Secularism and Dureza’s Prayer

PGMAs critics were paranoid by Dureza’s prayer. There’s nothing wrong with that prayer except for the fact that he pray out loud and the media / opposition do not approve of its content.

The violent reaction to Secretary Dureza’s prayer is a sign that now is the time right for the Charter Change. Charter Change should solve this prayer fiasco. A clear cut guideline should be imposed in the Constitution that should declare our country as a secular state. In a secular state, prayers are not anymore allowed in public institutions. Secularism works well in Turkey and there’s no doubt that it will work in the Philippines. It would also stop the hypocrite CBCP, Priest and Catholic Church in meddling with the affairs of the state. A strict penalty should be imposed for those who violate the secularism. Secularism is the only way forward.
