Altar of secrets : sex, politics, and money in the Philippine Catholic church / Aries C. Rufo. - xii, 211 pages 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book keeps the wrongdoing of its bishops and priests - in sexual misconduct and financial mismanagement - within its confines and lets them get away, unpunished. It also delves into how the Church influences policy, as nowhere among Catholic countries in the world is the Church deeply involved in the shaping of policy than in the Philippines. Reforms are taking place, but these are highly dependent on the Church leaders, the bishops who try to change mindsets and systems.
