Yes, Jose Rizal did retract his writings against the Catholic Church, but some scholars argue that it was a strategic move to save his family from persecution. Pro-retractionists believe it was a sign of Rizal's genuine repentance and desire for reconciliation with the Church, while anti-retractionists view it as a compromise that did not truly reflect his beliefs.
-The retraction document is flawed. The first sentence says "I declare myself a catholic and in this Religion in which I was born and educated I wish to live and die". Rizal only had seven hours to live at that time the retraction was made and it was night time, the friars suggested that he had slept that time. The words to live and die is wrong.-The second sentence says that he is retracting to the Church. Rizal would never retract to the Church, because the Church was never his enemy, his enemies were the friars alone.-The place where Rizal was buried was where enemies of the Church was buried. There were two cemeteries, one for Christians and one for the sinners. If Rizal retracted, why was he not buried in the cemetery for Christians.-Trining, his sister, said that he did not retract.-The document was found 30 years after Rizal's death.
Before Rizal was executed, the friars forgave him for his alleged sins and suggested that he retract his writings against the church and the Spanish government in order to obtain absolution.
Rizal expressed his disagreement with the assertion that freemasonry is anti-Catholic and anti-religious in his letters to Fr. Pablo Pastells. He emphasized that not all Freemasons are against religion or the Catholic Church, and that he believed in the separation of church and state. Rizal also mentioned that he joined the Masonic lodge for personal and philosophical reasons, not to attack any religion.
Jose Rizal questioned the beliefs and doctrines as well as practices of the Roman Catholic Church. The Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church of Christ) firmly believes that Jose Rizal will likely go to heaven.
