Religious Freedom and Integrative Citizenship. Some Notes on 'Living Together' in a Plural Society

ABSTRACT: Circumcision concerns the religious identity of Jews and Muslims. In addition to these circumcisions which can be defined as "confessional-religious" there are also those related to local customs. These types deserve renewed attention after Resolution 1952 (2013) and Recommendation 2023 (2013) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, both concerning "the right of children to physical integrity", and subsequent resolutions 2076 (2015) and Recommendation 2080 (2015) devoted to "(R) Religion and Living together in a Democratic Society". Citizenship is, in fact, the much broader horizon to be found behind circumcision. While the first two documents tend to consider non-therapeutic circumcision as a possible assault to the physical integrity of children without, therefore, focusing on the profiles inherent the right to religious freedom and the possible inclusive value of its "recognition" for the purposes of universal citizenship, the latter two, focusing on the freedom of 'living together' according to the practices of each religion, seem to be more aware of the need to move towards the realization of a European, inclusive and plural citizenship. However, the category of 'living together', evanescent and ambiguous for its correlation with the principle of majority (as is evident from the most recent case law of the ECHR), requires a new approach that gives it greater objectivity. Concepts such as those of pluralism and plural citizenship, in which civic belonging and religious affiliation can live together, help to go in that direction, renewing, in the end, the membership of a Europe of peoples and not just of economies.

ABSTRACT: The essay describes the historical and political context, as well as the law production in Canton Ticino during the first half of the nineteenth-century, which will lead to the Civil Ecclesiastical Law of 1855. The article is structured in two parts. The first part deals with the historical period between 1803 and 1829 and is divided into four sections: from the Act of Mediation to the project of the Civil Ecclesiastical Statute of 1819; the Constitution of 1830; the predominance of liberal ideas and the anti-ecclesiastical measures from 1848 to 1855. The second part is entirely dedicated to the Civil Ecclesiastical Law of 1855 – peak of the historical political process described in the first part – and to the analysis of its origin and the contents from the 1852 bill. The development procedure, the purpose and the kernel of the Law, specifically the government placet, are particularly stressed.
