quantifying the unquantifiable, page-23

"Apart from being an anti-mining advocate, Father Fautos was also active in the campaign on law and order in Arakan.

Only recently, Father Fausto was appointed as head of a civil society-led Anti-Criminality Task Force in Arakan, Reovoca said."

Of course the bishops will want to use this incident to further their anti-mining cause...............there is absolutely no evidence that this has anything to do with Tampakan or mining.
Fr. Fausto's involvement in the anti-crime task force could equally be the explanation.
