Radio schools: blend of education, culture and evangelism. Popular Cultural Action comes to the parishes of Pamplona, 1954-1957

Abstract

This article presents the dynamics of formation and expansion of Radiofonics Schools  of ACPO in the parishes of Pamplona, in the department of Norte de Santander, in its  founding phase took place between 1954 and 1957. ACPO was a priestly initiative  of Father Salcedo gradually transformed into a work of the Church guided by the  current of social Catholicism who proposed the literacy, evangelism and spreading  the Fundamental Integral Education within the rural population through a combined  system media. It is proposed that in the beginning, the expansion of EE.RR was made possible by the  support church, for the support of departmental governments under national policies  and forcibly acquired by the figure of the pastor in the rural population. In this sense,  we propose that the EE.RR been a center of cultural propagation but also Catholic  Action space used by the church hierarchy to Christianize and prevent adverse  influence of political ideas through education and culture.
