- Summary:
- Shirley (history and international relations, Thammasat U., Bangkok) examines the political history of Roman Catholicism in the Philippines, and its power in determining the moral authority of government leaders. Shirley describes the arrival of the Church in the Philippines and its endurance in the American era, through its organization of political protests, control of its own media including the pulpit, and its participation in such cases as the People Power movements. He also describes how the Church in the Philippines may change as will its personnel. Distributed by ISBS. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
