False prophets fuel people’s fears, ignorance

The officials of the Catholic Church appealed to the Filipino people to strengthen their faith and to put their fate in God instead of believing anybody who spreads fears through false prophesies.

Following reports of the “mysterious disease” in Pangasinan, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) President and Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas said that the people should ignore the prophecies because what the people deserve is “hope.”
