“An Act To Make Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo Compulsory Reading Matter in All Public and Private Colleges and Universities and For Other Purposes”.

20
Q

The debates took (how many weeks) with both sides at loggerheads and involved educational institutions and the Catholic Church.

A

three weeks

21
Q

” Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo must be read by all Filipinos. They must be taken to heart, for in their pages we see ourselves as in a mirror, our defects as well as our strength, our virtues as well as our vices. Only then would we become conscious as a people and so learn to prepare ourselves for painful sacrifices that ultimately lead to self- reliance, self-respect, and freedom. “

A

Sen. Jose P. Laurel

22
Q

” Rizal did not pretend to teach religion when he wrote those books. He aimed at inculcating civic consciousness in the Filipinos, national dignity, personal pride, and patriotism and if references were made by him in the course of his narration to certain religious practices in the Philippines, in those days, and to the conduct and behavior of erring ministers of the church, it was because he portrayed faithfully the general situation in the Philippines as it then existed.”

A

Senator Claro M. Recto

23
Q

” A vast majority of our people are, at the same time Catholic and Filipino citizens. As such, they have two great loves: their country and their faith. These two loves are not conflicting loves. They are harmonious affections, like the love for his father and for his mother.

This is the basis of my stand. Let us not create a conflict between nationalism and religion, between government and the church.”

A

Senator Francisco “Soc” Rodrigo

24
Q

Rizal “attacked dogmas, beliefs and practices of the Church. The assertion that Rizal limited himself to castigating undeserving priests and refrained from criticizing, ridiculing or putting in doubt dogmas of the Catholic Church, is absolutely gratuitous and misleading.”

A

Senator Mariano Cuenco

25
Q

The Church protested the novels being an educational reading material on three points:

A

Passages against Catholic dogma and morals.

Passages which disparage divine worship.

Passages that make light of ecclesiastical discipline.
