Bishop Blames the Monks in Philippine Rebellion
Archbishop Dosal of the Philippines tells an Associated Press correspondent that the islands should not be returned to Spanish rule as rebels gain strength. He says the religious orders must go, blaming Dominicans Augustins and Franciscan Receictans, with fewer Benedictines and Capuchins. Spain’s priests dwindled from about 1000 to ~500 as soldiers refuse further service and Spaniards fear reimposition. Annexationists hold a 71 vote majority in the national assembly amid unfinished debate.
