International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller
International Marian Association Letter to Cardinal Mueller 31 May 2017 Eminence, Gerhard Cardinal Müller Prefect, Congregation for the Doctrine on Faith Piazza del S. Uffizio, 11 00193 Roma, Italy Your Eminence: We, Executive Members of the International Marian Association, which consti- tutes over 100 theologians, cardinals, bishops, clergy, religious and lay leaders from 5 continents, wish to, first of all, thank you for the many excellent and courageous articulations and defenses of our holy Catholic Faith, as contained in your recently released, The Cardinal Müller Report. At the same time, we are obliged to express to you our grave concern regarding your comment from the text when you state: “(for example, the Church … does not call her [Mary] “co-redeemer,” because the only Redeemer is Christ, and she herself has been redeemed sublimiore modo, as Lumen Gentium [n. 53] says, and serves this redemption wrought exclusively by Christ… (p. 133). You unfortunately refer to this term as an example of false exaggeration: “falsely exaggerating per excessum, attributing to the Virgin what is not attributable to her” (Ibid.). Your Eminence, in making this statement, albeit as a private theologian since a public interview carries no authoritative or magisterial status, you have publicly stated: 1) a theologically and historically erroneous position, since the Church undeni- ably has and does call Mary a co-redeemer; and 2) a position which, in itself, materially dissents from the repeated and authoritative teachings of the Papal Magisterium, the historical teachings from your own Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (Holy Office)and other Vatican Congregations; the pre- and post-conciliar teachings of the Magisterium as expressed through numerous cardinals, bishops and national episcopal conferences; teachings of the broader Church, inclusive of multiple can- onized saints and blessed who all do, in fact, assent to and theologically expand upon the authentic Magisterial teachings of the Church concerning Mary as a co- redeemer.

Mga Milagro Ng Birheng Maria (Miracles of the Virgin Mary): Symbolism and Expression of Marian Devotion in the Philippines
Mga Milagro ng Birheng Maria (Miracles of the Virgin Mary): Symbolism and Expression of Marian devotion in the Philippines Mark Iñigo M. Tallara, Ph.D. Candidate National University of Singapore SUMMARY This paper is about Catholicism in the Philippines, highlighting the events, and objects on the popular devotion to the Birheng Maria (Virgin Mary), that could give fresh look onto the process of formulating an alternative discourse on religious piety and identity formation. This study also calls for more scholarly attention on the historical and religious connection between Spain, Mexico, and the Philippines, focusing on the legacies of the Manila Galleon that through them we can better appreciate the Latin American dimension of Filipino Catholicism. In addition to the goods, the Manila Galleon facilitated the first transpacific people to people exchange and their ideas, customs, and most importantly the aspects of religious life. This study will examine the symbolism and expression of Filipinos’ devotion to the miraculous image of Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje (Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage) or popularly known as the Black Virgin Mary of Antipolo1. What are the motivations of the devotees to the Black Virgin? How has the popular devotion to the Virgin Mary changed overtime? Observing a particular group of devotees and their practices could provide materials for the study of pilgrimage and procession. Then apply those features and analysis in order to formulate a method that is suitable for the study of popular piety in the Philippines. Although the origin of the devotion to the Black Virgin Mary of Antipolo is central to my arguments, the study will also take a broader consideration of the origins of Marianism in the Philippines.

It is about the extraordinary gift of God to the Filipino People of our Lady’s apparitions and miracles in 1948. Our Blessed Mother came to visit a postulant in a humble Carmelite monastery built on the bloodied ruins of Lipa following the closing days of the Japanese occupation. It is not hard to believe that our Blessed Mother chose to visit our country then out of love and compassion to heal Her suffering children, brutally traumatized by war and bloodshed.

20210722-LASAC-Annual-Report
THE YEAR 2020 IN REVIEW “Among us, who is above must be in service of the others. This doesn’t mean we have to wash each other’s feet every day, but we must help one another.” - POPE FRANCIS HE IRONY OF OUR TIME IS THAT, WE FOCUS ON THE PANDEMIC COVID-19 Tand yet we are distracted with the many issues that seem to haunt our routinary schedule of life. Anxiety, frustration, and even hopelessness have crept in the viral ecology of human existence. Are we not aware of Pope Francis’ warning in 2013, that, “… we can all be overly fearful. If we allow doubts and fears to dampen our courage, instead of being creative, we will remain comfortable and make no progress whatsoever. In this case, we will not take an active part in the historical processes, but become mere onlookers as the world (Church) gradually stagnate. (Evangelii Gaudium No. 129) The 9th Annual Report of LASAC, with the theme, “Helping as One: Loving across borders”, presents the Archdiocesan Social Action response to the many unfortunate events that happened in the Province of Batangas in the year 2020—Taal Volcano Eruption, COVID-19 pandemic, and the several typhoons in the last quarter of the year. Recalling the experiences of 2020, and as we continue sailing in the ocean of fear due to the pandemic, Pope Francis reminds us, that “… when we realize we are in need of salvation and are not self-sufficient, then we turn to Jesus and hand Him our fears, He will conquer them. Because this is God’s strength: turning to the good everything that happens to us, even the bad things.

Luwa: Entanglement in the Origin, Form, and Meaning of Balayan’S Oral Tradition
HUMANITIES DILIMAN (JANUARY-JUNE 2018) 15:1, 1-29 A.P. G. Belamide Luwa: Entanglement in the Origin, Form, and Meaning of Balayan’s Oral Tradition Aidel Paul G. Belamide Silang, Cavite ABSTRACT This is an exploratory research on luwa, a poetic performance held in honor of a patron saint in Balayan, Batangas. It uses the concept of entanglement, as an alternative to hybridity, in showing the overlapping in the origin, form, and meaning of luwa due to integration of sociocultural contexts and influences. It aims to prove that a tradition resulting from postcolonial relations is better understood when seen as an historical outcome of intermingling of social groups, including those beyond the colonizer and the colonized, and of the diverging cultural complexes within the colonial and postcolonial societies. In this manner, the tradition is positioned within the wider context, the complexities of postcolonial condition are considered, and the dynamics among and within social categories are explored. Data was gathered through fieldwork conducted in Balayan in April and May 2014. Performances in several villages were observed, poems were collected, and the concerned individuals, including poets, priests, and the laity, were interviewed. Keywords: Entanglement, post colonialism, performance, oral tradition INTRODUCTION The term “hybridity” is often used in understanding cultural dynamics in postcolonial relations. Bhabha (154) defines hybridity as the “strategic reversal of the process of domination through disavowal,” and the colonial hybrid as the “articulation of the ambivalent space where the rite of power is enacted on the site of desire, making its objects … a negative transparency.” Through hybridity, the colonized subverts the demand of the colonizers to translate culture within a single universal framework, and gains agency in articulating their traditions in the process of identity construction (Meredith 2).
