at inflexible. makes me think that some of the old fogeys of the church are caught in a time warp
