MANILA – The Diocese of Marbel in South Cotabato warned the faithful against activities officiated by one of priests who already left the Catholic Church for another religion.
"We regret to inform you that Fr. Alan G. Catigday has already left the Catholic Church," Marbel Bishop Cerilo Casicas said in a letter dated March 15 and made public Monday.
"He has decided to join another religion," the Catholic prelate added.
Casicas did not reveal what religion the priest has joined.
"The Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Marbel are enjoined not to participate in Masses and other Sacraments that he celebrates. These are not of the Catholic Church," said Casicas.
The bishop added that they will continue to pray for the former priest of the diocese.
The Diocese of Marbel has a population of 1.65 million Catholics and has 86 priests. (PNA)
