Abstract

Being a traditionally religious country, the role of religion in Philippine politics is quite neglected as scholars are used to frame religious actors based on either interest group politics or theological interpretations. This paper employs a new approach called public theology. Using the Reproductive Health Debate from 2010 – 1012 as a case to analyze, the public theology approach fleshes out a marginalized religious sector who became influential in reshaping the religiopolitical discourse about the morality of a politician voting in favor of the Reproductive Health Bill. This marginalized sector, the progressive religious leaders both from Catholic and Protestant, tradition is influential for providing an alternative moral criterion which served as an opportunity for the President and Congress members to defy the moral and political threat posed by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.
从公共神学视角重新审视菲律宾生殖健康政治:进步天主教和新教的作用
作为一个传统的宗教国家,宗教在菲律宾政治中的作用被忽视了,因为学者们习惯于根据利益集团政治或神学解释来界定宗教行为者。本文采用了一种新的方法,称为公共神学。以2010-2012年的生殖健康辩论为例进行分析,公共神学方法充实了一个边缘化的宗教部门,该部门在重塑关于投票支持《生殖健康法案》的政治家道德的宗教政治话语方面发挥了影响力。这个被边缘化的部门,天主教和新教的进步宗教领袖,传统对提供另一种道德标准具有影响力,这为总统和国会议员提供了一个机会,使他们能够对抗菲律宾天主教主教会议构成的道德和政治威胁。
