Porcelluzzi says Church freedom safeguards all freedom

In brief

Porcelluzzi stated that the freedom of the Church serves as a safeguard for the freedom of all people. He noted that Church freedom reminds public authorities that not every human reality is under their control and that certain memories cannot be erased by civil authorities.

These comments address the central issue in the pending case C-12/25 Bisdom Gent currently before the Court. The legal matter involves the relationship between baptismal records and the right to be forgotten.
