BAGUIO CITY, Philippines – A priest at the Baguio Cathedral drew flak from some Catholics after he ordered people supporting the reproductive health bill to leave the church and stop hearing Mass.

I believe that this action is very childish. Is God Biased? Would he ask us if we die if we supported the RH bill? I believe that what the priest did was wrong because he’s forcing people to do what he thinks is right. God gave people free will and he’s taking it away from the people. What if the person who is supporting the RH bill is sincere in his going to mass, the priest has no right to ask him to leave because he’s there to listen to the word of God, and he’s not there to talk about the RH bill.

"Kung meron nakikimisa dito pero pro-RH bill… Please, go out. It's useless," the priest said.

Why? Does it make the pro reproductive health bill people devils? This is wrong because as what I have said, Going to mass is different from discussing the bill itself, I don’t think I would stand it if I wanted to pray and the priest will go on defending the RH bill, when in fact he should be discussing about what happened in the life of Jesus. What he did was so wrong.

The prelate also criticized Hontiveros-Baraquel. "Ang ganda-gandang babae niya...pero ang pangit-pangit ng stand niya."

Does this mean that people will be judged according to their stands? I don’t think this is right. First of all, the priest doesn’t have to include names and why is he judging people. Does being a priest give him the right to do so? This article is very shocking because you wouldn’t think that any priest in the right mind would do so.

After doing such act, the priest left for vacation. Why?
He can’t defend his stand anymore? What he did was wrong and it was an insult to all Catholics. I think that discussing the Reproductive health bill should not be done inside churches because people there are trying to understand and hear mass, not the Reproductive health bill. People want to hear the words of Jesus, not the words of any priest who would tell people to change what they believe in. Seriously? If I was there I would be in rage. The priest didn’t respect the rights of a person, also he needs to review on what the commandment says. He is not God, and he has no right to tell a person to not go to church because of what they believe in. The sermon shouldn’t be about the RH bill because where in history did politics and the church become one. There should be a separation of the church and the government.
I’m not anti-church. I’m just saying that what that priest did was too far.
