Military Ordinariate of The Philippines - Military Ordinary

Military Ordinary

The Military Ordinary must be a Filipino-born member of the nation's church hierarchy, and is appointed by the Holy See after consultation with the government. The Pope freely nominates the Military Ordinary– normally a bishop– or institutes or confirms the candidate legitimately chosen according to the Canon Law. He belongs by right to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines and is subject to the Congregation for Bishops.

Famous quotes containing the words military and/or ordinary:

    The domestic career is no more natural to all women than the military career is natural to all men.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Y’know plenty of people, in their right mind, thought they saw things that didn’t exist, y’know, like flying saucers. The light was just right, and the angle and the imagination. Oh boy, if that’s what it is, then this is just an ordinary night. You and I are going to go home and go to sleep and tomorrow when we get up that sun’s gonna shine. Just like yesterday. Good ol’ yesterday.
