Is a life of celibacy normal? This is a question increasingly raised in a world increasingly hypersexualised by social media and their influencers.

Politics is divisive as it is and, just like politics, religion tears rights across families and friendships. It is often unwise to raise both topics in “polite” company unless, of course, one is angling for a fight. Consider then the Filipino priest.

If there is one event that sent chilling shockwaves to the whole world in 2022, aside from the Russian special military operations in Ukraine and the end of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as the head of state of the United Kingdom, it would definitely be the assassination of the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe….
