...style ("Painting peasants is a serious business," he observed) until he moved to Paris at the beginning of 1886 and, as the show's curators note, "underwent one of the greatest transformations in the history of art." In the Paris museums he could see original paintings, including Delacroix's Christ Asleep During the Tempest, and his letters abruptly start to exult about color over content: "Christ in the boat ... with his pale lemon-yellow aureole, luminous in the dramatic purple, dark blue, blood-red patch of the group of disciples, on that terrible emerald-green sea ... what an inspired conception...
...Philip II of Spain, is still shocking. Jaffé sees no conflict between such scenes and Christian works, instead tracing echoes between the despairing gestures of Lucretia and St. Lawrence, who allegedly was roasted to death for his religious beliefs.

For his trouble, the ex-Armed Forces Chief of Staff was branded "antichurch" by the president of the hugely influential Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, and "Satan" and "anti-Christ" by the faithful. That the impoverished nation's birthrate (2.36%) is negating any economic growth (3.1% of GDP) and that the population is projected to double by 2030 hasn't moved the church to reconsider its stance. In fact, its spokesmen disavow links between population size and poverty...
