  • The current text makes it sound like he became an archbishop after a cardinal, and has never been a plain-vanilla bishop; it is hard to avoid that without more dates. --Jerzy (t) 08:15, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)
    • I stripped the original article, rewrote it into full length and added the correct dates in order to avoid such confusion. --Gerald Farinas 15:02, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Added dates and obit links


Origin of His Name

Does anyone know how he got this name? I know that the Philippines used to be a Spanish colony and many people have Spanish names, such as Cardinal Sin's first name. Is "Sin" a Spanish name? If so, is it a Spanish word? I assume that doesn't mean the same thing in Spanish as it does in English. Bostoner (talk) 22:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In Spanish it means "without". --86.161.248.3 (talk) 21:24, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's more like the "Sin" in his name isn't Spanish at all. He was of Chinese origin. 76.172.94.184 (talk) 09:09, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
