One of the most prominent leader of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines, Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz challenged the incoming President from Davao City, Mayor Rody Duterte to expose what he knows about the so called sins of the Catholic Church.

Mayor Duterte PresidentArchbishop Cruz also stated that he sees no need for the bishops to debate with incoming President Rody Duterte. The archbishop from Luzon was quoted as saying “Debates do not resolve matters. So, if he wants to expose what he knows about the mistakes or sins of churchmen, please do so. There is no problem. So, they can be corrected,” Archbishop Cruz said in an interview.

The archbishop also added that if Mayor Duterte knows of some bishops and priests with children, he should reveal this, and give the proper evidence so that the Church can do something about it.

The prelate also admitted that there are some bishops who commits sins against the rule of law of the Roman Catholic church and indeed there are bad bishops and priests.

Archbishop Cruz reasons out that the Roman Catholic church has a built in mechanism to cleanse its own ranks and clergy. Mayor Rody Dutere, described earlier the Roman Catholic Church as the “most hypocritical institution” since it is supposedly projecting itself as being good but has some of its members also committing wrongdoings.
