Enfrentamiento entre el Arzobispo Herrán y el Secretario del Interior Rojas Garrido respecto al asunto de los diezmos

Abstract

The image contains news about the controversy between Archbishop Herrán and Secretary of the Interior Rojas Garrido over the payment of tithes and contributions to the Catholic Church. The Constitution does not allow the executive branch to demand these payments, and religious ministers cannot be forced to comply with these demands. The Archbishop defends the autonomy of the Church and the voluntary nature of contributions, while Rojas Garrido criticizes this position and defends the government's position. Religious and political issues of 1866 are also discussed, such as the role of religion in society and the administration of churches, with references to historical laws and General Mosquera's intervention in local disputes.
