I think this is a display of disrespect. You may not agree with a Church but I think we should at least respect their beliefs. I am a Roman Catholic, and I am not against the Reproductive Health Bill that the government is trying to put into law. Neither, I am not also against my Church. For me, the government should do anything for the welfare of its citizens. At the same time, the Church should do as well. Both the Church and the State my have a different views about the population growth, but what's common, is the fact that the Philippines is now facing a big problem on the population growth. If the government solution for this is the RH Bill then let them impose it. And for the Church, if they are against the Bill, then let them do their job of educating their followers of what they should do to limit the population growth.
I may not agree with the Roman Catholic Church on this issue, but I am against the doing of Carlos Celdran, when he disrupted a Mass in the Manila Cathedral. He disrespect our Church. I may not agree with Muslim, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Churches, but I think it is not right to disrespect them specially on during the time they are praying. If Carlos Celdran really wanted to show his opinion against the Catholic Church, why not do it in front of the Church. Or in front of a TV networks' camera. He just wanted popularity for his own.

what celdran do was wrong but strangely I feel that if celdran did not do that the sentiments of the majority of the filipinos will not be heard..and because of that the bishops became more cautious with their statements, they saw the pouring in of support to celdran from social media sites..the bishops even denied making excommunication threats to Pnoy..
