    Rizal did not retract his beliefs before his execution according to evidence presented in the document. There is no original retraction document and the one that surfaced was deemed a forgery. Rizal's beliefs and personality did not align with retracting his views, and he asked his sister in a letter not to believe any claims of retraction. If he had retracted, he likely would not have been executed. Whether Rizal retracted or not remains an important debate regarding the relationship between the Catholic Church and Freemasonry in the Philippines.

    (pambansang bayani) of the Philippines.
    WHAT IS RETRACTION
    -Retraction is the withdrawal of a
    promise, statement, or opinion.

    WHAT IS A RETRACTION
    PAPER/LETTER
    - Retraction paper/letter is a document
    that withdraws, or rescinds, a previous
    claim.
    Evidence and Arguments that
    Rizal did not retract

     No original document found. Several historians report
    that Rizal retracted through a retraction paper which
    stated.
     The original document was never shown to the public
    and only reproductions and imitation were published
    on newspapers.
     Surfaced to the public on May 13, 1935 was found by Fr.
    Manuel A. Gracia at the Catholic Hierarchy’s Archives
    in Manila.
     Was said to be a replica and not the original copy
    “ I retract with all of
    my heart whatever in
    my words, writings,
    publications and
    conduct have been
    contrary to my
    character as a son of
    the Catholic church”
    Evidence and Arguments that
    Rizal did not retract

     There is no certificate
    of Rizal’s Catholic
    marriage to Josephine
    Bracken
     The retraction
    established the act of
    marriage between
    Rizal and Bracken as it
    was the condition for
    them to be wedded
     No masses were said for his soul or funeral that
    was held for Catholics.
     On December 30, 1896, after the execution,
    Rizal’s body was brought to San Juan de Dios
    Hospital and his remains were buried the same
    day in the Paco cemetery in an unmarked grave.
     Forge Document-Rizal’s family requested for the
    original copy.
     Documents presented were forgery
    His beliefs and personality

    Rizal did not retract, it would run counter to
    everything he believed about the church
    It would not be in line with his beliefs and
    personality
    Mature enough to realizes the consequences
    Unlikely a behavior showing a threat from
    death.
    Rizal did not live in the Parish Convent


    Letter from Fr. Pablo Pastells to Fr. Obach

    Rizal preferred to live in the house of


    Commandant Captain Carnicero –
    mentioned in the book by Libert Acibo and
    Estela Gadiciano - Adanza
    Witness - Baron Fernandez

     Spanish orphan
     Worked for almost half a century in two historical
    secret archives in Madrid and Segovia
     Discovered accounts about the Retraction
     Found 34 documents
     Handwritten letters
     Telegrams
     Military documents
     Rizal’s Defense
    Wrote to his sister

    Before Rizal's death he wrote to his sister
    Narcisa to look inside his shoes
    Inside is a letter that contains his denial of
    the retraction
    Evidence to complete all the
    statements

    Rizal was EXECUTED. If he retracted, he
    would not have been executed
    Importance of the Report

    So why is the retraction of Rizal being debated?
    What is its importance? And Why is it such a
    big deal t the Catholic region?
    Rizal was a Mason. Freemasonry is the
    opposition of the Catholic religion. If
    freemasonry spreads, then the church will be
    relegated to the sidelines.
