Abstract

Analyzing the different behavioral patterns within the society of the Viceroyalty of Nueva Granada in relation to the administration of justice intertwined with the indoctrinations and rules established by the Catholic Church throws us into a clear Gordian knot in the way of seeking solutions to the different internal conflicts within it. This research has as a starting point the analysis of the memorials of justice found in the General Archive of the Nation of Colombia in its digital section, which shows us the clear plurality of imparting justice through the pedantic judges in the different historical junctures, Thus, the objective is to carry out a qualitative analysis of the predominant status quo in the administration of justice through the transversality of a file of the Viceroyalty of New Granada in 1801 on the dishonor to God through sex in prison life up to its conjunctural reality with the different laws, customs, culture and religious emphasis. By having a transversal research proposal between history and law, the methodology of historical research is implemented, through the set of techniques, methods and procedures used for documentary analysis, which is evaluated through its contrast with primary and secondary sources, both historical and legal. This is necessary in the study of historical records that evoke events, to be able to break them down into all their parts and obtain a better objective view of the current reality studied, thus allowing the understanding of possible collective and personal imaginaries through syntheses that reconstruct and explain the historical fact hand in hand with the laws of the time to be analyzed, where it can be concluded that the sexual behaviors of men and women in society were determined by the Catholic Church but therefore should not be left aside the discourse of the rest of the authorities, these crimes against sexual morality always became part of a public scandal which increased the importance of this, but more so when it was provoked by an official because when he accepted the position he was not only at the service of the crown and the people, but also before God, so he incurred in a double fault, both moral for the church, and ethical for the misuse of power.
