"The Friars in the Philippines" by Rev. Ambrose Coleman, O.P. is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work addresses the significant role of religious orders, particularly the friars, in the Philippines, especially during the time of Spanish colonial rule. It seeks to portray the contributions and challenges faced by these religious figures amidst accusations and societal upheaval, providing insights into both the missionary and civil aspects of their missions. At the start of the volume, Coleman reflects on the complex relationship between the friars and the indigenous populations of the Philippines, highlighting how these religious figures shaped the islands' development and Christianity's spread. He contrasts the Christianized native populace with the southern Moro Muslims, presenting a narrative that emphasizes the transformative power of the friars in educational and civil matters. Coleman also hints at the brewing discontent leading up to the rebellion against Spanish rule, suggesting that secret organizations, particularly Freemasonry, played a pivotal role in inciting anti-clerical sentiment that targeted the friars. Through anecdotes and references to historical figures, the opening chapters lay the groundwork for a detailed examination of the socio-political landscape of the Philippines in relation to the impact of the friars from both a historical and ethical perspective.
