Marcos Jr. camp chides Catholic clergy for ‘hateful and negative campaigning’
The camp of presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. accused the Catholic clergy of "meddling" in politics and abusing the pulpit for hateful campaigning.
Marcos Jr.'s spokesman, lawyer Vic Rodriguez, expressed sadness over the actions of some clergy members who he claims are doing the opposite of calling for unity.
Rodriguez urged the clergy to be more circumspect and refrain from openly meddling in political affairs.
He also called on them to stop making reckless statements that could be spiritually, morally, socially, and culturally poisonous.
The statement from the Marcos camp followed endorsements of Marcos Jr.'s rivals by various religious groups and criticisms of the Marcoses by some prominent Catholic Church members.
