Lingayen Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz sees no need for the bishops to debate with incoming president Rodrigo Duterte. Instead, Cruz suggested that Duterte should just expose what he knows about the so called sins of the Catholic Church.
“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,” he said in an interview.
“If he says that he knows of some bishops and priests with children, I think he should reveal this and give the proper evidence so that the Church can do something about it,” added Cruz.
The prelate said the church never said that there are no bad bishops and priests.
“Of course there are!” said Cruz.
