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.

  • Annual Report 2008-2009
    MESSAGE The theme of the Bishops-Businessmen’s Conference 33rd General Assembly & Annual Meeting on July 10, 2009 “Areas of Cooperation Between Business and the Institutional Church in the Philippines Towards Human Development” calls for men of the cloth and men and women of capital to play a pivotal role in transforming society. BBC believes that both Church and Business could cooperatively seek solutions to the problems of development. To fully understand what the Bishops-Businessmen’s Conference for Human Development is all about, one must first go back to its beginning in 1971 when 35 Bishops and an equal number of businessmen gathered in a conference in Baguio City to seek solutions to the problems of development in the Philippines. Someone once said that the purpose of BBC is to “make better Christians of businessmen and better businessmen out of the Bishops”. Though he may have been facetious, there must have been some grain of truth in this simplification of BBC’s reason for being. But what distinguishes BBC from other business and religious organizations is the interaction among its members who come from distinct backgrounds but share skills and strengths to achieve the common goal of total human development. BBC’s initiatives have been driven and informed by the realities of continual change. It recognizes that partnerships are essential to our efforts to continue to regain its momentum, to rebuild its energy. Business and the Church need to be strategic partners for the good of those that they work for both on the national and regional/diocesan levels to help alleviate them from poverty to prosperity.

  • Lawyers' Litigation Forecasts Play an Integral Role in the Justice System
    History Research, Jan.-Mar., 2015, Vol. 5, No. 1, 28-44 doi: 10.17265/2159-550X/2015.01.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Decolonization of the Filipino Church after Vatican II Terence J. Fay SJ University of St. Michael’s College, Toronto, Canada The second great paradigm shift in the history of the Catholic Church arrived after Vatican II, which ended the lengthy sway of the Greco-Roman Church and led, as Karl Rahner has written, to “the Church actualizing itself precisely as a world Church.” This statement has enormous consequences for the Catholic Church in the Philippines where Vatican II initiated a major paradigm shift. Vatican II decolonized the Latin Spanish church imposed upon the Philippines in the seventeenth century and transformed it into the Catholic Church of the Philippines, that is to say, transformed it into a church deeply rooted in the Filipino soil, language, and culture. Twenty-nine Filipinos chosen by snowball method of selection were interviewed who reported on how they received the teachings of Vatican II on inculturation and equality and were thus decolonized the Catholic Church. Key Words: decolonization, Filipino, Vatican II, liturgy, interreligious contact The Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965 initiated the second major paradigm shift in the Catholic Church. The first major paradigm shift, according to Karl Rahner, was the transition from a Jewish Christian Church after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. to the initiation of the Greco-Roman Church which flourished for almost 1,900 years in many parts of the world.1 The second great paradigm shift in the history of the Catholic Church arrived after Vatican II, which ended the lengthy sway of the Greco-Roman Church and led, as Rahner wrote, to “the Church actualizing itself precisely as a world Church.”2 This last statement has enormous consequences for the Catholic Church, especially in the Philippines where Vatican II also initiated a major paradigm shift.
