Abstract

The image contains a news article about the tensions between Church and State in New Granada in 1863, focusing on two key events. First, the defense of priest Bonifacio Toscano against accusations in the libel "The Former Provisor Antonio María Amézquita," where he questions the lack of evidence and defends religious unity against terms such as "Schismatics of Free Examination." Second, it analyzes the refusal of Dr. Juan Manuel García Tejada and Father Felipe Bernal to swear certain decrees regarding religious policing, highlighting the support of the Pope and the Archbishop as a guarantee of ecclesiastical unity. This reflects a scenario of marked tension between liberal positions and the autonomy of religious institutions. News article published in B.N.C. on December 15, 1863.
