Heh, heh. Too easy a joke to make. I can imagine Peter Jennings on the news tonight asking some higher-ups in the cult–er, I mean “church”–what the death of Cardinal Sin means for Catholics. In all seriousness, Cardinal Sin was a good guy:
An ethnic Chinese, Sin shot to global prominence in 1986 when he rallied a million people to form human barricades on Manila’s main highway and to protect a puny band of 300 army rebels against advancing tanks loyal to dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
His radio broadcasts in support of the mutineers ignited the now legendary “People Power” revolt that drove Marcos into exile and swept political novice Aquino to the presidency.
