THERE is a palpable attempt by loyal supporters of Vice President Maria Leonor Robredo to spin a narrative of divinity around her. One supporter even imaged her beside Jesus Christ as he delivered his sermon, casting it in the context of her being a miracle.

Not content with committing blasphemy, someone who is actually a priest, who personifies Christ on earth as is conduit for our confessions for our sins as we seek forgiveness and for his words when he delivers his sermon, condemned people who are not voting for Robredo. This priest accused Robredo nonbelievers of siding with evil, and practically ordered them not to go to church and hear mass anymore.
