MANILA, Philippines - Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said he would “really kill” child molesting priests, in his latest broadside against the Catholic Church.
Speaking on Sunday at a campaign rally in Cagayan de Oro City, Duterte said it would be “a better world” if all molesting priests were “killed tonight.”
Duterte has been at odds with the country’s Catholic Church since before he took office in 2016. Church leaders have condemned his bloody crackdown on the drug trade which has left thousands of people dead in extrajudicial killings, as well as his efforts to reintroduce the death penalty.
Duterte has claimed he was abused by a priest when attending Ateneo de Davao High School, a Jesuit-run institution, in the late 1950s.
“To the priests who raped children and fondled balls, you sons of bitches, I will really kill you. Why should I be afraid? If you all get killed tonight, that would be better. Then we will have a better world,” Duterte told supporters on Sunday.
The president also called the bishops “sons of bitches” that “serve the rich and the elite, those who are owners of banks and other businesses.”
“All governments in the world, for as long as the Catholic Church interferes with governance, are chaotic. Whether it’s in Chile, South America. As long as there are priests. That has been the case since the olden times,” Duterte said.
During the rally, the president also singled out a priest who allegedly called for Duterte’s death during a homily at Mass.

“To the priests who raped children and fondled balls, you sons of bitches, I will really kill you...
Well you can’t see he’s not direct!!
And he’s definitely in touch with his feelings :)
Good, since the church won’t address this, someone has to.
Cant argue with him.
Be afraid, Padre ... be very afraid!
Yes you can. The guy is a psychopath. He will just declare someone a pedophile with no proof and murder him.
This piece of human garbage will kill good priests if they criticize him for being a lunatic.
The Philippines is not a serious country having this piece of trash as their leader. Total shithole.
There’s a story that this actually happened in Kansas about 90 years ago.
He’s a scumbag and probably a pedophile himself. The dude is just into murder.
He said he would kill drug dealers and people went on a state sanctioned killing spree. Killed a bunch of foreigners who retired there who were not, by any far stretch of the imagination, drug dealers.
I’m all for taking out child molesters, but this piece of crap just wants random killings.
“Philippine Says He Will ‘Really Kill’ Molesting Priests”
And ruin all the priestly fun? /sarc
“The Philippines is not a serious country having this piece of trash as their leader.”
That is exactly how our media explained Trump’s election to Euro—weenies.
One thing you can definitely say for Duterte, he means what he says.
He hasn’t with drug deallers. They get an investigation a d a trial if they surrender.
I am going to give him the benefit of judging him according to his actions so far.
Since I don’t lionize pedophiles, I don’t see ridding the world of them as psychopathy.
Obviously, that makes you and I very, very different.
how many priests will request transfer from philippines?
What about rapist muslims?
Well done.
Yeah. Well try and recognize the difference moron. Trump never told people to go out and execute anybody they thought was a drug dealer.
Really. Lunatics like you who want to equate Trump with a lowlife psychopath like Duterte do our side no favors.
WTF is wrong with you?
I lived in the Philippines.
I know people who still do.
I trust what they say over American Press outlets, and New World Order think tanks.
No sale.
And since I am not opposed to capitol punishment, I do not see using lethal force against a resisting or fleeing felon as murder, nor do I see the execution of criminals as murder.
So once again we have a divide in our thinking which is unbreachable.
Has he killed any priests as of today?No? Did he not say he would kill drug dealers?
