    This document discusses Dr. Jose Rizal's alleged retraction before his execution and analyzes the different perspectives on its validity. The author argues that Rizal did not truly retract and provides several reasons for this. First, the context of the retraction was tied to convincing Rizal to retract his novels critical of the Catholic Church and Spanish rule to avoid execution. However, questions remain around the circumstances and timing of the retraction. Additionally, Rizal was not buried properly if he had converted back to Catholicism. So in conclusion, the author believes many details suggest the retraction was fabricated and Rizal did not actually recant his views before his death.

    Read it, pick a side, and explain why you support that side. Write 3-5 paragraphs to
    share your opinion. Back up your explanation with factual information.

    • CASE 3: DR. JOSE P. RIZAL’S RETRACTION


    I choose the refraction of Dr. Jose Rizal because he is a prominent nationalist, writer
    and a hero. Rizal refraction is a document the disavowal that critical writing to the
    Catholic Church because his writing was opposed to the Catholic belief but according
    to the retraction of Dr. Jose Rizal, he stated that he declares himself as a Catholic, he
    confesses the writing that contrary to the character of the son of the Catholic Church. I
    think to this part he proved that he deserves being Catholic.

    The context of Rizal’s retraction is closely tied to the events during the execution and
    according to the retraction that found in chapter 32 and 33 he was accused of
    sedition, rebellion, conspiracy for his involvement in the Philippine Revolution against
    to the Spanish rule and sentenced to death by the Spanish court. The Catholic
    Church and Spanish they convince Rizal to retract his two greatest novel the “Noli Me
    Tangere and “El Filibusterismo.

    According to Father Balaguer, Rizal rectraction is received and accepted the shorter
    retraction. He also added that Rizal rectracted because he wanted to marry Josephine
    Bracken but how Rizal marriage without the reason of retraction. There was no
    certificate found that show the legalizes of their marriage. In that case this retraction
    still debated by a lot of historians because how Rizal created retraction before his
    execution
    Another part, the time of death of Rizal he was not buried without a coffin if he totally
    have Rizal retraction he was buried properly because he was converted back to
    Catholicism. His death is very crucial and why his death need to hide specially to his
    relatives. So, for my conclusion, Rizal did not retract before his execution. I know,
    there is some cases, articles, documents have supported but based from a real story
    behind it. I can say, a lot of Catholic Church they created it to agree that Rizal have
    retraction but behind them the real story will prove that Rizal did not retract.
