Rizal Retraction

The document summarizes four primary sources that discuss Jose Rizal's alleged retraction of his beliefs: 1) Affidavits by Jesuit priests Fr. Vicente Balaguer and Fr. Pio Pi, who claimed to witness Rizal's retraction and return to Catholicism on his death bed. 2) A critical analysis by Rafael Palma in his 1938 biography of Rizal that examines the story of the retraction in chapters 32 and 33. 3) A critical analysis by Austin Coates in his 1956 book "Rizal: Philippine Nationalist and Martyr" that questioned whether Rizal was alive after doubts about his retraction emerged.
