The Philippine Constitution upholds the separation of church and state, yet major religious organizations still influence state affairs. As lawyers whose jobs are closely intertwined with representing major religious organizations, what challenges do they face? How do they internally resolve clashes in their religious beliefs and the laws of the state? What is their opinion on the most recent issues related to religion?
In this episode, we will explore various questions about the intersection of religion and law. We will discuss how the Philippine Constitution protects the freedom of religion; examine whether religious practices or beliefs can be limited or regulated by the law and under what circumstances. In addition, we will look at how the law handles conflicts between religious practices and other legal rights, such as gender equality or public health concerns.
Join us for this another stimulating episode of Lex Get Loud, together with our esteemed guest, Fr. Boni A. Bacatan, SDB Salesian Civil Lawyer.
