Tell it to SunStar: Demonic 'church meddling' in politics (Part 1)

The article "Tell it to SunStar: Demonic church meddling in politics (Part 1)" by Fr. Roy Cimagala, published in SunStar Cebu, discusses the controversial involvement of the church in political matters. Fr. Cimagala argues that while the church should engage in politics to promote moral and ethical values, it must avoid partisan politics. He highlights the dangers of the church becoming too involved in political power struggles, which could lead to a loss of its spiritual authority and credibility. The piece reflects on historical examples where church involvement in politics led to negative outcomes, suggesting that the church's role should be to guide and influence through moral teachings rather than direct political action. Cimagala emphasizes the need for the church to maintain its prophetic voice, focusing on spiritual guidance rather than temporal power, to truly serve its flock and society.
