...since 1860, but it was not until 1902, after a delegation to Madrid got a cold shoulder from the Papal Nuncio, that a group of Socialist-minded Philippine Catholics decided that the Pope was no longer their spiritual "father, but just a stepfather." A revolutionary, excommunicated priest named Gregorio Aglipay was proclaimed Supreme Bishop. Almost overnight, membership in the new church jumped to nearly...
...years, until his death at 80 in 1940, tough Bishop Aglipay worked to weld his loyal dissidents into a permanent, functioning church. Aglipay's chief concern was with the problem of the "apostolic succession." The Roman Catholic Church had consecrated no native bishops by the time the Aglipayans broke away, and though Aglipay lost no time in having himself consecrated by a group of "presbyters," the procedure did not seem to him quite "valid."

This vigorous, indomitable, and patient servant of all good things in the Philippine Islands, and the beloved Archbishop of a large group of devoted people, surely is not only worthy of the affection in which...
...reporting the conflict between Bishop Dougherty and Archbishop Aglipay, TIME had no intention of disparaging the latter able churchman or his friends. Welcoming Unitarian Cornish's extended mention of the Archbishop, TIME would hesitate, however, to call Aglipay's people "not of the Catholic faith." Bishop Dougherty considered them "lapsed Catholics," and in the case of the millions he brought back to the Church he would seem to have been right. Before Archbishop Aglipay became friends with Governor Taft, a Unitarian, he claimed that his Church was Catholic in everything save that it repudiated Rome, abandoned the confessional...
