In reply to: Enga Ombudsman 's message, "Re: Ipatas puts hands up as an alternative PM" on Mon, May 05 2008, 03:47:22pm

Enga Ombudsman, (I like that term "ombudsman" in this blog). I acknowledge the position of your stand; however, I want to clear myself that, the priest who contested in the last election and the priest in this blog are not the same person. I guess this is what an "ombudsman" does here to check on the facts. More so, the point you have raised as a "catholic" does not speak my mind as a son of Enga, though priesthood is the office I hold, and you are partly right, that we are to be neutral. However, I want to stress further that this does not mean that a priest shuts himself away from issues that affects peoples and remain neutral as you perceive on the role of priesthood. Priest may be ministers with special duties, I agree with you but let us know that they also have right to run for public offices as a CITIZEN of a country, like the current president of Paraguay in Latin America who was a former catholic bishop. If you ask me why, well, I guess it is up to the choices they make, despite the office they carry as catholic ministers.
