The study presented is part of the area of history and theology, and is intended to describe the theological thought of Monsignor Rafael Lasso de la Vega, Bishop of the Diocese of Mérida, Maracaibo, for the years 1815 to 1829, and its accession to independence in America. The theme problem of study is based on the difficulty of the knowledge of the theological thought of Monsignor Rafael Lasso de la Vega, its historical tenets and written that they provide countless epistemic aspects, axiológicos and ontological documents in the field of research and the way scientific, theological, religious and hence to the Venezuelan citizen and its influence on the changes of the timewhich show a deep knowledge of Sacred Scripture, history and theology; his strong character and his courage to defend and maintain the independence of the Church intact. The study argues in the theoretical contributions of Peña (2008), batons (2006), and Fillippi (1997), among others, those who believe that the Catholic Church, especially that of Mérida, Maracaibo has had excellent bishops as Lasso de la Vega who contribute countless elements in the defence of the Sacred Scriptures, the axiology and theology with a strong and courageous character.
