Card. Tagle urges ministers to be socially involved


Philippine Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle has urged ministers in the Philippines to seek out more meaningful roles in the Church where they can make a difference. "It’s good that we have many volunteers for lectors and commentators, but sometimes there are too many of them," the Archbishop of Manila said in a forum June 14 in Quezon City.  He noted that when a minister is asked to focus on human rights, people regard it as dangerous or scary.  He lamented that “social involvement” is often “weak at the parish grassroots level” in the Philippines. Cardinal Tagle also took a swipe at corrupt government officials, saying when they are called to be pro-God, pro-life, pro-country, and pro-environment they become cowards, but when it comes to being mischievous, they not only are brave but very creative.  The world "thirsts for good governance", Cardinal Tagle urged.    (Source: UCANEWS)
