When I first read all the available accounts on these events, I came to the conclusion that Philip must have blackmailed his father. Why else would any minister allow his wayward son to so destroy his work. He could have just as easily paid Philip to stay at home and watch movies. Why did Lee take such a heavy risk. Lee was forced to sacrifice literally hundreds of saints in order to protect his own reputation. What did Philip have on him? I'm speculating here, but possibly it was related to the death of his mother, and Lee's subsequent remarriage. Otherwise it makes no sense to the American mind. Was this just Chinese culture at work -- the Lee family dynasty.
