Church protects flock
Philippine Daily Inquirer
December 10, 1991
Who is to say who among the political candidates should be endorsed for the 1992 election? I am sure it is not Ninez Cacho Olivares who wrote that the "Catholic Church's endorsement record is lousy" (PDI, 11/17/91).
The Catholic Church has always been accused of politicking. But can we blame the Church if she protects her flock from unscrupulous political candidates? In these days when monstrous lies are told before elections, we must set ourselves againts political falsehood and misinterpretation of the political candidates' motives. And this is exactly what the Church is doing.
It is because there are candidates who are "wolves in sheep's clothing" that the Church purports to safeguard her flock.
When Cardinal Sin, his bishops and priests endorse political candidates who are God-fearing, they are only demonstrating their loyalty to Christ and to His teachings.
