Summary: Priest José Simón Cera defends the Archbishop José Manuel Mosquera after the publication of "El Arzobispo de Bogotá ante la nación" by Canon Manuel Fernández Saavedra. Cera challenges Fernández Saavedra to prove the vile accusations made in "Arzobispo de Bogotá ante la nación" and stands up for the Archbishop's moral character.
Historical Notes: Manuel Fernández Saavedra was a canon known for his bombastic speeches and publications. He was best known for the "El arzobispo ante la Nación" published on 1852, in which he accused J.M. Mosquera of being appointed Archbishop only because of his brother Tómas Cipriano de Mosquera's political connections. Salcedo Martinez, Jorge Enrique.
