SALAZAR JIMENEZ, CÉSAR DAVID. FAITH COMES FROM HEARING: ORALITY, ROTE LEARNING AND CATECHISM IN COLOMBIA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2012, vol.48, n.2, pp.163-188. ISSN 0486-6525.
Orality and collective memorization as tools for the transmission of the doctrine used by the Catholic Church, from the Counter-Reformation to the Second Vatican Council, and its permanent resistance to the changes in the methods of teaching and learning, point out at the difficulties that the ecclesiastical hierarchies had to face in their fight for maintaining the privileges of the Church, and confirming its authority in a secularized world. This document examines how the Colombian Episcopacy tried to face these problems, seeking to fulfill the exigencies of an effective religious instruction in a context of a relative secularization and an incipient industrialization, linked to an unprecedented demographic growth in the main cities of the country, at the beginning of the twentieth century.
