Abstract
Whereas the initiative behind the founding of the Peace Committee had been very much a joint evangelical–Catholic one, that of the Vicaría was not only exclusively Catholic, but specifically a decision of Cardinal Silva Henríquez himself. He proposed the creation of a new Vicariate to continue the work of the Peace Committee at the New Year Council of the Vicars of the Archbishopric of Santiago. The vote in favour was unanimous, and, on 1 January 1976, the Vicariate of Solidarity was created by decree of the Archbishopric.
