Description
Summary:The Constitution of Cadiz was applied throughout Cuban territory in the two periods in which it was in force, 1812-1814 and 1820-1823, when the island was free from the convulsions of the wars of independence. This paper analyzes the participation of the Cuban ecclesiastical establishment in this process. As the sources reveal, the Cuban clergy, encouraged by the bishop of Havana, was characterized by its involvement at the local level in establishing the representative system. The clergy had a dual role as citizens and representatives of the new State, but were also vocal in defense of local interests against other authorities, and resisted the criticism of the most pro-colonial reactionary faction, especially during the Liberal Triennium.
La Constitución gaditana se aplicó en todo el territorio cubano en los dos períodos en que estuvo vigente, 1812-1814 y 1820-1823, al quedar libre la isla de las convulsiones de las guerras de independencia. En este trabajo se analiza la participación del estamento eclesiástico cubano en ese proceso. Como revelan las fuentes, el clero cubano, alentado por el prelado de La Habana, se caracterizó por su implicación a nivel local en la erección del sistema representativo, en su doble papel de ciudadanos y representantes del nuevo Estado, pero también en defensa de los intereses locales frente a otras autoridades, a pesar de las críticas que recibió desde la facción más colonialista y reaccionaria, especialmente durante el Trienio liberal.
