CWN Editor's Note: Several Catholic prelates in the Philippines have signed a “pastoral letter” opposing the construction of a nuclear power plant.
Six bishops, led by Archbishop Socrates B. Villegas of Lingayen-Dagupan, signed the letter, expressing “profound concern” about plans for the nuclear power plant, and insisting that the country should rely on renewable sources of energy.
The Filipino bishops cited a statement by Japanese prelates who, reflecting on the Fukushima disaster, concluded that “nuclear power generation is fundamentally incompatible with the vision of a ‘symbiotic society’ that respects all life without exception.”
