Thank you.

My dear students,

I am very pleased to inform you that my article on the Virgin of the Vulnerable Lake: Catholic Engagement in the Philippines has just been published in the top journal, Religions.  In this article, I argue that, in the case of the Virgen de Caysasay, the vulnerabilities of the community—of the bodies of water and of sacred spaces by virtue of them being assigned as such due to religious practices—reveal the dissonance between what the local Catholic Church imparts and communicates through its CBCP pastoral letters on the environment to the faithful community and the realities on the ground.

Thank you.  Stay safe!

Joshua Arao’s group in GEETHIC V24 submitted this work as a final project in General Ethics.  I appreciate the work that came into this.  However, let me just be clear that a well-argued research paper is just as excellent in my estimation.

Check out the group’s excellent work below:
