Priests, not politicos, offer highest service

The priesthood is still the highest form of service to the community, a high-ranking official of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines said Wednesday. But Fr. Francis Lucas, the recently appointed interim executive secretary of the CBCP’s Episcopal Commission on Social Communications and Mass Media, added that he could relate with other priests who think that they could best serve the faithful by running for political office. The role of a priest is more important than the role of a politician, he said. What ordinary people, mothers and fathers, should do is to create future politicians with principles in life, he added as he noted the decreasing number of principled and morally responsible politicians in the country. According to Lucas, he is saddened that more and more priests are trying to enter politics just because of lack of candidates with ethics. Bernice Camille V. Bauzon, Manila Times

Priests are for the church, politicos are for plundering the coffers of their office to enrich themselves...

But plunder and enrichment should not be a monopoly to politicos only...

Everybody is welcome to plunder...priests and
laymen too...
