Archbishops Paciano Aniceto and Oscar Cruz made the remarks to the  official news service  of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines during the launch of the Philippine edition of the book “ Homosexuality and the Catholic Church ” on Tuesday. Archbishop Aniceto, executive secretary of the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines, said the Catholic Church needs to establish centers of assistance for homosexuals. “Honesty is very important,” said Aniceto, describing how many homosexuals hide their sexuality in fear of others’ reactions.  “That’s why it is also very important to have counseling centers and formation groups that will face this
