MANILA, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Undeterred by a blessing from Pope
Francis, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte launched an angry rebuke
on Thursday of priests and bishops critical of his drugs war, accusing
them of homosexuality, corruption and of abusing children.
Duterte was furious over concerns by the Catholic Church of alleged extrajudicial killings during his crackdown and lambasted clergymen for denouncing him instead of using their influence to get people off drugs.
