ALFRED FRIAS\/ PRESIDENTIAL PHOTO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; A Catholic prelate on Monday said the remarks of a fellow priest wishing ill upon President Rodrigo Duterte was an inappropriate joke.<\/p>\n<p>Fr. Jerome Secillano, parish priest of the Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Perpetuo Socorro Parish in Sampaloc, Manila, said the remarks of Father Noel Gatchalian do not reflect the view of the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not the whole sentiment of the whole [Catholic] Church because the Church\u2019s mission is to pray for the sick to get well. The gospel yesterday is about the sick person who was healed by Jesus. So<em>\u00a0hindi pwedeng simbahan ay magdadasal para magkasakit ang isang tao<\/em>\u00a0(the Church should not pray for a person to get sick). That is not the mission of the Church,\u201d Secillano said in a forum in Manila.<\/p>\n<p>Secillano said it is Fr. Gatchalian&#8217;s superior, not the Catholic Bishops&#8217; Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), who can sanction him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the part of Catholic Bishops\u2019 Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), it does not have constituency [over priests]. It has constituency over bishops who are heads of the dioceses,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Gatchalian earlier offered prayers for the President to become ill during a mass outside the office of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV last week.<\/p>\n<p>Trillanes is facing possible arrest after President Rodrigo Duterte, through Proclamation No. 572, declared as void ab initio the amnesty granted to him by former President Benigno Aquino III.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212; A Catholic prelate on Monday said the remarks of a fellow priest wishing ill upon President Rodrigo Duterte was &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":180474,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-180936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-ferdinand-patinio","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
