Roman Catholic Church tells Filipinos that God is on Leni Robredo's side

Trust the Roman Catholic Church to get involved in all the wrong ways. What exactly does "praying over" the lawyers of "vice president" Leni Robredo in the lead up to the vote recount today to determine who really won the vice presidency back in 2016? It shows that the Church is endorsing one side of the dispute and is not really interested nor curious to learn the truth.

In the modern world, the truth can only be revealed after a systematic effort through a process that applies a consistent set of rules that all parties involved adhere to.

The Church would like Filipinos to believe that there are powers that are above the rules prescribed by the State and that these powers are on the side of Leni Robredo.

This is the sort of thinking that is ingrained in Philippine society thanks to the examples exhibited by the Church in the manner with which it participates in democratic processes.
