BASED on her reading of the encyclical "Deus Caritas Est" given her by Pope Benedict XVI, President Arroyo has accused Msgr.

Unambiguous ambiguity
THE laity’s mind has to be clear about what’s usually meant by "the Church." There is the Vatican as the Church, the Church as the body of Christ, and there are the Bishops' Conference, and parish priests. When the Bishops' Conference issues a pastoral letter describing its disinclination to support another impeachment proceeding and priests – monsignors – sign articles of impeachment, where does the Church stand?
The bishops’ say...
