Abstract

The article contextualizes and investigates the details of the «Episcopal Reflection Month» organized by the Department of Joint Pastoral of the Celam in July 1971, which providentially met several bishops, some of whom were not in the II General Conference three years before, and who they would give testimony of the spirit of Medellín until the martyrdom or until a tragic death in fulfillment of its mission: Oscar Arnulfo Romero, Juan Gerardi Conedera, Gerardo Valencia Cano and Raúl Zambrano Camader. The meeting is described from the documentary review of the minutes and the few printed reports. The central thesis of the article is that the informal dialogue among bishops, theologians and other experts in the «Episcopal Reflection Month» is a source of novel proposals for a Joint Pastoral against clericalization and authoritarianism in the Latin American Church. Unfortunately, there is no similar subsequent meeting due to a controversy with the Roman Congregation for Bishops.
