A «peaceful revolution» is possible, the secretary of the Pontifical Missionary Works in the Philippines, Aissa P. Bautista, said in a message distributed by the Vatican missionary agency Fides.
Bautista´s statement was made following the success of Manila´s «People Power» prayer movement, which ended with the rapid exit from the country of President Joseph Estrada, and the coming to power of Catholic President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in the Edsa shrine.
Aissa Bautista stressed that all Christian denominations took part in the prayer march, an encouraging witness during this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which will end Thursday.
