Papal Nuncio ‘very happy’ to witness depth of Catholic tradition in the PHL

THE Papal Nuncio to the Philippines on Thursday paid tribute to the depth and richness of the Catholic faith in the Philippines, remarking as well on the “phenomenon of popular religiosity.

HIS Excellency, the Most Rev. Charles John Brown , the Papal Nuncio to the Philippines, is joined in photo by Rotary Club of Manila President Rafael “Raffy” M. Alunan III and RCM District Governor-Elect Joaquin C. Rodriguez, Sr.

In his address, His Excellency remarked, “The Catholic faith in the Philippines is part of your DNA, with 503 years of Catholic history. One of the impressive things to see here, for me as a Catholic and as a Nuncio, is the depth of Catholic faith here.”“One of the interesting phenomena here that all of you Filipinos better know than I do is the core phenomenon of popular religiosity…Popular religiosity like Sto. Nino, Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Penafrancia, Simbang Gabi Masses, Sta.

The event highlighted RCM’s commitment to fostering dialogue and understanding on important issues facing society today. He had come during a crisis, the Most Reverend Brown recalled, because it “was the middle of Covid crisis at that point—everyone wore masks and face shields and even quarantined during that moment.”
