Jose Rizal and Pope Leo X111

"The death sentence is a necessary and efficacious means for the church to attain its ends when obstinate heretics disturb the ecclesiastical order." Pope Leo X111 ( Vincenzo Pecci ) Italian Pope 1878-1903 If I may add, the arrest, incarceration, and public execution of our Jose Rizal in 1896 was precisely one necessary and efficacious means of the church in maintaining ecclesiastical order in the Philippines. The church even lied to its teeth. She continues to teach via its schools, colleges, and universities that hours before Rizal was shot to death, he "retracted." Thus, he died not as a heretic but as a penitent Catholic. Oh yes, already dead, Jose Rizal was never given a Catholic burial. His corpse was just put inside an old sack and then brought and thrown into a hole inside Paco Cemetery. Ineed, how come Rizal a DEAD CATHOLIC was not given proper CATHOLIC BURIAL? In the meantime, millions upon millions of us Filipinos would rather look up with love and respect and adoration a Jewish savior known as Jesus Christ. We hardly care to discover the first Filipino scientist, freedom fighter, and first humanist writer known as Dr. Jose Rizal - first and only Filipino hero who struggled against the evils of Christianity still in moral and spiritual authority over millions of Filipinos in the Philippines today!
