Abstract

This paper deals with the proper meaning that should be given to the provisions concerning the legal status of religious denominations in the current spanish freedom of association act. In this particular statute, religious denominations are considered to be one of the specific types of associations expressly mentioned and protected by the Constitution. Assuming the propriety of this particular conception, the author here examines the presence and scope of certain legal contradictions that can be perceived in this legal context, and also tries to highlight the main consequences that, in his view, arise from the presence of those clear legal antinomys.
