The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines ended a three-day plenary assembly with several resolutions including the move to recite an obligatory prayer for peace."We will issue an Oratio Imperata for peace, on the context of the growing geo-political tensions in our part of the world," said CBCP president Bishop Pablo Virgilio David during a press conference held in Barangay Cugman, Cagayan de Oro City.
"We are not political leaders, we are spiritual and moral leaders. And we know that our compatriots, people in the country are getting tense,” the prelate said.“We do not want to add fuel, further fuel to the tension. Nobody wants a war. Our parents were people who experienced, they were part of a generation that were traumatized by the Second World War. And so, we really have not just to work for peace, but to pray for peace our disposition as bishops," he said.
