Philippine Prelate: Don’t Vote for Candidates who Support Abortion, Divorce
Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen Dagupan
Emphasizing that the Church does not endorse political candidates,
the vice president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the
Philippines said in a pastoral letter that Catholics should not vote for
candidates who support abortion, divorce, or same-sex marriage.
“When the Church ENDORSES CANDIDATES in political elections she always
ends up a LOSER,” wrote Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen
Dagupan. “The endorsed candidate may win in the votes but the Church
never wins with him. In endorsing candidates, the Bride of Christ the
Church tarnishes her spiritual mission with the stain of the mundane.
The endorsed candidate might win but religion has been reduced to a
political party; religion has been used for political gain and our
spiritual mission has been compromised. We will be lonesome widows after
the elections for marrying partisan politics during the campaign.”
