Aquino is bad Catholic, says Laguna Church official

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III is a bad Catholic and his conscience is not well-formed, a Catholic leader in Laguna said on Tuesday in response to the President’s declaration last Sunday ascertaining the passage of the controversial Reproductive Health bill by his administration.

“He is misled,” Father Jerry Oblepias, Laguna diocesan director of the Family Life Ministry, said of the President. “What he is thinking as ways to solve poverty are the easy and lazy ways. He must face the real issue, that we are poor because of bad governance and bad economic policies,” he added.

He said Aquino’s latest declaration was far from his election campaign battle cry: “No corruption, no poverty.”

In a telephone interview, Father Oblepias told the Philippine Daily Inquirer that Aquino had a “falsified conscience” and had an utter disrespect for the sentiments of thousands of Catholics around the country who called for rejection of the RH Bill, which they condemned as anti-life and anti-family.
