Miriam Santiago on ‘Worthy of the Fires of Hell’ Statement by Fr. Arevalo: "I was born this way."
Senator-Judge Miriam Defensor-Santiago found another enemy in the ongoing impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
In his homily at the historic Our Lady of Edsa Shrine yesterday, March 3, during the First Saturday Mass in honor of the Blessed Mother, Fr. Catalino Arevalo, spiritual adviser of the late President Corazon Aquino, said Santiago should issue a public apology for repeatedly berating the House prosecutors in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
“If you call anybody ‘you fool,’ you are worthy of the fires of hell. And she called them gago, which is Filipino for fool, before millions of people,” the priest said.
“I did not say that. Jesus said that,” Fr. Arevalo added.
Arevalo did not mention Santiago by name in the homily. But later when asked if he was referring to Senator Santiago, Fr. Arevalo’s telling pause was clear. He did not have to name her.
“Well, that was before millions of people. So she is, in conscience, bound to make a formal apology before millions of people if God will forgive her,” Arevalo told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
“That’s the teaching of Jesus. You don’t do that, and if you do that, you have to retract it by making a formal apology before millions of people, otherwise you remain worthy of the fires of hell,” he stressed.
