Sacerdotal / A6 Church soon to implement changes in Mass translation By Pinky Barrientos, FSP CHANGES in the English translation of the Order of the Mass are soon to hit parishes across the country when the full implementation of the new liturgical text is adapted next year. The adoption of the new English translation of the Ro- man Missal has been approved by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) during its plenary assembly in January this year. Some parts of familiar responses and prayers have been amended to reflect the true meaning in the original Latin text, the language of the Roman liturgy. In the Introductory Rites, for instance, the response of the faithful “And also with you” to the priest’s greeting “The Lord be with you” has been replaced with “And with your spirit.” © Noli Yamsuan / RCAM Yamsuan © Noli Similar changes have also been introduced in other parts of the Mass, such as the Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites. -

The Performance of the Christian Faith Under a Populist President: the Case of the Philippine Church Under Duterte

Mendoza Follow this and additional works at: https://archium.ateneo.edu/theology-faculty-pubs Part of the Christianity Commons, and the Political Science Commons The Performance of the Christian Faith under a Populist President: The Case of the Philippine Church under Duterte1 Ruben C. Mendoza¨ Abstract: President Rodrigo Duterte has been consistent in his attacks against the Catholic Church. True to his campaign promise, he has unleashed his brutal “war on drugs” which has resulted to the deaths of thousands of suspected drug dependents and pushers. In response to his criticisms and the excesses of his anti-illegal drugs program, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines has issued various pastoral statements in faithfulness to its mission. Nevertheless, the majority of Filipinos continue to support Duterte and his anti-illegal drugs stance. In this context, the call of Pope Francis’ for the church to become a “field hospital” becomes all the more pastorally relevant. Keywords: War on drugs • Catholic Church • Field hospital • Human rights • President Rodrigo Duterte • Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines Introduction The Philippines has never had a chief executive in its history who has had no qualms in attacking the church and who in the process has not lost any political capital. ¨ Dr. Ruben C.

Abp. Soc Calls Priests to Be 'Real Witnesses Amid Threats
CBCP APRIL 15 - 28, 2019, VOL 23, NO.Monitor 08 [email protected] PROTAGONIST OF TRUTH, PROMOTER OF PEACE Abp. Soc calls priests to be ‘real witnesses amid threats By Roy Lagarde PRIESTS are called to face “these dreary times of darkness” by being “real witnesses” amid “an angry disbelieving society,” a church official said on Holy Thursday. Those priests, said Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen- Dagupan, should also not be afraid to die or be killed for the Lord. “Brother priests, make friends with death. Let death not threaten you,” Villegas said in his Chrism Mass homily at the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Dagupan City. “The call to the priesthood is a call to die. It is clear. There is no priesthood without victimhood,” he said. To drive his point, the archbishop said that there’s nothing surprising with priests being threatened with death. In the first place, he said that priests should not have accepted ordination if they were afraid to die or be killed. “Death is not a threat. It is our destiny,” said Villegas, who is also a former president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.

Bishop Broderick Pabillo, the apostolic administrator of Manila, said that “religious services” should be considered as “essential services” during the coronavirus pandemic. “So when the decision makers consider the essential services to be allowed, they should also consider the opening of the churches and its services as important,” Pabillo said. “Of course, necessary precautions should be taken, like the proper social distancing and the sanitation practices to be done in the churches,” he said.

Philippine Bishops Reconsecrate Nation to Mary
CBCP MAY 11 - 24, 2020 VOL. 24, NO. 10 [email protected] PROTAGONIST OF TRUTH, PROMOTER OF PEACE ‘We heal as one’: Philippine bishops reconsecrate nation to Mary By Roy Lagarde THE Catholic Church in the Philippines has turned to the mother of Jesus for protection amid the contagion and death brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. The church hierarchy, in solidarity with a number of bishops’ conferences around the world, marked the Marian month by consecrating the nation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Archbishop Romulo Valles, president of the episcopal conference, led the consecration of the Philippines to the Blessed Mother on May 13, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. The bishops sought the intercession of Mary for the “healing” of all those who contracted the virus and for the “strength and protection” of both the frontliners and the public. “We pray as one. We heal as one. We renew the world as one through this act of consecration,” Valles said. “This our country’s way to implore the grace and mercy Bishop Dennis Villarojo of Malolos leads the national consecration of the country to the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima in Valenzuela City on May 13, 2020.
