Abstract

The present paper is based on the study of the freedom of religious organizations before the possible interference of the Judiciary, to verify which are the limits to that freedom. Since Brazil has been a secular country for more than a century, it can be said that religious organizations enjoy, in the national legal system, full autonomy to create their private legal systems, to define its way of functioning, and internal organization. However, such prerogatives granted to religious organizations are not absolute, a reason that may give rise to the intervention of the Judiciary in intra-religious disciplinary issues.
