The Philippines has been riveted by a clash between popular President Rodrigo Duterte and the powerful Roman Catholic Church, which has sought to maintain its traditional moral authority while facing a barrage of criticism from the strongman leader.⠀
⠀
The church has become one of the fiercest critics of the president's war on drugs in the overwhelmingly Catholic country, condemning thousands of killings and calling for restraint. That opposition has angered Mr. Duterte, who recently called God "stupid" for the concept of original sin and said he would resign if anyone could prove that God exists.⠀
⠀
Some church leaders have offered sanctuary to drug suspects and witnesses to police shootings who are fearful for their lives. Many priests have converted church buildings into hiding places, reviving an ancient church concept that leverages secular authorities' reverence for holy places. Church officials estimate that hundreds of people are living under sanctuary. ⠀
⠀
Police say that more than 4,100 people have been killed, nearly all while resisting arrest, as part of official operations in the drug war. Various rights groups estimate the real toll at well over 10,000, including targeted executions by unknown killers or vigilantes.⠀
⠀
Church leaders say they have a moral obligation to intervene. "If there was no church, there would be more killings," said the Rev. Gilbert Billbena, who protected suspected drug offenders for more than a year in a Manila neighborhood with a particularly high death toll in the drug war. "We believe that life is very sacred."⠀
