WHEN he was going from coffin to coffin at the necrological services on the Day of Mourning for our valiant 44 PNP-SAF Heroes last Friday, President BS Aquino made the Sign of the Cross improperly many-- maybe 44--times.

The correct way is to touch one’s forehead, the breast and the left and right shoulders, to make the form a cross, while praying, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.” Review the video and you will see him not touching his forehead, or his shoulders, or his left and right shoulders--therefore not forming the Sign of the Cross. He often crossed his stomach instead.
