After condemning relentless killings last week, Caloocan Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) vice president, said he had failed as a Church leader for not being able to protect his diocese from murderers, adding that Christ agreed with him.

The CBCP vice president, in his homily at the eucharistic celebration of the the 5th Philippine Conference of New Evangelization (PCNE 5) early Thursday said, “So today in utter shame and frustration, I declare I have not been a good shepherd to my flock! The wolves, they have been prowling the streets and alleys of Caloocan, Malabon and Navotas for almost 2 years now.”
