The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cebu (or of the Most Holy Name of Jesus) is one of the ecclesiastical provinces of the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines. It is composed of the entire civil province of Cebu (Cebu and the nearby islands of Mactan, Bantayan and Camotes). Cebu is considered as the fount of Christianity in the Far East.[3][4][5][6] The Church of Cebu is the Mother-Church of the Philippines.[4][7][8]

The seat of the archdiocese is Saint Vitales Metropolitan Cathedral-Parish. The current archbishop is the Most Reverend José S. Palma, DD, STh.D, who was installed on January 13, 2011.

The archdiocese honors Our Lady of Guadalupe de Cebú as its patroness while the second Filipino saint St. Pedro Calungsod as its secondary patron saint.

Since the beginning of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, most of its presidents are prelates from the archdiocese (Cardinal Julio Rosales in 1961–1966 and re-elected 1974–1976, Cardinal Ricardo Vidal in 1985–1987, and Archbishop Jose Palma in 2011-2013), also Archbishop Gabriel Reyes served as the first chairman of its predecessor the Catholic Welfare Organization (1945-1949 and 1950-1952).

As of 2013, the archdiocese registered a total of 4,609,590 baptized Catholics.[9] It is currently the largest archdiocese in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia having the most number of Catholics, seminarians and priests.[10]

Ecclesiastical province

Its Ecclesiastical province comprises the Metropolitan's own Archbishopric and the following Suffragan sees :

History

Antecedents

  • The Mother-Church of Cebu

The history of the future Archdiocese of Cebu began with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in Cebu in 1521.[11] The Church anchored in that year[12] by the native Cebuanos' profession of faith in Christ,[13] baptism,[14] the daily celebration of the Mass,[15] and the chaplain of the expedition, Fr. Pedro Balderrama being the legitimate pastor for their spiritual needs.

However, immediately after its inception during the aftermath of Battle of Mactan, the Church of Cebu experienced decadence due to lack of shepherds to enforce and edify the natives on the faith. Most of the natives materially apostatized, while others clung unto the image of the Santo Niño (the first Christian icon in the Philippines given as a baptismal gift by Magellan). The unintended negligence lasted for 44 years until it was re-established in 1565 by the arrival of Miguel López de Legazpi and Fray Andrés de Urdaneta. The remnant of the Cebuano Church in 1521, as evident in the person of Rajah Tupas, was resuscitated by the Augustinians as an Abbey nullius (an equivalent of a diocese) when the formal evangelization of the Philippines commenced with Fr. Urdaneta as the first prelate.[16][17][18] The oversight of the natives was then succeeded to Fray Diego de Herrera who would later re-baptized Tupas and his servants in 1568. Adalentado Miguel Lopez de Legazpi established his government in Cebu, thus the first capital of the Philippines.

The Church expanded from Cebu when the remaining missionaries led by Fr. Diego de Herrera when they were forced northwest temporarily due to conflict with the Portuguese and laid the foundations of the Christian community in the Panay in around 1569.[4]

In 1570 the second batch of missionaries reached Cebu. The island became the ecclesiastical "seat" as it was the center for evangelization. A notable missionary was Fr. Alfonso Jimenez, O.S.A., who travelled and penetrated the Camarines region through the islands of Masbate, Leyte, Samar, and Burias and founded the Church there. He was called the first apostle of the region.[4]

By 1571, Fr. Herrera who was assigned as chaplain of Legazpi, from Panay advanced further north and founded the local Church community in Manila. There Legazpi transferred the seat of government to the territory. Though, Cebu remained the spiritual capital of the country.[4]

On 1572 the Spaniards led by Juan de Salcedo marched from Manila further north with the second batch of Augustinian missionaries and pioneered the evangelization to the communities in the Ilocos (starting with Vigan) and the Cagayan regions.[4]

  • Asia

After Christianity in Cebu rippled throughout the Philippines, the Spanish mendicant orders and the natives extended their missions to Amboina (Indonesia), Macao, Formosa, Hokkien (China), Borneo, and the Micronesian region, among others.

Diocese of Cebu

On February 6, 1579, the Philippines first diocese, the Diocese of Manila had been established as a suffragan of the See of Mexico. On August 14, 1595, Pope Clement VIII in his Papal Brief "Super specula militantis ecclesiae" elevated the Diocese of Manila to Metropolitan Archdiocese and established three new dioceses as its suffragans : the Diocese of Cebu, the Diocese of Caceres and the Diocese of Nueva Segovia.[19] The Diocese of Cebu's first bishop was Pedro de Agurto, an Augustinian.[4][19]

As a diocese, Cebú had a very extensive territory which then included the whole of the Visayas, Mindanao[11] and "more southern islands";[20] also it extended farther to the Pacific such as the Marianas,[21] Carolines, and Palau.[22]

However it lost territory repeatedly :

On April 28, 1934, it was elevated to a Metropolitan Archdiocese with last suffragan bishop Gabriel M. Reyes promoted as its first Archbishop. On November 8, 1941, it lost territory to establish Diocese of Tagbilaran as its suffragan.

The Archdiocese was visited by Pope John Paul II in 1981.

Titular Honors

Cebu's Basilica del Sto. Niño: Mother and Head of All Churches

In the Apostolic Letter Ut Clarificetur, on the conferring the titles and privileges of the basilica, Pope Blessed Paul VI in 1965 described the Cebu's now Basilica del Santo Niño as the "Mother and Head of all Churches in the Philippines" (mater et caput... omnium ecclesiarum Insularum Philippinarum).[23] The same Blessed Paul VI also named the basilica the "symbol of the birth and growth of Christianity in the Philippines."[24]

Seat of Philippine Christianity

Pope St. John Paul II, in his Homily for Families in Cebu (February 19, 1981), called the island as the birthplace of the faith:

Finding myself in this important city known as the cradle of Christianity in the Philippines, I want to express my deep joy and profound thanksgiving to the Lord of history. The thought that for 450 years the light of the Gospel has shone with undimmed brightness in this land and on its people is cause for great rejoicing.[25]

Herald of Philippine Christian Tradition

In Cebu the first baptism was made (April 14, 1521), hence, Rajah Humabon and the rest of the natives became the very first Filipino Christians. In the island also was the first Mass was participated by Filipino converts. Also in the territory the first resistance against the Mohammedan advance from the south.[26] The first Philippine Christian feast dedicated to the Sto. Niño was instituted and celebrated there. The first recorded confession and the last rites of an accused inhabitant transpired.[27] The very first temples were erected (the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral and Basilica del Santo Niño) in the Philippines.[28] The first Christian Marriage transpired with Isabel, the niece of Rajah Tupas and Andres, the Greek caulker of Legazpi, and their children baptized representing the first infant baptisms.[29]
