My proofs that Dr. Rizal never retracted his anti Catholic views before he was executed by the Spaniards


This is the picture of Philippine's national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal

I am just sharing my views about Catholic defense to discredit anti Catholic views of Rizal being used sometimes by Evangelicals, INC and ADD religion to prove the Catholic Church's doctrines folly with an intention to get converts.

Here are my views:

1) Four retraction letters surfaced with different words which cannot be found to each one. If really Rizal retracted, only 1 formula will appear since during that time, there is a so called printing press.

 At least four texts of Rizal’s retraction have surfaced. The fourth text appeared in El Imparcial on the day after Rizal’s execution; it is the short formula of the retraction.

2) The friars will brag to show it to Rizal's family since the family wants to see it to confirm it is true. but sadly, even the family never saw it. Really this is not really true.

3) Even Fr. Sanchez failed to bring Rizal his faith in Catholicism. So Rizal will not even follow the Jesuits wishing him to retract who is not Fr. Sanchez whose priest is Rizal's favorite teacher at Ateneo because Rizal even disobeyed Fr. Sanchez's wish to return his faith in Catholicisim.

This is why Rizal and Josephine Bracken never get married while they are in Dapitan.

So Both the Jesuits and Dominicans are not sure if Rizal really retracted.

 Neither Fr. Pi nor His Grace the Archbishop ascertained whether Rizal himself was the one who wrote and signed the retraction. (Ascertaining the document was necessary because it was possible for one who could imitate Rizal’s handwriting aforesaid holograph; and keeping a copy of the same for our archives, I myself delivered it personally that the same morning to His Grace Archbishop… His Grace testified: At once the undersigned entrusted this holograph to Rev. Thomas Gonzales Feijoo, secretary of the Chancery." After that, the documents could not be seen by those who wanted to examine it and was finally considered lost after efforts to look for it proved futile.

Fr. Balaguer is not really sure if really Rizal wrote the retraction himself.

Fr. Balaguer said that the "exact copy" was "written and signed by Rizal" but he did not say "written and signed by Rizal and himself" (the absence of the reflexive pronoun "himself" could mean that another person-the copyist-did not).

This is the reason why it is still debatable because the friars themselves are not really sure that Rizal really wrote the retraction.

In my own opinion, You can read in Dr. Rizal's novel named NOLI ME TANGERE that one of its antagonists in the novel, Fr. Salvi fabricated a fake letter to accused falsely of Crisostome Ibarra (The main protagonist of the novel) to a revolution.

So Rizal knew before that one of the friars doings is to make a fabricated document to destroy their enemies' reputation.

IN MY OWN OPINION, The ones who created Rizal's so called retration are the friars themselves in order nullify Rizal's anti Catholic views fearing that this will cause total apostasy within the Catholic Church of the Filipino People.

I believe that authors who believe Rizal's retraction are devoted Catholic and they cannot accept that the hero himself is convinced that the Church's teachings are unbiblical and being used by the 19th Century friars to maintain the ignorance of my Filipino ancestors to hold their power in my country.

because if my ancestors will be educated, they will have the power to disagree to abusive measures done by the friars like imposing high taxes and many more.
