Description
Fr. Lhem J. Naval’s book is an important voice in this dialogue. As a lawyer and legal scholar who also happens to be a Catholic priest, he is highly qualified to explain the intricacies not only of the Philippine law and jurisprudence on conscientious objection, but also the historical and intellectual context in which such law and jurisprudence developed. This book, which is the product of this endeavor, is a valuable tool for both advocates and scholars who grapple with the issue of conscientious objection and its relationship with the common good of Philippine society.
