EDSA II was a mistake. What guarantee there is that Puno or anyone else will not be like or worse than this one?
Correcting it with another will not make it right anytime. Even if they succeed in their plans, there is an election in 2010. Patience would be a virtue instead of haste.
Is governance now part of the bishops’ temporal responsibility? Look at the wholesale moral decay we are in now — is morality not their major temporal responsibility? They failed miserably yet they want to take more responsibility. Their effort will be more productive if they work hard at uplifting the moral standards of those who are coming after this morally bankrupt generation.
Unless they are planning to run for public office, grandstanding is not the way to go but to lead in humility as exemplified by Jesus.

I agree with you Alfredo. These bishops have been interfering in purely state affairs. They cannot even clean their own backyard but still they have the gall to criticize. And look! Isn’t one of these bishops is a coddler of fugitives from the law? Remember how his rest house was used to hide members of the Magdalo group? No wonder, the Catholic is losing much of its membership to other Christian denominations simply because their official hierarchy is doing nothing about their pastoral responsibilities but rather enjoy the limelight that political interference gives them. Whewww…… Erap is right after all. These bishops have no business in politics.
