A Bishop from Mindanao became frank with his sermon against the other Catholic Church priests who love to live lavishly despite being a servant of God.
Zamboanga Bishop Moises Cuevas who was attending a convention at Mati City from February 14-16 surprised the other priests because of his sermon.
Cuevas narrated a case of a priest who allegedly bought five motorcycles despite being a servant of the Lord.
The said priest handed an envelop full of money to Cuevas which the latter refused.
He even revealed that some girls were riding with the priests.
“I told him to simply get rid of the girls he allowed to ride on his motorcycles with him,” Cuevas said.
He then told the other clergymen that they should address the problem of some priests being blinded by wealth.
“There is a big problem already when we are blinded. When we are blinded, we are running selfishly. The more we run after them, the blinder we become,” he said.
As of writing Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has yet to comment on Cuevas’ sermon.
It can be recalled that several priests has been accused of womanizing and even using the money of the church for their personal expenses.
