EXCERPTS FROM THE STATEMENT OF THE CATHOLIC PHILIPPINE HIERARCHY ON THE

RIZAL’S NOVELS
We, the Catholic Philippine Hierarchy maintain that these novels do contain teachings
contrary to our faith and so, we are opposed to the proposed compulsory readings in
their entirety of such books in any school in the Philippines where Catholic students may
be affected. We cannot permit the eternal salvation of immortal souls, souls for which we
are answered before the throne Divine Justice, to be compromised for the sake of any
human good, no matter how great it may appear to be. For what does it profit a man, if
he gains the whole world, but suffer the loss of his soul -Mateo 16;26
The transition from being a bill to becoming a republic act was however not
easy as the proposal was met with intense opposition particularly from the Catholic
Church.
