Nombrando las desviaciones para fijar adhesiones. Una interpretación de las circulaciones de la herejía y de la condena a los herejes desde la ciudad de Bogotá, 1819 – 1826

Abstract

This papper propouses some reflexions that aim to problemaize the enunciations of the heresy and schism,  either by the ecclesiastical authorities or by the republican civil authorities in the capital of Bogotá - at the same time the place of temporal power as well as spiritual power - between the years 1819 to 1826. In this regard, it investigate which are the problems that these statements reflect, especially when both refer to extreme situations within the history of Christianity. From the conflicts between clerics for deviations from Catholic orthodoxy, through the process of censorship of books by the ecclesiastical sector, there is an ambivalence of the heresy between the religious and political contours, since the latter resignifies it in his limit experience as a schism, erecting it as an impossibility of reconciling differences within the nascent republic.
