Imploring the aid of Almighty God

[Pag_Hingowa]

Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines 1987:

Preamble

We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a Government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of independence and democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice, freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this Constitution.

Pro-RH said, “we should exclude arguments based on a specific religion, such as those made by that congressman who proclaimed on the floor of Congress that when the 1987 Constitution says:

We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty God…

it refers ‘only to the Catholic God.’ So what does that make of the millions of Muslim Filipinos? Since they are part of the “sovereign Filipino people,” we make them invoke our God instead of theirs? Good heavens."

Any comments?

Well, considering the Catholic stance is that both Christians and Muslims worship that same Almighty God, just each with different a understanding of him (human flaw, not God’s), I don’t see the problem with this.
