PLATA QUEZADA, William Elvis. The Decline of a Convent or End of a Pattern of Relationships Between Church, Politics and Society in New Granada, 1820-1863. Historelo.rev.hist.reg.local [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.12, pp.58-98. ISSN 2145-132X.  https://doi.org/10.15446/historelo.v6n12.42256.

The period between the Independence War (1810-1819) and the mid-nineteenth century, is a period of grave crisis and decline of communities and religious orders established in the country. This crisis was encouraged to promote new structures in modern cutting political-religious relations, which also led to the internal chaos of the religious orders. In this article, based on primary sources, the main elements that constituted the crisis will be analyzed through the case study of the Dominican Order, following the hypothesis that all this represent the rapid dissolution of the successful alliance model between the religious orders and the Creole elites through patronage and corporate bonds and had formed the basis of the system of colonial Christianity. After this solution was latent need to set up a new model of relations between church, state and society, which is going to take shape during the "Regeneracion" period (1885-1900).

Keywords : Catholic Church; Dominicans; State; New Granada; Convents; 19 Century.
