• Rizal-Pastells Debate on Religion

Prepared by: Joylyn G. Palcutan BSOA 3-D


Beginning of
Exile in  Rizal arrived in Dapitan on board the steamer Cebu, on July
Dapitan
17, 1892.
 The letter contained the conditions that Rizal could live at
the parish convent. These conditions are;
1. "That Rizal publicly retract his errors concerning religion,
and make statements that were clearly pro-Spanish and
against revolution.”
2. "That he perform the church rites and make a general
confession of his past life.”
3. That henceforth he conduct himself in an exemplary
manner as a Spanish subject and a man of religion.”
 Rizal did not agree with these conditions. He lived in the
house of commandant Captain Carnicero.
 As a warden and a prisoner, their relationship were warm
and friendly, because the Captain was charmed by Rizal’s
fine qualities and personality. He would gave good
reports on his prisoner to Governor Despujol.
 He wrote a poem for the Captain’s birthday entitled, A
Don Ricardo Carnicero.

Lottery
 On September 21, 1892, the mail boat Butuan was
approaching the town. Captain Carnicero thought a
high Spanish official was coming.
 The mail boat brought no Spanish officials but the
Lottery Ticket No. 9736. jointly owned by Carnicero,
Rizal and Francisco Equilor, a Spanish resident of
Dipolog. They won the second prize of ₱20,000 in
Manila Lottery.
 Rizal’s share of winning the lottery ticket was ₱6,200.
Upon receiving this sum, he gave P2,000 to his father
and P200 to his friend Basa in Hong Kong, and the
rest he invested it by purchasing agricultural lands
along the coast or Talisay.
 By winning in Manila Lottery, it reveals his lighter
side that he was a lottery addict. During his first
sojourn in Madrid from 1882 10 1885 he always
invested at least three pesetas every month in lottery
tickets.
Rizal-Pastells  The debate started when Pastells sent Rizal a book by Sarda along
Debate on with an advice that Rizal should desist from his majaderas
Religion (foolishness) in viewing religion from the perspective of individual
judgement and self-esteem.
 The debate can be read in four (4) letters. Written by Rizal as
follows:
(1) September 1, 1892 (2) November 11, 1892 (3) January 9, 1893
(4) April 4, 1893.
In Father Pastells’ replied dated (1) October 12, 1892 (2) December 8,
1892 (3) February 2, 1892 (4) April (no exact date) 1893.
 It revealed his anti-Catholic ideas which he had acquired in Europe.
 It explains why Rizal was bitter against the friars because they commit
abuses under the cloak of religion.
 Father Pastells tried to bring back to Catholicism Rizal by telling him
that human intelligence is limited, thus he needs the guidance of God.
 Behind the debate, Pastells and Rizal were friends as evidently
pictured when:
1. Pastells gave Rizal a copy of Imitacion de Cristo by Fr. Thomas a
Kempis
2. Rizal gave Pastells a bust of St Paul which he had made Rizal
continued to hear mass and celebrate religious events.
