PRIESTS, BACOLEÑOS URGED The Diocese of Bacolod will spearhead a grand rally against the Reproductive Health Law on April 27, from 1 up to 6 p.m., at the Bacolod Public Plaza. In a circular letter he issued, Bishop Vicente Navarra called on all parish priests, parochial vicars, chaplains, and rectors of churches, superiors of seminaries, institutes of consecrated and societies of apostolic life, heads of schools and law associations, and the Christian faithful of the diocese to join the rally. The bishop again underscored the need to repeal the RH Law, and said that the “Diocese of Bacolod has been consistent in its defense of the sanctity of human life in the face of the evil of the Reproductive Health policy that some of our government leaders have been staunchly advocating”. |
