【研究ノート】

We notice so many articles on so-called “possessions” in the Philippine newspapers, where there are descriptions on how mainly high school students experience seeming mass hysteria. This thesis first suggest that this phenomenon is far from being dealt with in the Philippine studies by related sciences like anthropology, sociology, psychology or mental science. Then it clarifies what this may suggest about social place of the Catholic Church as well as paradoxical function of the church, by comparing newspaper articles with church official documents and news. It also describes how people expect much from the church in a very conventional way, especially in the context of already established church-state separation and organizational secularization, when something spiritual and difficult to solve like “possession” occurs, as well as how the church is a passive respondent of this expectation, implementing what the people expect without clear discourse, that is, routine of traditional rituals of cleansing. It also analyses socio-religious implications of this structure.
