Church, laity hits refiling of divorce bill in House
THE Philippine Catholic Church and the laity criticized the re-filing at the House of Representatives a bill seeking to legalize divorce in the country.Fr. Jerome Secillano, Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines Public Affairs Committee Executive Secretary, said divorce will only further damage the foundation of the family.'It's unfortunate that some legislators would rather focus on breaking marriages than fixing them or strengthening marital bonds,' Fr.
The church, along with pro-life groups, strongly oppose the divorce proposal included in the DEATH bills because it is 'against the law of the Lord especially in strengthening the foundation of the family.'Fr. Secillano said that the move to 're-promote' divorce is to set aside the greater needs of Filipinos and only favor a few individuals who promote it.
