One of the major controversies regarding Rizal is about the Retraction Document. This document is one of the proofs regarding the friars' claim that Rizal retracted a few days before his execution. Retraction means that he is taking back what he said against the catholic church in the Philippines and the friars. If this were true, it would mean that Rizal went back to become a Catholic again after being a mason in Europe. Some say he did this in order to marry his Irish partner, Josephine Bracken, Another controversy with Rizal is whether or not he actually married Josephine Bracken after being a Catholic again. Scholars say that there were no written accounts of the marriage between Rizal and Josephine, but Josephine claims that Rizal actually married him a day before his execution. Another controversy that questions the authenticity of being a national hero of Rizal is whether Rizal was actually in favor of the revolution during that time. Was he a Revolutionist or a Reformist. Did he really wish to free the Philippines from the colonization of Spain, or did he just want to make Philippines a province of Spain?

RIZAL: Reformist or Revolutionary? « Kaspil: Filipino Pride Galore
Rizal was more of a reformist. He wanted the Filipinos to have equal rights as the Spaniards, and he wanted Philippines to be a province of Spain. There was a revolutionist side to Rizal, his alter ego (for the lack of a better term). But it was not his dominant belief.
Bonifacio was not chosen as our national hero because the Americans are afraid on Bonifacio's way of liberating our country. The Americans want to colonize our country but in order to fulfill this dream there should be a man to be catapulted from below in order for us to have national hero. Our national hero serves as our idol, and as an idol we must follow his steps. The Americans chose Rizal because he is a reformist,a reformist is not a hindrance in their colonization. Since BonifaCIO is a separatist, he is a thorn in their throats. Reformist seek only for reforms but separatist seek for FREEDOM!. _____________Viva Bonifacio!______________________________
