At the same time, he told more than 5,000 bishops, priests, and lay people from different countries gathered for the Congress that to speak out for the poor is not just opening one’s mouth but also listening and being available to them. “If we are true to our call to be Church of the Poor, we cannot as Church keep silent on these issues,” said Pabillo, who formerly chaired the Church’s National Secretariat for Social Action, and Peace (Nassa).
