The Church in Panitan, Capiz has a very interesting Patron Saint. He was St Lawrence who was a Spanish deacon of the Church in the years 257 and 258 in Rome. What is interesting is what this young man did and how he met his end through the most horrendous martyrdom possible. We tell his story briefly to provide some background to what we found when we visited this lovely spacious and airy church. He is the same St Lawrence after whom Jacques Cartier named the majestic St Lawrence River when he discovered Canada in the early 1500's..
Magalat led a revolt in 1596 in Cagayan against Spanish rule due to resentment over tribute payments and forced labor, but his revolt was defeated when he was killed by his own men who were promised a reward by the Spanish. After being imprisoned and released due to priest intervention, Magalat started another rebellion but was again defeated when the governor sent troops to stop the revolt, executing several leaders while Magalat himself was killed by his own men. The death of Magalat caused the failure of the revolt and brought peace to the province.
This document discusses Filipino religious psychology based on investigations into folk Christianity, religious experiences, and religious leadership in the Philippines. Key findings include that Filipino folk Christianity incorporates magical and animistic elements valuable to understanding Filipino psychology. Religious experiences like fasting and Holy Week rituals can induce altered states of consciousness and be understood psychologically. Religious leadership is often charismatic and ascribed supernatural powers, with leaders benefiting materially from their missions. The document argues for a holistic understanding of how religion pervades many aspects of Filipino life and culture.
The document summarizes the history of secularization in the Philippines during Spanish colonization. It describes the distinction between regular priests, who belonged to religious orders, and secular priests, who were mostly Filipino and not bound by monastic rules. Secular priests faced discrimination and had limited opportunities. The execution of three Filipino priests in 1872 who advocated for secularization and equal rights intensified tensions and sparked the Cavite Mutiny. Spanish religious officials held significant political and social influence as representatives of the colonial government who also controlled education.
St Isidore the Farmer Church, Pontevedra, Capiz. Episode 3 of 5Fergus Ducharme
The document discusses a trip to explore parts of Capiz Province and visit St Isidore the Farmer Church in Pontevedra, Capiz. The church was founded in 1878 by Augustinian Friars. Little is known about the church's history. The author plans to visit the church again on a upcoming trip to learn more and provide more details about it.
This document provides background information on the Protestant Reformation and its impacts. It discusses figures prior to Luther who criticized corruption in the Catholic Church, including John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and Girolamo Savonarola. It then covers Luther's religious struggles that led him to question Catholic doctrine on salvation. It also mentions growing German nationalism that contributed to the success of the Reformation. Finally, it discusses the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church, which was one of the events that prompted Luther to publish his 95 Theses criticizing the practice.
The removal of the papacy to Avignon signaled a change in its status and relationship with rulers. Living away from Rome in France, the Avignon popes demanded increasingly higher taxes. This disturbed the people and countries like England who were against French domination of the church during the Hundred Years' War. The French king also gained confidence in controlling the papacy after arresting Pope Boniface VIII.

The document provides descriptions of several famous churches around the world, including:
1) Santo Domingo Church and Ex-Convent in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, known for its pink facade, golden carvings, and housing a museum of Mayan culture.

The beginning of modern age in europe(The reformation)Taher Kamari
The document provides background on the Reformation in Europe. It began as a protest against abuses within the Catholic Church in the 16th century. Critics opposed the corruption and financial exploitation, including the selling of indulgences. This led to a split, with Protestants breaking away from the Catholic Church's authority under the Pope. Martin Luther emerged as a key figure, publicly challenging the Church and its teachings. His protests helped spark the wider Reformation movement.
The document discusses religious reforms in medieval Europe between 1000-1500 AD. It describes how monastic orders like the Benedictines declined due to Viking raids but were reformed through new orders like the Cluny and Cistercians that lived more strictly. It also discusses efforts to reform the Catholic Church by figures like Pope Gregory VII who banned clerical marriage and lay investiture. New architectural styles like Romanesque and Gothic emerged as the Church grew wealthier and built large cathedrals.
The document discusses several topics related to changes in the Catholic Church between the 14th and 15th centuries:
1) The removal of popes to Avignon signaled a change in their status and relationship to Rome. It disturbed people and the popes demanded increasingly high taxes.
2) Moscow became considered the "third Rome" after the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks, with rulers seeing themselves as the successors to the Byzantine Empire.
3) A revival of spiritual works and meditation emerged despite corruption in parts of the Church, including famous works like the Imitation of Christ. However, the selling of indulgences also became widespread, distorting the original purpose of pardoning sins
The authority of the Catholic Church grew during this period as popes sought to prevent secular rulers from interfering in church affairs and ensure Christians followed church teachings. Monastic orders like the Benedictines and Cluniacs demanded higher moral standards from clergy and more independence from secular control. Meanwhile, the Investiture Controversy saw Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV clash over who had authority to appoint bishops, demonstrating the increasing political power and influence of the papacy. This period also saw the establishment of the College of Cardinals, religious reforms, and calls for the church to combat heresy through the Inquisition.
The document summarizes some of the key historical factors that contributed to the roots of the Protestant Reformation in 3 parts:
1) The rise of towns, capitalism, and democracy in the High Middle Ages led to clashes between kings and popes over church taxes and revelations of corruption in the Catholic Church.
2) Events like the Babylonian Captivity, Great Schism, and criticisms of John Wycliffe and John Hus further damaged the church's reputation.
3) Developments in northern Europe like the spread of ideas through the printing press and Germany's decentralized political structure enabled Luther's reforms to take hold.

Charles Borromeo was a highly influential Catholic reformer born in 1538 in Lombardy, Italy. He came from a noble family and was a nephew of Pope Pius IV. As a young man he studied law but felt called to the priesthood. He became a cardinal at age 22 and used his influence to help reform the Catholic Church in response to the Protestant Reformation. As Archbishop of Milan from 1565 until his death in 1584, he worked tirelessly to reform clergy training, establish seminaries, strengthen the faith of ordinary people, and care for those afflicted during times of plague and famine. He promoted strict discipline but also compassion. Charles Borromeo is regarded as a leading figure of the Counter
Early Modern Society, Politics And ReligionStrathallan
Early 16th century Europe was politically unstable with five main power blocs vying for influence - France, Iberia, the Italian states, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. The Catholic Church was also criticized for issues like simony, pluralism, and clergy acting immorally. Most people firmly believed in the existence of heaven, hell, and purgatory and that the Church and priests provided the only path to salvation and assurance about the afterlife. Growing anticlericalism and desire for reform among the laity would help spark the Protestant Reformation.
The document summarizes religious reforms that took place from the 900s to 1300s in Europe. It discusses issues facing the Catholic Church like the selling of church positions and marriage of priests. Monks at Cluny began strictly following Benedictine rules, influencing other monasteries. Pope Leo IX and Gregory VII enacted reforms, ending simony and priest marriage. The Church structure was reorganized like a kingdom, with the Pope at the head. New orders of friars like the Dominicans and Franciscans spread the faith, while grand Gothic cathedrals were built across Europe.
This document provides information on ancient and medieval baptismal fonts located in Rome, Italy dating from antiquity through the 13th century. It begins with an introduction and list of fonts, then describes each location's baptismal history and features. Many fonts date to the 4th century and earlier, when immersion baptism was practiced. Sites include churches, catacombs, and former private homes that served as early Christian meeting places. The fonts range from circular to rectangular in shape, some carved from stone sarcophagi. Most were rediscovered during archaeological excavations beneath current church buildings.
This document provides biographical information on Saint Leo the Great, who was Pope from 440 to 461 AD. It notes that he was born in Tuscany around 390 AD and became a deacon in Rome. As Pope, he successfully fought the spread of heresies like Manichaeism and Pelagianism. He also played an important diplomatic role, preventing Attila the Hun from sacking Rome in 452 AD. Saint Leo is regarded as a Doctor of the Church for his theological writings and defense of orthodox Christianity. He died in Rome in 461 AD and was later proclaimed a saint.
1) In 1496, the Virgin Mary appeared to a poor father in Lombardy, Italy and told him to strike a rock, from which fresh spring water began to flow to quench his children's thirst.
2) Local Catholic laypeople accepted the miracle and built a small chapel at the site, which was later expanded into the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Altino.
3) Over centuries the sanctuary buildings were enlarged and remodeled, though the spring water from the original apparition site remains accessible to pilgrims.

St Lawrence the Deacon Parish
Panitan, Capiz. Founded in 1802
6. 17 March 2015 Creative Commons License: Attribution, Non-Commercial, No-Derivatives, 4.0 International License 6
Panitan was officially established as a full fledged town in 1800 and it
subsequently was granted full parish status by the local ecclesiastical authorities
in 1806 with the approval of Pope Pius VI and it was under the sponsorship of
San Lorenzo (St Lawrence the Deacon) with Augustinian Friar Luis Ortega being
appointed the first parish priest in 1807.
The parish was founded by Augustinian Friar Juan Fernandez 1802
However, the story really starts much earlier in about 1572 when Panitan,
then known as Ipion, was established as a visita of Panay and was served by
itinerant priests who would travel to the various chapels throughout the area
from their main base at Santa Monica Church in Panay (about 13.5 kilometers)
from the settlement .

The parish was run by the Augustinians until 1898 with the help of some native
born secular priests such as: Father Jose Ubaldo del Rosario who served the
parish from 1818 to 1832 and again from 1850 to 1851. He was followed by
Father Timoteo de la Consolacion from 1832 to 1841.
The construction of the actual stone church was started in 1841 under the
guidance of Friar Jose Veloso who worked on the construction project until
1844 when he was posted elsewhere and replaced by Friar Jose Aparicio.
The church structure was made of rough stone and mortar as with most
churches in the region. The convent was wood with slate and lime floors.

The Augustinians left the region during the Revolution in 1898 and were
replaced by Secular Priests who have served the parish and the province ever
since.
Before continuing with our story we need to explore who St Lawrence the
Deacon was and what the relationship is between that particular Saint and this
parish in far, far away Panitan, Philippines.
Lawrence of Rome (225–258) was one of the seven deacons of ancient Rome
under Pope Sixtus II that were martyred during the persecution of Emperor
Valerian in 258.
St Lawrence is thought to have been born in Spain, at Huesca, a town in the
Aragon region. Here he encountered the future Pope Sixtus II, who was of Greek
origin, one of the most famous and highly esteemed teachers in Zaragoza, which
was one of the empire's most renowned centers of learning.

Eventually, both left Spain for Rome.
When Sixtus became the Pope in 257,
he ordained St Lawrence as a deacon,
and though still young appointed him
first among the seven deacons who
served in the patriarchal church.
He is called Archdeacon of Rome, a
position of great trust that included
the care of the treasury and riches of
the church and distribution of alms
among the poor.

St. Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, notes that Roman authorities had established a
norm according to which all Christians who had been denounced must be
executed and their goods confiscated by the Imperial treasury. At the beginning
of August 258, the emperor Valerian issued an edict that all bishops, priests,
and deacons should immediately be put to death. Sixtus was captured on 6
August 258, at the cemetery of St. Callixtus while celebrating the liturgy and
executed forthwith.
After the death of Sixtus, the prefect of Rome demanded that St Lawrence turn
over the riches of the Church. St. Ambrose is the earliest source for the tale that
St Lawrence asked for three days to gather together the wealth. He worked
swiftly to distribute as much Church property to the poor as possible, so as to
prevent its being seized by the prefect.
On the third day, at the head of a small delegation, he presented himself to the
prefect, and when ordered to give up the treasures of the Church he presented
the poor, the crippled, the blind and the suffering, and said these were the true
treasures of the Church.

One account records him declaring to the prefect,
"The Church is truly rich, far richer than your
emperor." This act of defiance led directly to his
martyrdom and can be compared to the parallel
Roman tale of the jewels of Cornelia
On 10 August, St Lawrence, the last of the seven
deacons, suffered a martyr's death. By tradition, St
Lawrence was sentenced at San Lorenzo in Miranda,
imprisoned in San Lorenzo in Fonte, and martyred at
San Lorenzo in Panisperna.
The Almanac of Philocalus for the year 354 mentions
that he was buried in the Via Tiburtina in the
Catacomb of Cyriaca by Hippolytus and Justin the
Confessor, a presbyter. One of the early sources for the
martyrdom was the description by Aurelius Prudentius
Clemens in his Peristephanon, Hymn II.
A well-known legend has persisted from earliest times.
As deacon in Rome, St Lawrence was charged with
the responsibility for the material goods of the Church
and the distribution of alms to the poor.

St Ambrose of Milan relates that when St
Lawrence was asked for the treasures of
the Church he brought forward the poor,
among whom he had divided the treasure
as alms.
"Behold in these poor persons the treasures
which I promised to show you; to which I
will add pearls and precious stones, those
widows and consecrated virgins, which are
the church’s crown." The prefect was so
angry that he had a great gridiron
prepared, with coals beneath it, and had
Lawrence’s body placed on it (hence St
Lawrence's association with the gridiron).
After the martyr had suffered the pain for
a long time, the legend concludes, he made
his famous cheerful remark, "I'm well done.
Turn me over!” From this derives his
patronage of cooks and chefs.

Constantine I is said to have built a small oratory in honour of St Lawrence, which
was a station on the itineraries of the graves of the Roman martyrs by the seventh
century.
Pope Damasus I rebuilt or repaired the church, now San Lorenzo fuori le Mura, while
the minor basilica of San Lorenzo in Panisperna was built over the place of his
martyrdom.
The gridiron of the martyrdom was placed by Pope Paschal II in the Church of San
Lorenzo in Lucina.

The estate upon which the Basilica sits was once
home to a small oratory built by Emperor
Constantine I. The Emperor built it over the site
on which it was believed that Saint Lawrence was
executed.
In the 580s, Pope Pelagius II commissioned the
construction of a church over the site, in honor of
the martyr.
In the 13th century, Pope Honorius III
commissioned the construction of another church
in front of the older structure. It was adorned
with frescoes depicting the lives of Saint Lawrence,
and the first martyred deacon Saint Stephen, who
is interred with Lawrence in the confessio under
the high altar.
The two structures were united as part of a
program of urban renewal. Excavations have
revealed several other crypts of various people,
buried below street level. Saint Hilarius is buried
here.

The portico, c. 1220, has
Cosmatesque decoration by the
Vassaletti family of craftsmen.
The 13th-century frescoes, which
have been recently reconstructed,
depict scenes from the lives of St
Stephen and St Lawrence, both
deacons and martyrs.
There are two ancient sarcophagi in
the portico. A Christian one, possibly
decorated in the 7th century on an
older sarcophagus, has a relief
depicting putti picking grapes. While
vines and grapes are symbols of the
Eucharist, this is not likely here.
Two Romanesque stone lions were
moved here from the old entrance.

We now know who St Lawrence was as
well as how and why he was martyred.
Let’s now get back to our visit of the
Church in his name in Panitan, Capiz

This beautiful church is situated in a very
nice area bordering Panitan’s Town Plaza.
At one end of the Plaza is the Town Hall
and facing it is a great looking gazebo
where towns people and visitors can sit
and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere or just
sit and watch the world go by.
Next to the Church and between it and
the town hall is a ‘recreation area’ which
includes a basketball court and a large
covered meeting area sort of like a town
gym.

above the central portico and I haven’t
an individual picture of it is as dove in
flight which I believe to be a depiction of
the Holy Spirit. Just above the Dove is a
Labarum which is the Christian symbol
representing Jesus Christ. On the left side
above the statue of the Greek letter
Alpha (A) and on the right tower we see
the Greek letter Omega (Ω). These
symbols in Christianity represent the
eternal nature of Jesus Christ.

As we enter the Church we note that it is a three aisle church & its
spaciousness is impressive. It is also quite bright and makes you feel welcome.
The major variance in this Church is the fact that it has two galleries along
each side of the church accessible from the choir loft likely to accommodate
additional people for services.

as we move up the central aisle and approach the sanctuary, we are impressed
by how big the church appears to be. It is plain but very large and airy, large
doors are spaced at regular intervals along both side aisles.

As we reach the sanctuary we look back and the sight, as mentioned earlier,
is quite impressive…

On each side of the sanctuary there are two plaques representing the writers of
the bible, Mathew, March, Luke & John

As we head back to the main entrance,
along one of the side aisles, we come to
the only confessional in the church, once
again the simplicity is striking.
Once we get to the entrance, we see
three statues we some how missed when
we came in.

As we leave the church and walk into the courtyard located to the side of the
Church around which are the Parish Centre, a Private Prayer area and the
Convent.

The Gridiron Hall is the Parish Centre
which houses the Parish Offices and
meeting hall. It is so named after the
Gridiron on which St Lawrence was
Martyred. Also not the paving stone
area immediately in front of the Hall
which is done to also recall the gridiron.
Around the ‘corner’ from the Gridiron
Hall and across the courtyard is the
Parish Convento and facing it next to
the church is a roofed area where the
parish vehicules are parked.

the statues of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as well as the Sacred Heart of Mary.
