In a fiery, profanity-ridden tirade, outspoken Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte lashed out at the Roman Catholic Church, saying it will not survive long with all the controversies brewing around its clergy. <em>“This Catholic [Church] will disappear. In almost 25 years, it will disappear. No more, people will forget it,”</em> Duterte
said on Monday.
Speaking at a public event in the nation’s capital, Manila, the Philippines leader warned that the church will meet its demise as a result of the string of sexual abuse cases and corruption within its ranks. <em>“People won’t forget the ways of Catholic clergy,”</em> he
said.
<em>When they get horny, the sons of b****es, they go after nuns. If they’re gay, they go after young boys.. Who needs a religion like that?</em>[/B]

Duterte, who says that he was sexually abused by a priest when he was a boy, argued in January that most of Catholic bishops are “gay” who “should come out in the open, cancel celibacy and allow them to have boyfriends”.
In December, Duterte called on his countrymen to kill the country's Catholic bishops who he claimed were little more than “useless fools”. He also described the Catholic Church as "the most hypocritical institution", arguing that his God is different from the one Catholics believed in.
A baptised Catholic, Duterte has repeatedly used stern language to lambast bishops, who in turn often criticised his deadly crackdown on the narcotics trade. In November, the Philippine Star newspaper reported that Duterte hit out at Bishop Pablo Virgilio David of Caloocan, saying that he suspects the cleric is “into illegal drugs”.
