Aglipay and

the Jesuits

SIGNIFICANCE
 Aglipay’s
Consecration
as Bishop
Aglipay: “With closed eyes. I would sign this document, not for servile gallantry, but for consolidating the religious peace in my country. But, can you assure me Father, that with
the publication of this document the situation of the friars in the country will be solved?”
Foradada: (Over-confident and over bearing) “Why do you mind so much the Filipino priests, since all the world knows that they are vicious and hopelessly inefficient?”

Aglipay: (Held Foradada by the back of the neck and shouted) “Either you withdraw the odious calumny, Father Foradada, or at this moment I’ll forever end all your
slanderous impertinences.”

Foradada: (Fell on his knees trembling and clasping his hands)

Aglipay: ( Turning to Foradada, Aglipay blurted out) “Your provocative insults took off the mask from your face! I am now convinced that the ecclesiastical authorities of Rome
are incapable of dealing justly with the Filipinos, for I will learn how to respect the character and efficiency of the Filipinos, for I will prove that we are able not only to administer
dioceses, but also to establish, modern churches free from all foreign interference.”

Aglipay left the Jesuit House. Through F. Theo Rogers, they once more invited Aglipay to a conference. It is held at Roger’s house in Intramuros.Father Joaquin
Villalonga was chosen to deal with Aglipay, who was accompanied by the young Aglipayan priest, Santiago Fonancier
