Philippine Bishops Strive for a Just Peace

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines has issued a pastoral statement called Striving for a Just Peace, the Moral Road, setting out a moral vision for a Bangsamoro Basic Law. It acknowledges grievances and the mistrust that has built up between the Muslim minority in Mindanao and other actors, and points out principles for a just path forward for all. It does not promote any of the competing drafts of a Bangsamoro Basic Law being debated in the Legislature.
