A Quezon City court has ordered the arrest of a priest over a complaint filed against him by a former associate justice and Commission on Elections (Comelec) official caused by religious differences.
Former Sandiganbayan Associate Justice and ex-Comelec chairman Harriet Demetriou alleged that Father Winston Cabading maligned the Mediatrix of All Grace and her devotees.In a one-page order signed by Presiding Judge Madonna Echiverri of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 81, it found enough evidence to indict Cabading before the tribunal for violating Article 133 of the Revised Penal Code which carries a penalty of four years two months and one day to six years in prison.
The former magistrate said that the 'Mediatrix of All Grace is a Marian apparition that took place in the Carmelite Monastery of Lipa, Batangas sometime in 1948.'Moreover, the ex- poll body chief claimed that being a devotee, she became a victim of Cabading's alleged 'blashphemous indulgence' and is thus entitled to a cause of action for a criminal suit before the court.
