Free execise of religious cults and the Federal Supreme Court
Analysis within the pandemic context
Keywords:
religious freedom, restrictive measures over fundamental rights, essential content, proportionality, secularismAbstract
The present Article aims offering critical notes over procedural and substantial issues related to the Federal Supreme Court’s rulings on ADPF 701-MC, ADPF 810 and ADPF 811, especially in what it concerns the constitutional legitimacy of restrictive measures taken by several states and municipalities on temporarily prohibiting the realization of religious cults and other forms of presential religious gathering. Assuming a theoretical-dogmatic perspective, and also beyond the issue of the constitutional legitimacy of those restrictive measures, it is intended to analyze, from an objective, critical and general point of view, how that judicial control was developed by the claimants and by the Court.
