After calling the country's Catholic bishops "useless fools" who should be "killed," Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has now warned anyone against harming priests and prelates.
The president made the warning after being told that people close to his family have threatened bishops and priests critical of his administration's policies, reported ucanews.com.
"Do not touch the priests, they have nothing to do with politics," said Duterte. "Do not try to do it," he said, adding that "a religious has nothing to do with the vagaries of life."
