MANILA<\/strong>\u2014 Another Catholic prelate passed away. Butuan Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos died Saturday. He was 74.<\/p>\n

Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas expressed grief over Pueblos’ demise.<\/p>\n

Villegas, however, said that while the death brings sadness, people should also look at it with hope and faith in God.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery death diminishes us. Something in us dies when a loved one dies. In the death of Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos a part of us dies too but we look at death with hope and faith in the Risen Lord,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Catholic prelate added, \u201cHe is a priest forever. The battle is over! The victory is won. Well done, good and faithful priest of God! Pray for us Bishop Didi.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cause of death of the Butuan bishop is yet to be identified.<\/p>\n

Pueblos served the Diocese for 22 years. He was born in Moto Sur in Loon town, Bohol in 1943 and was ordained as a priest in 1968.<\/p>\n

In 1985, Pueblos was named auxiliary bishop of Davao and later ordained titular bishop of Zaba\u2019s diocese.<\/p>\n

He served as bishop in Kidapawan for eight years before coming to Butuan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
