In light of the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Catholicism in the Philippines, we invited Julien Carandang to discuss why and how it has affected Philippine politics. Our discussions tackled the Filipino Catholic Church as an organization whose impact on local and national politics straddles both governance and ethics. Overall, we engaged in a more nuanced understanding of Church-State-Society relations in the Philippines beyond stereotypical portrayals of the Church as a monolithic and outdated entity.   0:00 Music  0:18 Intro 0:44 Ranking Announcement 1:40 Catholicism in the Philippines 3:35 Introducing our guest, Julien Carandang 6:48 Interests in Church and state and family background 11:10 Separation of Faith and objective Analysis of religion 12:50 What questions did you ask?

Ep. 12 Why is Filipino Catholicism political? ft. Julien Carandang

Take me to Church! As Filipino Americans, most of us were raised Catholic.  With over 80% of the people in the Philippines identifying as Catholic, it’s no surprise that those of us in the TFAL crew grew up going to church every weekend, observing religious holidays, and some even going to Catholic school. On this TFAL episode, we talk about Catholicism, how we practice or not practice the religion.  We have a candid conversation with our special guest, Father Radmar Jao, S.J.  He is a Jesuit priest and currently serves as the Campus Minister at Boise State University.  He’s also the son of Filipina actress, Tessie Agana.  He himself has worked as an actor and a singer on stage in Hollywood before joining the Jesuit order.  He even has an IMDB profile! We only begin to scratch the surface as we delve into questions about Father Radmar’s choice of joining the priesthood, his thoughts on Church policies and politics, and how to approach religious leaders and priests we disagree with. Find out who among us pondered being in the religious ministry, enjoy a story about how one “must repent,” and spend some moments listening to Father Radmar talk about the faith the TFAL crew grew up with, be critical about, and watch develop over time. Listen through the embedded player below, download directly here or subscribe to us on iTunes here!
