“Since 1960, the Catholic bishops have been talking against corruption, telling people to avoid it. It is a cancer, it is dangerous, it is a sickness and it is a social disease.
“We have assured the President that we are 100 per cent with him in his fight against corruption. With corruption, we can’t progress. With corruption, many things go wrong, immorality takes over, retrogression takes place. So, corruption is a huge obstacle that has to be dismantled.”
The bishops assured the President of their prayers, moral support and desire to cooperate, he noted that the Catholic Church had done much in education, health care or social services and other areas.
