"POPE BENEDICT XVI PRAISED THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS' CONFERENCE OF THE PHILIPPINES (CBCP) FOR ITS EFFORTS IN BLOCKING THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH (RH) BILL. THE POPE, AS QUOTED BY CBCP NEWS, SAID: 'I COMMEND THE CHURCH IN THE PHILIPPINES FOR SEEKING TO PLAY ITS PART IN SUPPORT OF HUMAN LIFE FROM CONCEPTION UNTIL NATURAL DEATH, AND IN DEFENSE OF THE INTEGRITY OF MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY.' 'IN THESE AREAS YOU ARE PROMOTING TRUTHS ABOUT THE HUMAN PERSON AND ABOUT SOCIETY WHICH ARISE NOT ONLY FROM DIVINE REVELATION BUT ALSO FROM THE NATURAL LAW, AN ORDER WHICH IS ACCESSIBLE TO HUMAN REASON AND THUS PROVIDES A BASIS FOR DIALOGUE AND DEEPER DISCERNMENT ON THE PART OF ALL PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL,' HE SAID. THE POPE MADE THE STATEMENT DURING THE 'AD LIMINA' VISIT OF FILIPINO PRELATES IN ROME ON NOVEMBER 29."
