Homemaking In And With Migrant Churches As Communities Of Care, Ma. Adeinev M. Reyes-Espiritu
Homemaking In And With Migrant Churches As Communities Of Care, Ma. Adeinev M. Reyes-Espiritu
Theology Department Faculty Publications
Research on migration and religion reports the significance of religion to migrants, particularly those who self-identify as religious. In particular, migrant churches have served as a sanctuary, a venue for social networking, and a community supportive of migrants’ wellbeing, to name a few things. However, migrant churches are also criticized for the possibility of becoming instruments of control over migrants. Heeding Boccagni and Hondagneu-Sotelo’s invitation to use the “homemaking optic” to inquire into the experience of integration of migrants, this paper analyzes how migrant churches foster migrants’ becoming at home in the receiving societies using Philippine migrant communities as a …
A Consistent Ethic Of Life For Philippine Church Leadership, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta
A Consistent Ethic Of Life For Philippine Church Leadership, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta
Theology Department Faculty Publications
This essay proposes Joseph Cardinal Bernardin''s consistent ethic of life (CEL) as a moral framework for Philippine Church leadership to consider and adapt as it engages with social issues. The paper begins by presenting the dual and inconsistent approaches of Philippine Church leadership to political engagement. This would be followed by a presentation of the key ideas of the CEL from which leaders of the Philippine Church can learn as well as how these can help renew the Philippine Church's vision of responding to the signs of the times; especially in terms of consistency. The paper concludes by proposing some …

This study theologises on the Urban Poor Women and Children with Academics for Reaching and Delivering on UNSDGs in the Philippines (UPWARD-UP) Project research team’s collaboration with the Alliance of Peoples’ Organisation Along the Manggahan Floodway (Alliance), Philippines. We posit that the theological process of see-judge-act, enhanced with evaluate-celebrate/ritualise, using feminist biblical characterisation in interpreting Matthew 15:21-28, serves as a spiritual resource for Christians working for the urban poor realisation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. The Canaanite woman challenged Jesus’ identity and mission impacting on Christology and ecclesiology. This characterisation makes her …
Rethinking The Panata To The Nazareno Of Quiapo, Wilson Angelo G. Espiritu
Rethinking The Panata To The Nazareno Of Quiapo, Wilson Angelo G. Espiritu
Theology Department Faculty Publications
Filipino Catholicism’s hallmark is its festive and colorful celebrations of popular piety; which exhibit the Catholic faith’s embeddedness in people’s lives and culture. One of the most renowned Filipino devotions is rendered to Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno of Quiapo; Manila. The devotion of making a pledge to the Nazareno; known as panata; is commonly understood as a sacred promise that must be kept in return for a request that is granted. In this paper; I propose a theological reading of panata performance that unites devotion to the Nazareno and commitment to the wellbeing of others. This interpretation aims to orient …

Operationalizing The Vision Of Catholic Social Thought Using Change Management, Stephanie Ann Y. Puen
Operationalizing The Vision Of Catholic Social Thought Using Change Management, Stephanie Ann Y. Puen
Theology Department Faculty Publications
In Catholic social thought, magisterial documents emphasize the “See, Judge, Act” method in reflecting on social issues. While action is an important aspect of this methodology, aspects of Catholic social thought, as seen in the teaching of magisterial documents, has focused primarily on principles and the “judge” part of the method, where one reflects on the current social context in light of Catholic social thought and gospel values. This paper reminds Catholic social thought of the importance of obtaining the commitment of the people within the community in order to put Catholic social thought principles into practice structurally and that …
Contributions Of Catholic Social Thought To Doughnut Economics To Achieve A Vision Of Flourishing Of Creation, Stephanie Ann Y. Puen
Contributions Of Catholic Social Thought To Doughnut Economics To Achieve A Vision Of Flourishing Of Creation, Stephanie Ann Y. Puen
Theology Department Faculty Publications
Recent developments in Catholic Social (CST) has highlighted the concept of integral ecology, which dovetails with the concept of Doughnut Economics (DE), used by different local government units and organizations to develop their post-COVID-19 economies and societies that are more just, sustainable, and equitable. This intersection of ideas between CST and DE is a fruitful point for dialogue between economics and theology in order to help attain the vision of flourishing of life and prosperity that both disciplines are seeking to achieve, particularly in line with the sustainable development goals on decent work and economic growth and sustainable cities and …

The Philippines is the largest Christian-majority country in Asia. With church gatherings playing a vital role in the nature of Christianity in the Filipino culture, the advent of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic in the Philippines posed challenges to public religious practices amid efforts to mitigate COVID-19 community transmission. Various policy pronouncements from both the government-led Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging Diseases and the church-led Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) were issued. These guidelines were implemented in order to address the two-pronged problem on healthcare and religious obligations. While these guidelines were initially contributory to the mitigation …

Enriching Section 16 Of Article Ii Of The Philippine Constitution With The “Ecology Of Daily Life” From Laudato Si’, Teofilo Giovan S. Pugeda Iii, Raymond B. Aguas
Theology Department Faculty Publications
As the Philippines becomes ever more urbanized, we run the risk of unintended harmful consequences on quality of life in terms of things like poverty and congestion. This paper proposes that a healthier and more holistic approach involves looking at urban spaces and their inhabitants as an ecosystem, thus necessitating an ecological perspective. This perspective comes from a juxtaposition between Laudato Si’ and Philippine environmental law.
Interdisciplinarity As A Means Of Doing Theology: Jose Mario Francisco, Jr., Sj, Phd And His Writings, Ruben C. Mendoza
Interdisciplinarity As A Means Of Doing Theology: Jose Mario Francisco, Jr., Sj, Phd And His Writings, Ruben C. Mendoza
Theology Department Faculty Publications
As a Jesuit, Jose Mario Francisco has occupied various positions in the academe as a teacher and an administrator. At the same time, he has engaged in research on various topics such as Asian theology, religious identity, Christology, literary theory, Philippine literature in English, translation, and hermeneutics. A thread that runs through his writings is his interdisciplinary approach to the subject of his inquiry. A particular interest of Francisco in his efforts to understand Filipino Catholicism is his emphasis on mission as translation which for him necessarily involves interpretation.
Reframing Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’S Consistent Ethic Of Life In The Light Of The Crisis Of Our Common Home And Pope Francis’ Integral Ecology, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta
Reframing Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’S Consistent Ethic Of Life In The Light Of The Crisis Of Our Common Home And Pope Francis’ Integral Ecology, Anatoly Angelo R. Aseneta
Theology Department Faculty Publications
The article is based from the a defended dissertation of the same title. As raised by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’ and as evidenced by the various ecological problems we face, the crisis of our common home harms both non-human and human life. It is becoming more evident that to consistently defend human life inevitably means caring for our common home. Joseph Cardinal Bernardin’s moral vision of a consistent ethic of life (CEL), reframed in the light of the crisis of our common home and Francis’ call for an integral ecology, provides a moral framework that inseparably links the protection …
Marriage, Persons, And The Body: Thomistic Intimations In Karol Wojtyła, Mark Joseph T. Calano
Marriage, Persons, And The Body: Thomistic Intimations In Karol Wojtyła, Mark Joseph T. Calano
Philosophy Department Faculty Publications
Karol Wojtyła’s understanding of marriage, persons, and the body operates within an unarticulated Thomistic presumption. While Thomas Aquinas did not explore persons, the conjugal act, and the body in the same way as Wojtyła did, correlating the two thinkers is mutually beneficial. The paper thematically looks into marriage, persons, and the body. The first part discusses the concept of marriage and the conjugal act. Based on this understanding, the person is clarified using Wojtyła’s personalism and Thomas Aquinas’s composite person. The second part demonstrates the concept of the incommunicability of persons as Wojtyła articulates it and intimates Thomas Aquinas. This …

The Shape Of The Filipino Church To Come: A Vision Of Renewal In Filipino Sacramental Worship, Michael Demetrius H. Asis
Theology Department Faculty Publications
What will it take to make sacramental worship finally inspire genuine Christian discipleship? This book offers a radical vision of renewing current Filipino sacramental understanding and practice. Grounded in a renewed vision of "church" consistent with Vatican II ecclesiology, this work examines the crucial link between worship and disciplehip, so that our prayer, whether private or public, truly becomes, now and in the future, the "source and summit" of all Christian life.
People's Mysticism And Political Engagement: The Prophetic Character Of The Nazareno Image, Wilson Angelo G. Espiritu
People's Mysticism And Political Engagement: The Prophetic Character Of The Nazareno Image, Wilson Angelo G. Espiritu
Theology Department Faculty Publications
Millions of Filipino Catholics consider themselves as devotees of the Nazareno. It is a unique cultural facet of Filipino Catholicism being one of the deeply ingrained folk devotions in the country. It is, therefore, one of the most important loci for doing theology in the Filipino context being a concrete expression of the faith of many Filipino Catholics. This paper attempts to contribute one approach in strengthening the theological significance of the devotion to the Nazareno in order to see how the Gospel of Christ could further permeate the lives of the people. Here, the author contends that the devotion …

The "Other Hand Of God," The Church And Other Religious Traditions, Ruben C. Mendoza
The "Other Hand Of God," The Church And Other Religious Traditions, Ruben C. Mendoza
Theology Department Faculty Publications
For the Federation of Asian Bishops’ Conferences (FABC), the Holy Spirit appears to serve as a key in understanding and interpreting other religious traditions and how the Church is to relate with their followers. The Asian bishops consistently affirm that the Holy Spirit is actively present in other religions and that these religions contain expressions and practices that are inspired and prompted by the Spirit. This is why these manifestations of the Spirit’s presence demands critical discernment and that these must be in dialogue with the Spirit’s activity in the Church. In and through this the Spirit’s manifold works within …

The Challenge Of Faith Today, Pasquale T. Giordano
Theology Department Faculty Publications
This past October, during the inter-term recess, the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus ran a conscientization program for about 35 Jesuits. This program was part of the effort of the Province to implement its thrust for justice, a thrust very strong in the Church today. The conscientization program was geared for awakening, awakening us to the realities of life, especially life among the poor and the oppressed. We were divided into three groups. One group went to the mountains of Bukidnon in Mindanao to experience the life of the people there. The Jesuits who went there lived with …
