About This Book
An account examines the activities of Catholic religious orders in the Philippine islands, describing their missionary, educational, and civic roles among Malay-derived Christian populations and contrasting them with Muslim Moro groups; it reviews allegations and defenses regarding clerical conduct, argues that a secret organization including Freemasonry helped foment rebellion, and explores rebels' grievances and sectarian missionary efforts. The volume compiles eyewitness interviews, official correspondence, letters from clergy, and appendices on related missions in China and on Masonic influence in the Americas, aiming to inform readers about the islands' social, religious, and political tensions.
