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. Nobody can dispute that the situation described by Rizal in those days, political, social and religious, was the one actually obtaining in the Philippines; but while he criticized and ridiculed the unworthy behavior of certain ministers of the church he made exceptions in favor of the worthy ones, like the Dominican Friar, Padre Fernandez, and the virtuous native priest, Padre Florentino and the Jesuits in general”     ORIGINAL VERSION SUBSTITUTION (REVISED VERSION) BY CLARO M.
