“The Church is not giving anything even if they collect so much.
My statement is full of sarcasm because they [priests] have been
criticizing me. They are hypocrites,” he added.
Duterte went
on to say he believes in God and Allah, but he is against organized
religion, especially the Vatican, because it sows the fear of hell in
Christians.
“Do not believe it. That is what that religion is
all about, they are instilling fear that you will go to hell if you are a
sinner. But you will only know if there is indeed a hell if you die… Be
careful about religion, it is about gold. It is about gold. They have
not done anything. Where is their God and their grace? There is the
hypocrisy of it all.”
He then went on to bash the United
States for its recent criticism – one that cost it all friendly
cooperation with the Philippines.
“America did not do anything for the 4 million Filipino addicts. And they even scold me,” he went on.
“Catholic[ism] is a sordid religion. It is about time to show you
its history,” he said, mentioning Pope Leo as someone “sired and even
had sex with his child.”
