Cardinal Sin, a driving force behind two "People's Power" revolts, died on Tuesday morning after suffering multiple organ failure. He was 76 years old. Priests and church officials paid their last respects as they filed past his open coffin. Amongst the mourners was the former Philippine president Corazon Aquino who described Cardinal Sin as a "servant of God, servant of the country, and servant of all the people." His successor, Gaudencio Rosales, The Archbishop of Manila, who presided over a wake at the cathedral, paid his respects to Cardinal Sin, saying "his life was really a big blessing for the church and our country". Sin was one of Asia's most prominent religious leaders, known for his vocal stances on everything from birth control to poverty, politics and the US-led war in Iraq. He stepped down as head of the Manila archdiocese, which he served for nearly three decades, after reaching the retirement age of 75 in November 2003. Archbishop Rosales was his successor. Sin had been ill with kidney problems and diabetes for years and was unable to attend the Vatican conclave that chose a new pope in April, although colleagues said he desperately wanted to go, even if he needed a wheelchair. Although revered by many Filipinos, Sin came under criticism over his active advocacies. He had a thorny relationship with President Fidel Ramos, a Protestant whose 1992-98 administration promoted the use of artificial birth control. Sin advocated only natural methods. Church leaders were consulting with Sin's family on funeral arrangements. His body was to be buried in the crypt beneath Manila Cathedral.
