Bakak ang pangangkon sa usa ka Facebook page nga ang kanhi arsobispo sa Manila nga si Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle mahimong labing una nga Santo Papa gikan sa Asya kun mapili. Siya’y mahimong unang obispo ug pangulo sa Romano Katoliko’ng Simbahang.
The latest promotion of Tagle once again debunks the claim of President Rodrigo Duterte that Tagle was removed from his post as Archbishop of Manila and moved to the Vatican by the Pope because Tagle “was too involved in politics”.
A church official has called for prayers instead of making speculations on the process of choosing a successor for Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle as Manila archbishop.
There are many factors at play in the choice of the next occupant of the See of Manila, a position of influence in the Asian church. Its profile was raised by one of its most famous modern prelates, Jaime Cardinal Sin, who was instrumental to the ouster of two Philippine presidents.
The Church has been a strident critic of the Duterte government’s bloody war on drugs, and as a result has been at the receiving end of tirades and insults from the Catholic-educated President Rodrigo Duterte.
