years and 13 days in political
exile).
Rizal accepted a short
retraction document prepared
by the superior of the Jesuit
Society in the Philippines
Father Pio Pi.
Jose Rizal’s Retraction:

I declare myself a catholic and in this Religion in which I was


born and educated I wish to live and die.
I retract with all my heart whatever in my words, writings,
publications and conduct has been contrary to my character
as son of the Catholic Church. I believe and I confess whatever
she teaches and I submit to whatever she demands. I
abominate Masonry, as the enemy which of the Church, and
as a society prohibited by the Church. The Diocesan Prelate
may, as the Superior Ecclesiastical Authority, make public
this spontaneous manifestation of mine in order to repair the
scandal which my acts may have caused and so that God and
people may pardon me.
FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF RIZAL’S
RETRACTION THAT HAD SURFACED.

Espanola and Diarro de Manila on the very
day of Rizal’s execution Dec. 30, 1896
