KAVANAGH During the last sixty years, three separate movements have weakened the religious unity within the Catholic Church of the Filipino people. The first was Id by Isabelo dc? 1- Reyes and Gregorio Aglipay. It owed much of its initial success to two factors: nascent nationalism, and the inability of the ordinary people to perceive the difference between the Iglesia Independiente and their traditional Faith. At the present time the movement is stagnant. Split by schism into two hostile factions, Aglipayanism has lost much of its pop ularity and aggressiveness. Official statistics released by the Bureau of Census place the total number of Aglipayans in the Philippi~iesat 1,456,114.' The second threat to Catholicism appeared in the form of American Protestant missionaries and school teachers who followed the Army of Occupation to the Islands after the Spanish-American War.

REED The Iglesia ni Cristo, 1914-2000 From Obscure Philippine Faith to Global Belief System Rising in the Far East [the Philippines] in 1914, spreading to the Far West [the Americas and Europe] and rapidly gaining foothold in many parts of the world, the Church of Christ (Iglesia ni Cristo) is viewed by nonmembers as shrouded in controversy and clouded in mystery. [...] The dynamic leadership of Brother Felix Y. Manalo, God's Last Messenger in these last days, is one of the factors that has contributed much to the rapid growth and expansion of this Church. [...When he] died in 1963, not a few [critics] expected the Church to crumble. They were soon bitterly disappointed, [...for] under the stewardship of his son, Brother Erano G. Manalo, the Church continues to grow by leaps and bounds. (Bienvenido Santiago 1986:39.) On July 27,1968, the 54th year of the Iglesia ni Cristo in the Far East, Brother Erano G. Manalo crossed the Pacific Ocean to establish the Church's first two congrega- tions in the Far West, one in Ewa Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii and the other in San Francisco, California. [...Soon] the Church spread to the various metropolitan areas of the [North] American continent, to the ancient and historic cities of Europe and the Middle East, to the Pacific Rim regions of Asia, and [to Australia...] At present, there are more than 400 established locales and committee prayer groups scattered in more than 65 countries and territories around the world.

  • Religion, Politics and Sex: Contesting Catholic Teaching and Transnational Reproductive Health Norms in the Contemporary Philippines
    Religion, Politics and Sex: Contesting Catholic Teaching and Transnational Reproductive Health Norms in the Contemporary Philippines By Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ron E. Hassner, Chair Professor Vinod K. Aggarwal Professor Jerome P. Baggett Professor Edwin M. Epstein Professor Steven Weber Fall 2011 © 2011 by Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow All rights reserved. Abstract Religion, Politics and Sex: Contesting Catholic Teaching and Transnational Reproductive Health Norms in the Contemporary Philippines By Jonathan Tseung-Hao Chow Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Ron E. Hassner, Chair How does religion shape transnational norms and the ways in which they are contested or adopted? Although constructivist international relations theory has made significant strides in understanding the role of norms in shaping political outcomes, there has been little research into how religion affects norm dynamics. This dissertation seeks to address this gap by developing a theory of “religious norms”, which I define as standards of proper behavior that arise from actors’ religious beliefs. I argue that while religious norms bear many similarities to secular norms, they differ in that believers understand them to emanate from the highest authority of all, that of the sacred. This can lead religious adherents to treat religious norms as having overriding importance, especially when they perceive them to be under attack from competing norms. When this happens, religious adherents can frame the religious norm as highly salient, constitutive of the faith and under threat, a process that I call “defensive sacralization”.
