Aside from local celebrations, there really was no national commemoration of the arrival of the Cross in the Philippines similar in scale to the International Eucharistic Congress held in Cebu some years ago.
ON Monday, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, the Archdiocese of Tuguegarao formally ended the protracted celebration of the Quincentennial of Christianity in the Philippines. What had been planned to be a grandiose and mammoth celebration had to be pared down, no thanks to Covid and what we now realize to be the exaggerated restrictions imposed on us all.
That unarticulated but insidious belief that we know because we can make things come to pass our way, according to our plans: this is the religion of the 'saeculum,' the religion of the age, the dictatorship of secularism. It allows the outward manifestations of religion's continued existence, but these have been emptied of all credal and existential content. All that remain are the practices of religion, not religion.
