The initiative was inspired by The Idea Goal 3 of JCAP’s Outline of an Apostolic Plan 2014-2019. This goal calls for collaboration in mission. Two JCAP Secretaries - Buddhism and Islam, and one peer group, Jesuit Companions in Indigenous Ministry [JCIM] - first mooted the idea at the 2013 JCAP Extended Consult. The following year, four additional Secretaries – the Social Apostolate-Migration & Reconciliation with Creation [RWC], Asia Pacific Jesuit Colleges and Universities [AJCU] and FORMATION) - joined in this collaborative effort. In 2015, the secretary for Basic Education joined this collaboration. This initiative thus became a truly Jesuit-led conference of the Asia Pacific region. The secretaries of the 2014 Extended Consult of JCAP agreed to Joel Tabora, SJ’s call to make this a JCAP Conference. At the end of the deliberation, Cyril Veliath, SJ gave a copy of the proposal to Mark Raper, SJ. After the Extended Consult, the JCAP consultors deliberated on the proposal. Upon approval, Eric Velandria, SJ (JCAP Socius) met with Jojo Fung, SJ on 12 January 2015 and furnished the comments of the JCAP Consult regarding the proposal. At the Oct 23-24, 2015 JCAP Extended Consult, Pedro Walpole, SJ presented the concept paper and received many invaluable insights from the members. The concept paper went through its eighth edition and eventually became the document for organizing the three-day program, from 8-10 August 2016. The JCAP Conference Planning Team (JCPT) was set up in Manila with 4 Jesuits (Deacon Leslie Bingkasan, Scholastic Christian Yudo, Albert Alejo, and Jojo Fung) and 2 women (Ms. Remy Rivera of the Ateneo Grade School and Ms. Cecille Marie Villena of the Ateneo de Manila University). The local organizing committee (LOC) comprised of Ms. Dixta Minevia and Pak FX Ouda Teda Ena, M.Pd., Ed.D. of the International Office of the Jesuit University of Sanata Dharma in Yogyakarta, assisted by more than 20 volunteers and the advisory presence of Benny Juliawan, SJ and Heru Prakosa, SJ. The three-day program was designed according to the pastoral spiral. The immersion-engagement on 8 August 2016 was given to ‘lived experience.’ The participants were able to interact with the personnel of the various peoples’ initiatives. This interaction enabled them to deepen their understanding of the multifaceted aspects of the concept ‘sustainability of life’. The second day, 9 August, 2016, was devoted to ‘critical analysis and reflection.’ The learning on sustainability from the immersion was further deepened with the help of presenters of natural and social scientists, as well as representatives of Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Traditional Religion. The last day, 10 August 2016, was dedicated to ‘envisioning a sustainable future.’ The learning on sustainability of life from the last two days now has to be translated into doable strategies at various levels, beginning with 7 | JCAP SUSTAINABILITY CONFERENCE communities, ministries, institutions and families, and then, moving up to the level of province, and finally, at the level of JCAP. On the whole, the participants,

  • The Catholic Church and the Reproductive Health Bill Debate: the Philippine Experience
    bs_bs_banner HeyJ LV (2014), pp. 1044–1055 THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL DEBATE: THE PHILIPPINE EXPERIENCE ERIC MARCELO O. GENILO, SJ Loyola School of Theology, Philippines The leadership of the Church in the Philippines has historically exercised a powerful influence on politics and social life. The country is at least 80% Catholic and there is a deeply ingrained cultural deference for clergy and religious. Previous attempts in the last 14 years to pass a reproductive health law have failed because of the opposition of Catholic bishops. Thus the recent passage of the ‘Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012’ (R.A. 10354) was viewed by some Filipinos as a stunning failure for the Church and a sign of its diminished influence on Philippine society. This article proposes that the Church’s engagement in the reproductive health bill (RH Bill) debate and the manner of its discourse undermined its own campaign to block the law.1 The first part of the article gives a historical overview of the Church’s opposition to government family planning programs. The second part discusses key points of conflict in the RH Bill debate. The third part will examine factors that shaped the Church’s attitude and responses to the RH Bill. The fourth part will examine the effects of the debate on the Church’s unity, moral authority, and role in Philippine society. The fifth part will draw lessons for the Church and will explore paths that the Church community can take in response to the challenges arising from the law’s implementation.

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.
