Read why a court found Carlos Celdran guilty of 'offending religious feelings'

MANILA, Philippines – The church was packed with Catholic bishops, nuns, a choir, soldiers, Protestants and a rabbi.

A procession carried a bible to the altar and attendees began to read passages. A man dressed like a doctor from the 1800s walked down the aisle. He raised a sign with the word “Damaso” in front of a cardinal. “Don’t meddle in politics,” he shouted.

He was promptly escorted out of the cathedral and handcuffed. Afterwards, a Holy Mass took place.

These are the facts according to the witnesses at the Manila Cathedral the afternoon of Sept 30, 2010.
