El general Tomas de Mosquera a los granándonos

Abstract

This image contains news about compatriots not to forget the names and labels that have qualified the political parties. There is a call for only republicans under one flag, defending civilization against a small group that, influenced by false ideas, defends barbarism. It is requested to abandon terms such as socialists, liberals and conservatives, as well as other divisive words that have been used by different factions to designate men of different political and religious opinions. It is urged not to mix religion with politics, allowing the Catholic religion to be taught by its ministers, and to tolerate beliefs without interfering with the conscience of others. The ministers of the cult must be respected and not touch church property. With this respect, the influence of religious morality will help improve customs. Finally, we warn against the pretension of being superior to the one who governs the universe, usurping a power that comes from heaven over the conscience of man.
