The juridical-ecclesiological dimension of the altars of decommissioned churches: questions divided between canon law, liturgical law and civil law

ABSTRACT: The article analyzes the condition and the destination of the altars of the churches that have lost their dedication or blessing due to the decommissioning processes regulated by the canon law. The main purposes of this analysis are to understand whether it is possible to reduce altars to profane uses and to identify a new proper use for them. In order to achieve these objectives, it is essential to consider the special sacred nature of the altars, but also their cultural value.

The protection of religious interest of cultural heritage: reflections between ius conditum and ius condendum

ABSTRACT: The current perspective, with regard to cultural heritage of religious interest, needs a legislative adjustment on the new person's protection request. The exam of many practical cases shows, in this matter, that national and economic interests take precedence over religious interests. The reason for this is that many cultural goods of religious interest belong to the State, which claims his exclusive right to use and administer them. It is important to analyze the different interests of the State and the Church, but it is very difficult to find a balance between them. To solve this problem, we can connect the category of the cultural heritage of religious interest to the category of "common goods". The latter goods protect fundamental rights and consider person as the major user of these goods, without taking into account the public and private owners of them. In fact, the cultural heritage of religious interest affects different constitutional rights of the individual, such as the rights relating to the personality, the right to freedom of religion and the right to freedom of art. It is therefore important to consider the needs of the individual to design a correct protection of the cultural heritage of religious interest.
