Why Fr. Fernando Suarez distanced himself from CBCP's anti-Arroyo call

"Healing priest" Father Fernando Suarez has distanced himself from the recent pronouncements of five members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines that called for a change in leadership -- a stand that is deemed against President Arroyo and her administration.

"Pwede ba na 'wag naman nating i-destabilize ang bansa na hirap na hirap na. Let’s just wait (Is it possible not to destablize our country that's already hurting?)," he told ABS-CBN Europe News Bureau in Heston in Middlesex, England.

He, however, said that the things that the five bishops did were according to God's will and with the people in mind.

"I’m just hoping and praying na kagustuhan ng Diyos ang ginagawa ng bawat isa para sa ikagaganda at ikauunlad ng ating bayan (I'm just hoping and praying that whatever each of them did was in accordance with God's will and with the people and the country in mind)," Suarez said.
