Original: Forcing churches to delete baptismal records would infringe religious freedom, legal expert tells Crux Now
A legal expert told Crux Now that requiring churches to delete baptismal records would infringe on religious freedom. The warning comes amid ongoing debates in some countries over data protection rules and whether church membership registers, including baptismal records, must be removed or erased at individuals' request. The expert argues such mandates would interfere with the internal life and sacramental record-keeping of religious communities.
Why now: Debates over data protection laws requiring erasure of baptismal registers are raising church-state and religious liberty concerns.
