http://www.ElFilibusterismo.com - Summary of the final chapter of Jose Rizal's novel, El Fili (subversion). This is an example of Camtasia's Powerpoint recording and Picture-in-Picture (PIP) capabilities.
This was pre-Vatican II we're talking about. I'm sure Rizal and many others felt oppressed by the Roman Catholic Church. The religious system back then was greatly imperfect yet the faith had always been perfect. My point still remains correct that Rizal practiced Christian/Catholic virtues even if he criticized the clergy.
He expilicitly criticized the Roman Catholic beliefs but greatly emphasized the true value of life, that people should be treated as souls created by God, that customs and traditions should never be put on top of the welfare of Christians. Rizal proved himself much more of true Christian, a believer of God, by emphasizing the basic form of GMRC, and not by focusing on idols and repeated prayers. Who said Rizal's an atheist?
You're the one whose kidding. If you really read the El Filibusterismo, you will know that Rizal wrote it because of what he experienced that time. He criticized the Religion, which is the Roman Catholic, in its beliefs and foolish teachings. Look at the Chapter where he explained how little children where forced to do something during Chritmas eve.
orly...perhaps he was referring to how the priests at rizal's time were 'praising' money and power rather than God himself?
and even so, the catholic church isn't evil. take for example. priests molesting little altar boys. the church does not teach them to molest them, but its their flawed-ness and human-ness that drives them to.
as with any sensible religion, it advocates in some way to do good to your neighbor. it doesnt directly teach to do evil.
You're kidding right? Didn't you know he had a rosary in his pocket the day on the day of his execution? Rizal still remained a devout Catholic and encouraged that education and political reforms were the only ways for the Filipinos and Spaniard to live in harmony. You're saying Rizal was an atheist. On the contrary, Rizal's faith, morality and patriotism were the reasons why we Filipinos see him as the national hero of this country.
Thanks Manuel, you helped me with a course at UC Berkeley. You're awesome. It was very clear, precise and well organized.
