Has President Aquino incited the wrath of God?

Some of the talk among religious types last week, coming after the Papal visit and the second Maguindanao massacre, this time of elite police troops, was whether President Benigno Aquino 3rd has brought the wrath of God upon himself and his rule.

The devotees divining heavenly messages in earthly events wonder whether Aquino’s untruthful attack on Catholic bishops in his welcome message to Pope Francis at the Palace on January 16 has incited the Almighty to bring him down (see the Jan 17 column, “After cheering Pope Francis, will we crucify him?”).
