Abstract

PLATA QUEZADA, William Elvis. RELIGION AND SOCIAL MOVEMENT: THE CÉDULA DEL COMÚN AND THE INSURRECTION OF THE COMUNEROS. NUEVA GRANADA (1781). Theol. Xave. [online]. 2011, vol.61, n.172, pp.473-508. ISSN 0120-3649.

This article wants to enrich the history of the relations between Christianity and the social-political change from an analysis to the so-called Cédula del Común, a leaflet written in verse and whose authorship is attributed to a Dominican friar. That leaflet was spread among the Comuneros who participated in the insurrection against the authorities of the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada in May 1781. It is proposed a hypothesis in which in societies marked by Christianity religiousness can be a powerful germ and motivator for political-social movements, or an instrument for the authority to contain and dissolve such movements.

Keywords : Colombian history; Comuneros' insurrection; Cédula del común; Catholicism; Scholastics; Dominicans.
