I have heard about this.

It's funny because i was saying in another thread how the CBCP are threatened by a fellow priest. It is not a good move for them as it shows that the Catholic Church is unstable.

and now, news about it is posted in Sunstar.com.ph

read the article below:

Bishop: Healing priest violates faith doctrine

MANILA -- A senior Catholic bishop said "healing priest" Fr. Fernando Suarez violated the instruction of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith on prayers.

In a press briefing, Malolos Bishop Jose Oliveros said the Toronto, Canada-based priest, who is conducting healing sessions all over the country, violated the second part of the instruction, which deals about discipline.

"I think its paragraph 4, line 3, which says that the explicit permission of the bishop must be given in order to have a prayer session or healing session," he said.

He said Suarez repeatedly violated the doctrine as pointed by two instances last year when the healing priest conducted healing sessions in the diocese under his (Oliveros) diocese without permission.

"There have been two instances in the past. One, at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy and the other in another chapel in a subdivision also in Marilao that he (Suarez) has not sought my explicit permission," said Oliveros.

The Filipino-Canadian priest is scheduled to conduct another healing session in the area, but Oliveros did not approve it since it was only Suarez's organizer that informed him about the event.

"They said I would like to inform you that there is a healing mass schedule at Sta. Rita and I said, you should not only inform me, you should ask for my explicit permission because they have been broadcasting this for a long time without my permission. I therefore did not grant that permission that is within the prerogative of the bishop. Fr. Suarez and his organizers are not following that norm," he said.

Oliveros also learned from the parish priest where Suarez was supposed to hold his healing session, that the organizer has given him a piece of paper with certain reminders on it.

"They gave a piece of paper with 10 points. The first point is for them not to expect that the collection will be given to the parish and the second point is they want a table where they can sell something. So I said, do not proceed. I don't need to know the rest. So for that reason I said as a bishop I'm canceling that schedule healing mass. In the first place they didn't ask for my permission," he revealed.

On the other hand, Oliveros is planning to file a formal complaint against Suarez before Companions of the Cross -- the healing priest's religious community.

"Make a formal complaint there that one of their priests is coming to my diocese without following the norms that is stated not by me, but by the congregation of the Doctrine of Faith," he said. (FP/Sunnex)

Now why would this matter to the other priests? is it because Fr. Suarez is giving out FREE healing sessions? just a question.

Or is it because Fr. Suarez in one healing service can gather a congregation of 15,000 people.

I find it odd that a priest is being watched and being picked on by other priests. When all these other preists should be out there and helping him.


Fr. Suarez is being used by God right now. we cannot deny that he has the gift of healing. When he first arrived in the Phils. he did not affiliate himself with any Catholic group, the CBCP suddenly issued a statement that the healing power does not come from him but from God.

But this is what Fr. Suarez is saying, "God is healing them not me"

Could it have turned out differently if Fr Suarez, instantly went under the wings of the CBCP? or under any parish/community or group?
Would he not be a threat if he went under someone else's leadership?

Is he being watched closely by his fellow priests because his helaing style is close to the televangelists like Benny Hinn, Reinhardt Bonke and Don Clowers?

opinions please...

nasuya ang CBCP mao ra na....

[godsaint]

Kung sabagay pwede man na imbestigahan kung tinuood ba gyud ang iyang pagtambal or gimmicks lang.Nothings wrong kung mutoo ang ubang tawo.Daghan man gani motuo ni Velarde,Soriano,Qu iboloy,Ecleo ug uban pa nga klaro na gyud na silang mga false prophet.Kung tinuod gyud man,panahon namn tingali nga kita na pud ang dunay Saint.Pirme na lang Italyano ang mga saints.Hehe joke..

[giddyboy]

He should get dispensation out from priesthood and be an ordinary person. Then he can become an evangelist like Velarde, Soriano, etc.

I am mentioning this coz a Catholic priest has specific functions in the diocese and cannot go beyond his given job. There are specific rules discipline, and instructions to follow in the church hierarchy.

A Catholic priest cannot hold "healing sessions"...period...bisan FREE pa na...just like the case of Catholic priests wanting to marry, they should get dispensation from the Pope if they want to do other things outside the boundaries of priesthood...

He's a Canada-based priest pala. how can he be so arrogant and disrespectful sa atoang patakaran dinhi? even if his healing sessions are seen on a very positive note to some people, he should have taken the respectable step of "dispensation" first so as not to violate the instruction of the Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith on prayers...

if he wants to form a "cult", fine. he will be just like another version of fr. apollo quiboloy...

as what i see it, he is just using "healing sessions" as a guise for selfish motives. he is also taking advantage of the filipino's gullibility & too-religious mentality...

i have seen "radical" priests going from being an "NPA sympathizer", to "running priest", and to being "son of God in Davao". but this one tops it all...
