During the traditional Seven Last Words of Christ sermon on Saturday, Catholic Church priests criticized the way in which the government seems to have forgotten the Dominican people, neglecting education, stimulating impunity, corruption, violence and the trafficking of influences. The sermons at the Santo Domingo Cathedral were read by seven priests who said that these evils have not found answers from the authorities in recent years.
Father Manuel Antonio Garcia of Yamasa, criticized the lack of control by the authorities that have not been capable of acting, "not even to control the vehicles that drive at high speeds on streets, the loud music in the colmadones and the unregulated propaganda."
Jesuit Father Fernando Polanco said that many people are confused, and enter into the world of drug trafficking and corruption in search of fictional paradises.
Father Manuel Masa spoke of heroine Sonia Marmolejos who breastfed Haitian children orphaned in the 12 January earthquake.
Monsignor Ramon Benito Angeles called on the authorities to tackle corruption, and reduce the number of children without schools.
Father Modesto Arias Florentino called for actions against drug trafficking.
Father Faustino Burgos used his words to call for action against corruption.
Deacon Jose Lebron Jimenez called for better hospital care, and criticized violent deaths and crime.
