Should she pursue such a course, Arroyo will be making her biggest miscalculation. Cha-cha is now laying the ground for a decisive confrontation be- tween the US-Arroyo regime and the Filipino people who see it as Arroyo's last straw in her desperation to prolong her rule. The mass of the Filipino people have declared again and again their loathing for Arroyo's cha-cha. They will never again allow her to extend her stay in power. Nothing can stifle their cries and no shackles can stop them from marching and fighting as one. The broadest national united front against cha- cha is now rapidly forming, with the patriotic and democratic forces at its core. Numerous organizations, including various church groups with large mass fol- lowings have declared their vehement opposition to Arroyo's cha-cha. Millions are expected to join mili- tant demonstrations and other forms of protest versus cha-cha and all efforts to prolong Arroyo's illegal rule.

Moxham 2012 ABSTRACT The smallest unit of the Philippine Catholic Church is the Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC), a group of families who come together for worship, bible study and reflection on their social circumstances. In many dioceses BECs are encouraged to move beyond mere reflection and act as agents of change, organizing cooperatively for meaningful and peaceful development. A significant corpus of literature has developed around the concept, and it emphasizes the power of small groups to affect change, and the power of a national network of BECs.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See POPE FRANCISANGELUSSaint Peter's Square Sunday, 25 October 2020[Multimedia] Dear Brothers and Sisters, Good morning! In today’s Gospel passage (cf. Mt 22:34-40), a doctor of the Law asks Jesus “which is the great commandment” (v. 36), that is, the principal commandment of all divine Law. Jesus simply answers: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind” (v. 37). And he immediately adds: “And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbour as yourself” (v. 39). Jesus’ response once again takes up and joins two fundamental precepts, which God gave his people through Moses (cf. Dt 6:5; Lv 19:18). And thus he overcomes the snare that is laid for him in order “to test him” (Mt 22:35). His questioner, in fact, tries to draw him into the dispute among the experts of the Law regarding the hierarchy of the prescriptions. But Jesus establishes two essential principles for believers of all times; two essential principles of our life. The first is that moral and religious life cannot be reduced to an anxious and forced obedience. There are people who seek to fulfil the commandments in an anxious or forced manner, and Jesus helps us understand that moral and religious life cannot be reduced to anxious or forced obedience, but must have love as its precept. The second principle is that love must tend together and inseparably toward God and toward neighbour. This is one of the primary innovations of Jesus’ teachings, and it helps us understand that what is not expressed in love of neighbour is not true love of God; and, likewise, what is not drawn from one’s relationship with God is not true love of neighbour.

  • 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. Archbishop Socrates Villegas embraces a priest as he celebrates the Chrism Mass at the St. John the Evangelist Cathedral in Dagupan City April 18.
