Titled, 'Illusions of Influence: Clerical Partisan Engagement during the 2022 Elections,' Genilo's paper is due for publication in the Loyola Papers next year. But a good friend has sent me a copy with a genial request to comment on it, if I pleased.
SOME six months after some bishops, priests and nuns tried to mobilize public support against the winning presidential candidate Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. in favor of his closest rival Leni Robredo, a Jesuit theologian has declared that clerical intervention in that election was doctrinally wrong and damaging to the pastoral mission of the Catholic Church.This is the main thesis of a lecture given by Fr. Eric Marcelo O.
If enough clergy unite their endorsements for a candidate, it can give the impression that the Church is calling for a Catholic vote in favor of a candidate, he points out. The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines disclaims any effort to promote a Catholic vote in any election. But Genilo says 'the imaginary of the Philippines as a Catholic nation emboldens the CBCP to make political interventions when it perceives that proposed national laws will violate Church teachings.
