History of the Church in Chile. Volume IV

The general structure of the Collection is delimited by specific events that mark changes and open new stages in the dynamics of a Church that has always been present in the history of our country. Thus, the first volume, entitled: On the paths of spiritual conquest, is framed from the Spanish settlement in the territory until the vacancy of the Diocese of Santiago with the death of Marán; the second volume: The Church in times of Independence, covers the period prior to independence, until the Holy See recognizes the Independence of Chile; the third volume, The new paths: the Church and the State shows us the process that will end with the separation of the Church and the State; in the fourth volume: A society in change, the themes of a Church that begins an independent development from the State are addressed until the Archbishop of Santiago, Raúl Silva Henríquez, assumes office; the fifth volume: Conflicts and hopes. Rowing out to sea, covers from the 60s to the declaration of sainthood of Alberto Hurtado Cruchaga.
