The Order of the Discalced Augustinians (OAD) has suspended a Filipino priest from public ministry after he was found to have joined the blessing of a Masonic marker in Ormoc City, an act deemed contrary to Catholic teaching.
In a statement released on 1 September, the OAD confirmed that Fr Libby Daños, one of its well-known missionaries in Asia, took part in the ceremony on 11 August in Barangay San Pablo, where a Masonic marker was unveiled. The statement was signed by Fr Luigi Kerschbamer, OAD prior provincial, together with the provincial council of the Province of St Nicholas of Tolentino (Asia).
