Débaptême: la COMECE s'inquiète d'un futur avis de la Cour de justice de l'UE

The Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) expressed concern on September 4, 2026, regarding an upcoming decision from the Court of Justice of the European Union. The ruling will determine if a diocese must delete information from baptismal registers upon request.

COMECE stated that a decision favoring the removal of these records could impact the autonomy of the Church and institutional religious freedom.
