From thie Historical Introduction: "The reader familiar with the writings of Rizal and Marcelo del Pilar will notice in some of the writings of Burgos reproduced in this volume the nationalist intellectual heritage on which they drew. Although the struggle for the rights of the Filipino clergy suffered eclipse with the death of the three priests in 1872, the concern of Burgos for the equality of Filipino with Spaniard and for justice to all remained at the core of the nationalist aspirations and representations. These ideals and aspirations had taken root in the course of the dispute over the rights of Filipino secular priests to the parishes, an intra-church dispute which only gradually took on racial, and later nationalist, overtones. Yet, even though the omvement was increasingly nationalist by the 1870s, the campaign was still carried on, for the most part, within the framework of the long-standing dispute in the Philippine church between regular and secular clergy. It is necessary, then to see something of the origins and development of this latter problem to understand fully the developments of the second half of the nineteenth century.

"For better or for worse, the history of Philippine Catholicism has always been closely bound up with the history of the Filipino people and the development of the nation. The essays gathered into this volume, however―some of them previously published and here revised, one published for the first time―deal primarily with the inner development of Catholicism in the Philippines. Nonetheless, they inevitably also speak of the development of the Filipino people." ―from the Introduction
