Abstract

In the historical period between 1902 and 1945, Colombia crossed different historical phases in which the political position of the bishops will be analyzed and, in particular, their relationship with the two traditional parties: the liberal and the conservative. This was carried out by analyzing the original documentation produced by the Episcopal Conference of Colombia and the main bishops read in the light of the most recent bibliography. In this way, the different positions of the episcopate regarding political action are underlined with particular attention to the presidential campaign of 1930 and the changes that the political position of the bishops suffered throughout the forty years object of our study in that Colombia went from the conservative Hegemony (1902-1930) to the liberal Republic (1930-1945).
