DISCRIMINATION AMONG SPANISH AND FILIPINO PRIESTS

Agenda

• The Opening of the Suez Canal

• The Secularization Controversy

The Opening of the Suez Canal

Suez Canal

- connected the Red Sea and the MediterraneanSea

-inaugurated in 1869

-built by a French engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps

-vessels journeying between Barcelona and Manilano longer had to pass by the Cape of Good Hopeat the southern tip of Africa

-traveling time from three months to 32 days.

The Opening of the Suez Canal

Suez Canal

-trading in the Philippines became increasinglyprofitable

-foreign merchants and businessmen came to thecolony, bringing with them a lot of progressive ideas.

-Filipinos gained more knowledge and informationabout the world at large

-Filipinos gained the desire for freedom andimprovement in their lives

The Secularization Controversy

Two kinds of priests served the Catholic Church in the Philippines:

• Regular priests - belonged to religious orders and has the maintask to spread Christianity

(Ex. Franciscans, Recollects)

• Secular priests - did not belong to any religious order. They weretrained specifically to run the parishes and were under thesupervision of the bishops.

The Secularization Controversy

• Conflict began when the bishops argued that it’s their duty tocheck on the administration of parishes run by regular priests.

• Regular priests refused these visits, saying that they were notunder the bishop’s jurisdiction. They threatened to abandon theirparishes if the bishops persisted.

The Secularization Controversy

Archbishop Basilio Santa Justa Sanchode Rufina (1728-1787)

• accepted the resignations of theregular priests in 1774.

• assigned secular priests to take theirplace

• Since there were not enough secularsto fill all the vacancies, he hastenedthe ordination of Filipino seculars.

The Secularization Controversy

• November 9, 1774 - a royal decree was issued whichprovided for the secularization of all parishes or thetransfer of parochial administration from the regularfriars to the secular priests.

• Regulars resented the move because they considered theFilipinos unfit for the priesthood due to reasons such asthe Filipinos’ brown skin, lack of education, andinadequate experience.

The Secularization Controversy

• The Spaniards were clearly favouring their ownregular priest over Filipino priests.

• Pedro Sebastian Pelaez (1812-1863)

- ecclesiastical governor of the Church, sided with theFilipinos.

-died in an earthquake that destroyed the ManilaCathedral in 1863.

-after his death, was succeeded by other priestsfighting for the secularization movement.

(Ex. Gomburza)

CRUSADES AGAINST MONASTIC SUPREMACY

Mga kumalaban sa pagdodomina mgaprayle:

•Mga Gobernador

•Hari

•Mga Indio

•Mga Obispo

•Gomburza

•Propagandista

Governors complain to Spanish Monarchs…

• Gov. Dasmarinas (1592) – slavery of indios

• Gov. Sebastian Hurtado de Corcuera (1636) – friars monopolized the business

They complained that the friars were infinitely more powerful than the Crown’s representatives.

… But not without a price.

• Gov. Diego de Salcedo – imprisoned and died while being shipped back to Mexico in 1669.

• Gov. Juan de Vargas

- After his term, Archbishop Pardo forced him to stand each day for 4 months in Manila’s streets wearing sackcloth and a rope around his neck

- Also died while being shipped back to Mexico

• Gov. Fernando Manuel de Bustamante

- found out that the friars were stealing money from the obras pias

- Imprisoned the Archbishop

- Friars stabbed him to death

The Crown tries to investigate the Friars

• 1578 – Spanish Crown ordered the governal general & the president of the Royal Audiencia to examine land titles

- nothing happened

• 1697 – the Crown ordered a visitador (oidores) from Mexico to determine validity of land titles

- friars refused to show titles, claiming exemption

- nothing happened

Who has the real power?

“If the King sends troops here, the Indians will return to the mountains and forests. But if I shut the church doors, I shall have them all at my feet in twenty-four hours.”

GOMBURZA

Mariano Gomez

• 1799-1872 (age 72)

• Tornatra (mixed Chinese & Spanish descent)

• Accused of taking part in the Cavite mutiny (1872)

"Let us go where the leaves never move without the will of God."

Jacinto Zamora

• Born in Pandacan, 1835-1872 (Age 36)

• Insulares

• Marikina, Pasig, Batangas, Manila Cathedral

• Continued the secularization movement of Pelaez

• Had a habit of playing cards (panguigui)

• "Grand reunion...our friends are well provided with powder and ammunition.“ – means that they have much money to gamble with

• Misinterpreted by Spaniards and used as evidence

Jose Burgos

• 1837-1872 (age 35)

• Born in Vigan to a Spanish officer & Mestiza mother

• Two doctorate degrees (Letran & UST)

• Liberal views, secularization, “defender of the native clergy”-> caught the attention of Spanish authorities

• 1869 – Felipe Buencamino

• Close friend of Paciano Rizal

"What crime have I committed to deserve such a death? Is there no justice in the world?"

• Execution: February 17, 1872 – Bagumbayan

- Gomez -> Zamora -> Burgos

• Ordered by Gov. Gen. Rafael de Izquierdo

• Francisco Zaldua

- Testified against Burgos

- Expected a pardon

- also executed that day (1st)

• This event influenced a whole generation of revolutionists (Rizal, Mabini, Bonifacio, Aguinaldo, etc.)

• El Filibusterismo dedication

Without 1872, there would have been no Plaridel, Jaena or Sanciongco; nor would the brave and generous Filipino colonies in Europe have existed. Without 1872, Rizal would now have been a Jesuit and instead of writing "Noli Me Tangere," would have written the opposite. Observing those injustices and cruelties fired my young imagination and I pledge to dedicate myself and to avenge some day those victims. With this idea, I have studied and this can be discerned in all my works and writings. God will give me the opportunity someday to keep my vow.

• ginamit ang ngalang-sagisag na“Plaridel”

• Tatlong aspeto:

• politika

• ekonomiya

• relihiyon

STATE OF THE CHURCH: THE PAST AND TODAY

• Philippines today consists of many religions:• Roman Catholic - 86%

• Other Christian religions - 6%• Protestant - 2%• Muslim - 4%

• Non-Western, indigenous beliefs and practices - 2%

Composition

• Roman Catholic traditions are still done in the country like fiestas, re-enactments, celebration of special days, etc.

Traditions

Filipino Priests

• Before, they do not allow otherwise 'trained' Filipino priests to ascend into the higher positions of the Catholic Church hierarchy.

• Today, Filipinos can freely study and become priests.

Land/money Acquisition

• “Down payment for a place in heaven”

• Buying of land

• Foreclosure of mortgages

• Land-grabbing

• Friars to Encomenderos

Political influence

• Before, friars have a strong hold on the Philippine government. They have the power to endorse certain officials, or have them replaced.

• Today, politicians ask to be endorsed by the Church officials, the Church also demands in political decisions, and leaders of our country ask guidance from priests, bishops, and the like.

Morals

• During the Spanish era, the Spaniards rigorously destroyed all local religious practices, including indigenous holy places, idols, statues and representations of indigenous spirits, gods and goddesses.

• They also imposed new moralities such as discouraging slave holding, polygamy, gambling and alcohol consumption.

• Today, these moralities are still taught in the church.

Marriage

• Before, it was considered customary and desirable for the heads of two friendly families to cement their 'alliance' by arranging an appropriate marriage for their children--in many cases while their children were still very young.

• Today, this is not customary anymore. These are rare cases in society today.

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES

“Separation of Church & Government”

• malakas na impluwensya ng simbahan sa mgamananampalataya o taumbayan

• kapalit ng di pagsunod sa mga utos ng pari
