MANILA, Philippines – A Filipino priest convicted of child molestation in the United States will face a case before the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
The case of Father Jose Superiaso is a grim reality that needs to be accepted, according to retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz.
Superiaso, who is based in the US, had an intimate relationship with a Filipina and also sexually abused her 12-year-old sister.
In 2005, Superiaso was convicted of child molestation and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
