Becoming a Church of the Poor: Philippine Catholicism After the Second Plenary Council

Produced by the JJCICSI staff, Becoming a Church of the Poor is a collection of essays which provide a glimpse into how the Philippine Catholic Church has sought to fulfill the goals she set for herself in the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines ( PCP II), convened twenty years ago in 1991. Among the issues tackled in the book deal with family and life, agrarian reform, environment, and electoral politics.

The volume also commemorates the first death anniversary of the late Bishop Francisco F. Claver, SJ, one of the architects of PCP II and a cofounder of JJCICSI, who died on 1 July 2010.

Copyright 2011. 6x9 inches. 128 pages. Php 300.

  NATIONAL SITUATIONERS


Things Both New and Old
2009/10 National Situationer

As in previous years, the John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues (JJCICSI) presents its annual national situationer on selected, relevant themes in Philippine society. This issue of the Intersect is somewhat special as it falls on the 25th year of JJCICSI’s faith-based research and advocacy work, intended primarily to better the lives of the poor and marginalized sectors.

Staying the Course
2008/9 National Situationer

This 2008 edition of Intersect lives up to its name as the “intersectoral communicator” of the John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues (JJCICSI). As with previous issues of Intersect, this volume contains situationers and analyses of pertinent developments in the issues and sectors that our various program desks were involved, the past year. This year’s Intersect, however, also represents a true intersection, a junction of sorts for our work in JJCICSI. And as with every intersection we encounter, there are two options: to stay the course or change directions.
