ILIGAN CITY (MindaNews/14 Oct) -- Bishop Emmanuel T. Cabajar of the Diocese of Pagadian, in a letter circulated among religious leaders, appealed to the suspected abductors of Irish Columban missionary Michael Sinnott to free the priest and "have pity on him."
The Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS), meanwhile, called for the “immediate-unconditional release” of the priest even as it cautioned the military and the police to spare the civilians from harm should they launch a rescue mission against the abductors.
Sinnott, 79, was abducted by three or four armed men while he was walking around his convent 7:30 p.m. last October 11 at Pagadian city.
"He is a peace-loving priest and has been sincerely serving our communities for some time in good faith," Cabajar said in Cebuano. [More at MindaNews]
