N2  - The Rhetorics of Sin focuses on Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, who figured prominently in the political life of the Philippines. His position as a Roman Catholic cardinal from 1976 to 2005 enabled him to influence Philippine social and political affairs. This book analyzes selected rhetorical discourses of Sin within the period 1972 to 1992. It describes the identifiable forces in configured interplay and the exigential flows of antecedents-events-consequences. Cardinal Sin's rhetoric was created and shaped by these forces leading to a rhetorical role and persona he played within the historical configuration period. The book attempts to provide an answer to the seemingly perennial question: Did Jaime Cardinal Sin violate the constitutional provision of separation of Church and State in the Philippines?
