An obvious strength in the testimonies analyzed in the light of the literature on the Colombian conflict and religious fact. Excels the fact that the civil resistance led by the Church emerged in a territory of recent colonization and rebellious tradition with a historical presence of social struggles, starring by the USO and movements; peasant, civic and defense of human rights, in a scenario where the guerrillas and paramilitary counterinsurgency fight each other since 1980. |
