T HIS BOOK IS NOT DIVINELY INSPIRED. It draws inspiration and strength from the people who believed in the project, who believed it was time to focus a different lens on the Philippine Catholic Church. These include Church people themselves who are aching for reforms within the institution.
The idea for the book first came up after Newsbreak published the stories of Bishop Crisostomo Yalung and Bishop Teodoro Bacani in 2003, which I wrote. It was one of the best and the worst of times for the magazine. We broke the long silence on the misdemeanors of holy men. But this caused trouble in our two-year-old magazine. One of the members of our board of advisers was pressured by Jaime Cardinal Sin to resign, saying in a letter that he should not stay a minute longer with an evil magazine.
