Why is the Church silent amidst too much corruption?

When good people are indifferent while evil people plunder the nation, there's something wrong with our country. The Roman Catholic Church is religiously silent.

- Atty. Josephus B. Jimenez

If Jesus Christ were here today, he would be the first to denounce why the house of his father is being transformed into a den of scalawags and thieves.

Our religious leaders are closing their eyes and keeping their peace while the president, not known to be too religious, has voiced his outrage in the face of multi-billion alleged flood control corruptions. If Jaime Cardinal Sin were alive today, he would go on Radio Veritas and ask people to march to express the nation's collective outrage at the alleged abuses.

If Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle were based in Cebu, I'm sure he would use the pulpit to conscientize these public officials who are also members of the Church. In fact, Tagle did express his denunciation when he was the speaker in San Mateo, Rizal. The highest ranking Filipino pillar of the Roman Catholic Church, currently the pro-prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization of Peoples, as well as the titular bishop of the Suburbicarian Diocese of Albano, took a swipe against the alleged corruption in the flood control projects. He linked this anomaly to the endless ravaging of our environment which brings untold sufferings to the people especially the poor.
