Abstract

Building on research that problematizes how Filipinos embrace in varying degrees Roman Catholicism, my study probes how differentiated Filipino migrants intimately explore and experience Roman Catholicism's malleability as they create Filipino Chaplaincy in Brussels, Belgium. Using data gathered from the archives, interviews, and participant observation, this ethnographic study demonstrates that "standing for the marginalized" among the Roman Catholic principles, socio-political circumstances in Belgium, and the interpersonal relations within the Filipino community as potent forces for religious authorities as well as Filipino Catholic leaders' desire and project. While my study argues, these areas unveil the Filipino Catholics' strategic moves to create Filipino chaplaincy in Brussels. They also take their share in objectifying Roman Catholicism's very structuring mechanisms. By looking at this distinctive and religious form, we can inform critiques of the mainstream account of anthropology and, by extension, social science to the study of Catholicism.
罗马天主教的可驯服性:菲律宾牧师在比利时布鲁塞尔的创建
在研究问题的基础上,菲律宾人如何在不同程度上拥抱罗马天主教,我的研究探讨了如何区分菲律宾移民亲密探索和体验罗马天主教的可塑性,因为他们在比利时布鲁塞尔创建菲律宾牧师。利用从档案、访谈和参与者观察中收集的数据,这项民族志研究表明,在罗马天主教原则、比利时的社会政治环境和菲律宾社区内的人际关系中,“为边缘人站起来”是宗教当局以及菲律宾天主教领导人的愿望和计划的有力力量。虽然我的研究认为,这些领域揭示了菲律宾天主教徒在布鲁塞尔创建菲律宾牧师的战略举措。他们也参与了对罗马天主教结构机制的客观化。通过观察这种独特的宗教形式,我们可以将对人类学主流描述的批评,延伸到对天主教研究的社会科学的批评。
