Resumen
Colombia consolidated in 1886 a theocratic regime that gave power to the Catholic Church in the mental formation of childhood. The clergy spoke critically about the ideas of evolutionary psychology. He opposed the consideration of childhood as an evolutionary phenomenon, comparable with other biological beings, and defended its spiritual dimension. Religious morality became the ideal formative way to develop personal conscience and the thinking faculty. This article advanced a documentary review of primary state, ecclesiastical and journalistic sources, on the Catholic formation of the infantile soul in social institutions such as the family, the parish and education. The conclusions highlight the importance of the science-religion debate that surrounds the concept of psychological development and the social resistance that the theocratic country had to the secular and materialistic views of development psychology.
