Bishops remind Aquino of Church’s stand on RH Bill

Published by rudy Date posted on May 14, 2010

MANILA, Philippines—Roman Catholic bishops around the country Thursday aired their support for “president-in-waiting” Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III in his promise to fight poverty and corruption, but reminded that the Church’s stand on the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill would never change.

As a senator, Aquino was a known supporter of the controversial bill that sparked several discussions on morality and other issues touched by the failed bill. He later said he was for “responsible parenthood.”

In a statement posted at the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines website, CBCP president and Tandag Bishop Nereo Odchimar said that though the Church would maintain a “critical collaboration” with Aquino’s forthcoming administration, he maintained that the pro-life advocacy of the church is “non-negotiable.” –Jerome Aning, Angelo Cabrera, Philippine Daily Inquirer
