Church workers expelled amid rising religious repression
Two more church workers were deported from the Philippines amid martial law protests, adding to a broader pattern of Christian persecution. The Maryknoll priests Father Ed Gerlock and Father Albert Booms describe hardships and urge faith-driven action, while Sister Jean O Brien awaits visa denial. Authorities in multiple nations restrict religious social action under political rule. The leaders cite global threats to democracy and Christian mission.
