Abstract
La delimitación de las fronteras del poder religioso y del poder civil es un proceso
complejo y diferenciado en Europa que se completa con el reconocimiento del
principio de laicidad como un pilar de los sistemas jurídicos modernos. Gracias
a su fuerte poder emancipador, las cuestiones jurídicas y políticas se deciden en
contextos discursivos que están cada vez menos influenciados por la referencia al
concepto de una verdad superior e indiscutible, y se refieren al principio de autoridad
y autonomía de lo político. Sin embargo, ningún principio jurídico está a
salvo de ataques peligrosos que, en el caso de la laicidad, volverían a proponer un
discurso político lleno de simbolismo y referencias religiosas que violan, como en
el caso italiano, la libertad de conciencia y el ideal de una sociedad inclusiva.
The delimitation of the borders of religious and civil power is a complex and differentiated process in Europe, which is completed with the recognition of the principle of secularism as a pillar of the modern legal systems. Thanks to its strong emancipatory power, legal and political issues are decided in discursive contexts that are less and less influenced by the reference to the concept of a superior and indisputable truth but they refer to the principle of authority and autonomy of politics. However, no legal principle is safe from dangerous attacks that, in the case of secularism, would again propose a political discourse full of symbolism and religious references that violate, as in the Italian case, the freedom of conscience and the ideal of an inclusive society.
