Cardinal David says Catholic lawmakers involved in corruption sought his guidance

Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David disclosed that some Catholic lawmakers involved in alleged corruption, including the multibillion-peso flood control fund scam, have sought his moral and spiritual guidance.

These legislators approached him because their consciences were bothering them, and some appeared unaware that their actions were wrong, justifying patronage politics by claiming the funds would benefit the poor.

Cardinal David confirmed that the lawmakers who sought his advice came from both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

He expressed optimism that their willingness to seek guidance indicates their conscience is still alive and they can still change their ways.
