Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) vice president Socrates Villegas, in a pastoral letter read during the first day of the 9-series Simbanggabi or dawn masses, said “Contraception corrupts the soul.” The RH bill, if enacted into law, will facilitate access by the poor to contraceptives and mandate sex education in schools. President Benigno Aquino III had certified the bill urgent. Villegas’ pastoral letter said Filipino Catholics should pray that legislators and other statesmen will heed the “true interests of the Filipino people.” This means “upholding life, saying no to contraception, which is corruption, and being faithful to the Christ Child, who was pro-woman, pro-child and pro-poor.”
