The Philippines is Asia’s only predominantly Christian country.
The Roman Catholic Church has huge influence - divorce and
abortion are illegal for example. The Church is currently engaged
in a huge battle with the government over its plans to provide
free contraceptives to the poor. Stephen Sackur talks to the
Catholic Church’s most senior cleric in the Philippines, Cardinal
Luis Antonio Tagle and asks, is the Catholic Church helping or
hindering the development of the nation?
