One particular historian (Coates) pointed out inconsistencies of Fr. Balaguer's original account of Rizal's last hours to the records and accounts of Rizal's relatives. To be fair, your retraction letter was examined and deemed authentic by an NBI investigator and the anthropologist that proposed the Philippines' Wave Migration Theory, Otley Beyer. However, a facsimile was used for their analysis and was not reliable to confirm these.

If you get to know the real history of Christianity, what professional historians have been saying about the Catholic Church, then you will find out that it is at the origins — the main builder! — of the most beautiful and most exciting aspects of Western civilization: the university system, modern science, international human rights and international law, rapid economic development, western art and classical music.

Benedict XVI said that Christianity from its beginnings is the “Religion of the Logos, the religion according to reason“.

Congratulations! Love for Jesus is the greatest romance, said St. Augustine. Jesus himself said in the Bible, Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Mt 7:21). Those rituals you mentioned are part of Jesus's will, his love letters: 1 Cor 11:24, Jn 20:23, Mt 28:19, etc. But these rituals are not the only things that are Jesus' will: also compassion, forgiving those who hurt you, understanding, work, prudence, kindness, etc. God bless, Tom @Patricia, I saw in your tweeter page that you are a Jesus lover.

The banality of Christianity. You're going to heaven as long as you have religion. Well, in a world becoming more and more secularized, it's better to have a religion than to have none. Ha!

If they repent, they can hope for God's mercy. The idea of works in Catholic teaching cover everything that one does-- their deeds. “what of the many people that think their works earn them a place in heaven and excuse their lousy and nasty behavior”
