Suicide one of the biggest sins against life — Bishop Iñiguez

MANILA, Philippines — It is one of the biggest crimes and sins against life. If a person committed suicide, he is not allowed a Christian burial.

This was what Caloocan Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez said in a Radyo Inquirer interview Tuesday regarding the alleged suicide of former Defense Secretary Angelo Reyes who was recently tagged in massive corruption in the military.

Iñiguez, however, said that Reyes could still be granted a Christian burial “if there is any doubt that it was a deliberate suicide or there were signs of repentance before he died.” (report from Inquirer.net / DZIQ-Radyo Inquirer)
