In joyful commemoration of the first anniversary of the successful and peaceful four-day revolution in February 1986, we would like to honor one of its great heroes by publishing some of his speeches in which he relates the role the people, the Church, and he played in the EDSA revolution and its meaning to us Filipinos. These speeches of His Eminence, Jaime Cardinal L. Sin, were carefully chosen from the voluminous files of addresses which he delivered at the aftermath of the February Revolution. It would be recalled that during the Marcos regime the only institution which could openly criticize the government, especially on its violations of human rights, was the Church. And since Cardinal Sin has been the most outspoken critic among the Church leaders in the Philippines in performing their prophetic duty, he has always fund himself at odds with the government and its leaders. Consequently, he has been a favorite subject of criticisms. The question whether the Church has been interfering in politics frequently surfaced whenever Cardinal Sin spoke out against certain government policies and actions. Even now that the deposed dictator and his cohorts are gone. Cardinal Sin has not been spared from the vilifications of people who simply do not agree with him. Being a prophet of denunciation and a priest of reconciliation. Cardinal Sin has been frowned upon by the enemies of truth and justice but admired by lovers of peace and charity. --Introduction of the book.
