Answer to Question #250404 in History for Princess

Question

What was the role played by Manuel Garcia on the alleged retraction of Dr. Jose Rizal?

Answer 1

Manuel Garcia discovered a letter from Dr. Jose Rizal in 1935 in which he declared himself a Catholic and retracted all he had said, written, published, or done against the Catholic Church. Since Father Manuel Garcia discovered Rizal's retraction letter, its content has become a point of contention among academics and Catholics. The National Hero himself was reported to have signed the letter, which was dated December 29, 1896.
