A few days ago the CBCP issued a statement exhorting the proposed bills on sex education and reproductive health, saying that "the foundation of the moral society is a central religious truth" and that "to disregard moral and religious truths...is to be defenseless to the onslaught of corruption."
The endless meddling of the CBCP in the affairs of the supposedly secular State from one presidency to the next drives people to angrily invoke Article II Section 6 of the 1987 Phlippine Constitution: The separation of Church and State shall be inviolable. But as tempers cool down and rationality takes over, one begins to wonder if the CBCP is indeed violating this rule.
