Reclamación de los archivos de la Curia y de la Secretaría de Arzobispado

Abstract

The image contains a news story about an incident that occurred on October 18. Manuel Morro, senior officer of the Secretariat, accompanied by an armed force, appeared at the archbishop's house and demanded access to the offices and delivery of documents, books and papers existing both in the Metropolitan Curia and in the government office of the Archbishopric. The news addresses the inviolability of private documents according to the Colombian Constitution, and emphasizes that this protection should be extended to religious confessions. The author requests the return of certain documents that he considers confidential and that he has not been able to claim before due to personal difficulties. The importance of privacy and religious freedom in the legal framework of the time is highlighted. This incident reflects the tensions between civil and ecclesiastical authorities in Colombia during the 19th century. News published in B.N.C. on October 21, 1866.
