Agreed. Does he fear the federales are looking for him? I don't understand the hoarding of information.
That could be it. I seem to recall that several years ago, he was subject to a lot of criticism on this forum about a few things, like the purchase of a property on the east coast. Some of the criticism was unfair, though I criticized him too at the time. Since then, he's been very quiet, for the most part.
Fr. Chazal is the very opposite! It's good that he doesn't mind putting himself out there for all to see and hear. Criticism doesn't seem to affect him much. But then the Philipinnes is (or was) a Catholic country, and might not be as subject to anti-Catholic persecution as here in the U.S.
