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.

Preface.

The following pages originally appeared as magazine articles. In both England and America the papers were favorably received; and as the public has not heard the last of the Friars in the Philippines, it seemed worth while to reproduce them in the more permanent form of a small volume, making such corrections and additions as might be deemed advisable. Whatever may be the shortcomings of the book, there is a real and pressing need for the information it contains, and this need must remain the excuse for its imperfections. A fair consideration of the facts it presents is confidently expected from a people whose love of justice is almost proverbial: Truth should have nothing to fear from Americans.
