In 1981, as part of the visit of Pope John Paul II in the Philippines, President Ferdinand Marcos has instructed the Central Bank of the Philippines to Counter Stamp all unsold coins that were offered in commemorating the visit of Pope Paul VI in 1970, as to give commemoration to the newly installed Pope on that year.
That the visit of Pope John Paul II has aimed to sit down with ecumenical church leaders and make clear that they are seeking a Christian unity that would gloss over basic theological differences. There remain many obstacles, such as the ordination of women, papal authority, Mariology, contraception, and even a general fear of “bigness.” Ecumenists believe, however, that much progress can result from a continuing stress on the many points on which the churches agree.
