Quezon City Ateneo de Manila University 2010. pp. 3-43 Vol. 58, nos. 1-2 (June 2010) "This article provides new information on the creole Filipino, Fr. Pedro Pablo Pelaez, who, together with Fr. Jose Burgos, was the most outstanding clergyman in the nineteenth-century Philippines. It discusses Father Pelaez's previously unknown activities in the cabildo of the Manila Cathedral, where he was its most distinguised member. It analyzes his reformist ideas, and explains his work and strategy to defend the Filipino secular clergy, whose rights were being violated by the royal orders of 1848 and 1861. Against the reactionary religious orders, Pelaez had a detailed modus operandi to defend the legitimacy of native priests' control of parishes. Although his activities were cut short by his unexpected death in the earthquake of June 1863, Pelaez served as an inspiration to be emulated." Catholic church Clergy. Secularism Church history.
