[edit] Separation of Church and State

It´s totally wrong that this happened in 1976. It took place in 1911. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.13.240.115 (talk) 18:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but it was largely reversed in 1940. FilipeS 02:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

The Church didn´t opposed at all the 1976 Constitution ! It´s an awfull mistake in the text. Divorce was already legal since 1911, even if it was restricted to civil marriages from 1940 to 1975. The Concordata of 1975 said that the catholics could also divorced. It as nothing to do with the Constitution of 1976. The text also states the "Right to Life", that the Church always interpretes as a condemnation of abortion.Mistico (talk) 04:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Since the vast majority of Portuguese are Catholics, that seems like a moot point. FilipeS (talk) 10:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
