CBCP: don’t sell goods on church grounds
By J.Lo
“It’s possible that it escalated to that point because priest had repeatedly asked nicely…some people can really be stubborn…how long should you be expected to stay calm?” Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) reminded vendors not to sell goods within church premises following viral video of heated argument between priest and vendor.
CBCP Commission on Public Affairs Executive Secretary Jerome Secillano said on Monday, April 14, he would give “ benefit of the doubt” to the priest who appeared frustrated with vendor.
In the viral video, the priest repeatedly told vendor to sell their goods “sa labas” or outside after the vendor refused to comply. One could hear the frustration as he raised his voice when telling the vendor to leave church’s compound.
One video included caption “Makadiyos pero parang ‘di na ata makatao ‘yan… .”
It would be unfair to judge someone based solely on short clip, especially one that lacks context, Secillano said.
Asked if investigation should be conducted, Secillano said there’s no need to since it’s only minor incident that was only made worse because it went viral.
“What’s clear here is that priests know how to conduct themselves… not like they would just storm in and confront people right away,” he added. St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Cainta, Rizal where incident occurred issued statement on Sunday, April 13, saying viral video was “incomplete and one-sided.”
Parish expressed regret to those who felt hurt or disturbed by the footage, especially as it circulated on Palm Sunday.
It clarified, however, that before the incident, parish officials “had already made respectful and clear appeal to all vendors to refrain from selling” within church’s private grounds, in deference to its sacredness and parish regulations.
“While we do not condone any act of anger from any party, especially within grounds of our church, we also ask faithful to view the matter with understanding and fairness, considering full context,” the statement read.
Secillano also clarified that there is no ban on selling. Vendors are allowed to sell, “just not within church grounds.”
“Hindi naman naiiba ang simbahan…may mga panununtunan din,” he added. Affected church urged public not to let tension caused by video “overshadow grace of this Holy Week,” emphasizing how Jesus Christ responded with love and mercy even in face of misunderstanding and betrayal.
Church added it is open to continued dialogue and pastoral accompaniment for individuals who are troubled by the video.
