On today's rational deliberation, which spotlights on religion as

well as Rizal's retreat as part of the Philippine history. As the

affirmative side pointing out that Rizal did not die as a Catholic
as well as Rizal did not retract. Due to the fact that he was no
longer practicing Catholic, but remained very much a cultural
one. Additional criterion, is the Rizal Bill, which branded Recto
as a communist and anti-Catholic among those who
condemned it. The Church anticipated the law would infringe
freedom of religious expression and religion, thus according
Abinales and Amoroso (2005) during the 1955 Senate race.
Keep in mind that when we looked at Rizals chronology,
including his interment, we were told that it was treated
confidentially. Despite this, no catholic services or funerals
were given in his honor. Despite the fact that Rizal was
reconciled with the church, he was buried in the earth rather
than a catholic cemetery. Throughout the history, Noli Me
Tangere and El Filibusterismo are some of novels publicized by
Jose Rizal. Yet, these books were banned by Spaniards since
they were written in antagonism to Catholic civilization and
Spanish colonization. Why would someone type up anything
that goes contrary his religion and tradition? That addresses
the question of whether Rizal was a Catholic by stating that he
did not die as a Catholic.
On the other hand, Rizal did not retract since as stated by
Fernandez about the letter of Rizal to his sister and the content
expressing the denial retraction because Rizal knew the friars
were misleading the Filipinos and he wanted to set an accurate
record. if we admit the he was retracted how come Rizal was
executed by firing squad by the Spanish colonial government
for the crime of rebellion on Dec. 30, 1896, at Bagumbayan
Field in Manila. Nevertheless, if he had been retracted, he may
have had a Christian burial and to claim that, Dr. Jose Rizal
did not retract as testified by his great grandnephew December
29, 2011. Another piece of proof that Rizal did not retract is
that when Father Balaguer agreed to marry Jose and
Josephine after Jose signed the retraction document, there was
no marriage certificate or official record to back up Father
Balaguer's claims. Next thing is the petition was refused when
Rizal's family requested the original of the document or a copy
of the claimed retraction letter because there were no retraction
certificate at all. Hence, on the works of Rizal being against the
church, we can conclude that Rizal did not die as a catholic.
