The view of the Catholic Church Hierarchy about the objection to the Rizal Law and the rh
Law. This was also mentioned earlier by the other reporters.
(Churches use the same reasoning to oppose Rizal law and rh law, saying that it violates the
Catholic right to conscience and religion and declaring that Contraception is corruption and
the rh law is anti-life) To elaborate this;
It was being said; by Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, which in this the
Catholic Church Hierarchy held a mass, just like they did in the previous Rizal Law, to
discuss their opposition. According to him: Contraception is corruption because the bill will
use government or taxpayers' money to give out contraceptive pills for free. Modern
contraceptive methods prevent procreation, ecourage infidelity, and triggered abortion
generation. Senators Gregorio Honasan also supported it. State that they should not politicize
the bill. Parallel to the Rizal Law, Sen. Laurel whos in favor as mentioned.
Villegas also said Aquino Administration only sees babies as a burden in the country ‘cause
of its growing population. Putting Former President Aquino on a tightrope like Senator
Rodrigo, the anti-Rizal bill did to Former President Magsaysay.
Manila Archbishop Antonio Cardinal Tagle also said the church has always been on the side
of the oppressed. Parallel to the Rizal Law, they stated that they only defended the right of
Catholic teachers or students who disliked teaching or thought by the R.A 1425.
So now, we know what the Catholic church hierarchy draws from, according to Villegas. And
that is all. We're thankful that you did not fall asleep on our report, have a blessed day,
everyone.
