ARIAS TRUJILLO, Ricardo. The Colombian Episcopacy in the 1960s. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2009, n.33, pp.79-90. ISSN 0123-885X.
This article analyzes the different challenges faced by the Colombian clergy during the 1960s and the way in which it tried to ad-dress them. It starts from the central assumption that the Catholic hierarchy in Colombia wanted to ignore the profound changes occurring in Colombian society and opposed the reorientations stemming from the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) and the Second Latin American Episcopal Conference (Medellín, 1968). Far from reexamining its traditional positions, the Colombian clergy hardened its intransigent and deep-rooted discourse, and struggled to preserve a series of values and privileges that ever-growing sections of the society deemed anachronistic. In this way, the Colombian clergy, suspicious of any change, delayed its renovation, at least until the 1990s.
