MANILA, Philippines—As if making good the resolve of Church officials to use this week’s Lenten observance to push its reproductive health (RH) agenda on the Catholic faithful, two leading clerics have come out with a stinging rebuke of President Benigno Aquino III for the latter’s undisguised support for reproductive health legislation.
Retired Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz called Mr. Aquino “anti-Christian” for challenging the Church as it were in boldly declaring that he was willing to be excommunicated if that is what supporting the controversial reproductive health bill would entail.
“It’s like he’s taunting us. He’s practically saying, ‘let’s see who wins.’ It’s childish. If you’re a leader, you win people, not alienate them… He has a sense of omnipotence, of arrogance,” Cruz said in an interview with ABS-CBN television late Monday.

Ay grabe, nagsalita. :\
Oh, and if you’re a leader, you’re also supposed to empower people and help them think for themselves, not scare them and threaten them with excommunication everytime they question you.
