As Cardinal Tagle is the third highest official of the Vatican, one understands the importance of his comments and the food for thought that they represent. Here, I would like to select six takeaways to deepen the conversation on Catholicism in Asia.Cardinal Tagle explains that a majority of Asians are poor and that “there are many baptisms among the poor.” Spiritually, there is a connection between poverty and Asian Catholicism.
With this important reminder, Papua New Guinea stands as an inspiration. There, Protestants are the majority of the population. And tensions exist between the Catholic Church and Protestant communities. Yet, a number of them face discrimination and are made invisible, even within the Church. Some live in very poor conditions and face various forms of abuse. An interview with a cardinal from the Philippines is certainly an opportunity to recognize and appreciate the contribution of all Filipinos around Asia.Commenting on Timor-Leste, Cardinal Tagle explains that “the relationship between the local Church and the government is very good there.
