    This document discusses José Rizal's retraction letter. It provides context that Rizal was a Catholic who later joined the Freemasons and wrote works critical of the Catholic Church. Shortly before his execution, Rizal signed a retraction letter stating he renounced Masonry and submitted to the Catholic Church. There is ongoing debate around whether Rizal freely wrote and signed the letter or did so under duress. The document outlines perspectives from both those who believe the retraction was genuine versus those who argue Rizal did not retract willingly.

    José Rizal’s Letter of
    Retraction

    Presentation by: Group 2


    What is Retraction?
    A public statement made about an earlier
    statement that withdraws, cancels, refutes, or
    reverses the original statement or ceases and
    desists from publishing the original
    statement.
    What was the retraction letter about?
    José Rizal
    Josephine Bracken
    Bronze statue of Rizal and Bracken’s last
    moments.
    Retraction letter~
    “I declare myself a catholic and in
    this Religion in which I was born
    and educated I wish to live and
    die.”
    “I retract with all my heart whatever in
    my words, writings, publications and
    conduct has been contrary to my
    character as son of the Catholic
    Church. I believe and I confess
    whatever she teaches and I submit to
    whatever she demands.”
    “I abominate Masonry, as the enemy which is of
    the Church, and as a Society prohibited by the
    Church. The Diocesan Prelate may, as the
    Superior Ecclesiastical Authority, make
    public this spontaneous manifestation of mine in
    order to repair the scandal which my acts may
    have caused and so that God and people may
    pardon me.”
