Not God’s or bishops’ business
Do the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP)’s pastoral letters, or what is referred to as the bishops’ official stand on whatever issue discussed at the time, carry any weight, or, more to the point, being respected, if not obeyed, by the bishops themselves? It doesn’t appear to be so, as at least two bishops have publicly announced they are endorsing a presidential candidate, which the CBCP had already publicly stated that bishops and priests should not and won’t endorse any presidential candidate. The thing is, with the way the accountability of a bishop is structured, CBCP as a body, has no power at all to sanction the bishops who do not toe the official Church line, as bishops answer only to the Pope.
