SEN. MIRIAM DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO is right. In calling for character change instead of Charter change, the Catholic Church hierarchy in the Philippines should first admit its failure to inculcate Catholic values among Filipinos.
The Dec. 17 prayer rally only revealed that we Filipinos address every pressing national problem and issue by using passion instead of reason.
I always believe that Christ wants the clergy to lead in promoting love and brotherhood. Sadly enough, some priests, and even a few bishops, add to the chaos and misunderstanding in Philippine society today. They even encourage the use of violence to change governments.
They should first address the "character change" message to themselves before they preach it to others. --ROMULO VITOR, via e-mail
