    Rizal did not retract his criticisms of the Catholic Church and Spanish colonial rule before his execution, according to the document. While some argue he retracted, there is substantial evidence he did not, including doubts about the legitimacy and provenance of the alleged retraction document. Specifically, the document was not available for examination by Rizal's family after being publicized, and the "original" was only discovered by the Church 39 years after Rizal's death.

    Did Jose Rizal Retract? No, Rizal did not retract. Although there were many opinions and evidences
    presented by various authors as to whether Rizal did or did not retract. Nonetheless, until now there is
    no proof or any justification to end the debate.

    I believe that Dr. Rizal did not withdraw at all because of his fervent criticism of the Catholic Church’s
    abuses and of the Spanish colonial authority. This is so because there is substantial proof that he did not
    retract. Let’s start with the retraction document’s legitimacy. Dr. Rizal is said to have signed it, and the
    document’s content was made public in the press. After learning what Dr. Rizal had done, his family
    asked to see the original paper so they could confirm if it was written in his handwriting or not, but the
    Jesuit priests said they had lost it. The Catholic Church claims to have discovered the “original”
    document of Dr. Rizal's death warrant in its archives in 1935, 39 years after his execution.
