Just read comments on Mayor of Davao becoming President of the Philippines. I found it amusing at how much Catholics do not know about our religion. Making the sign of the cross did not begin with Christ it was instituted by MAN around 200 A.D. The Church should teach morals and those lessons should influence the flocks vote, but they should not tell the flock how to vote. God did not intend for Church leaders to make our decisions that is why God gave us a BRAIN! I am a retired priest and believe me I have made lots of mistakes, I sin, I have personal opinions and so do all other priest, bishops, cardinals and popes that have nothing to do with GOD. Please show me where it says in the Bible we are to make the sign of the cross - I do, but that is not something Christ told us to do - SORRY!  I do not think Christ told us to rub cloths on statues either - SUPERSTITION OF MAN! The election should be about who is most qualified to run the country and represent ALL the people not just Catholics.
