EU bishops raise concerns over baptismal records court opinion
Original: COMECE expresses strong concerns over the EU Court Advocate General’s Opinion on erasure from baptismal registers
COMECE, the commission of Catholic bishops' conferences of the European Union, has voiced strong concerns about the Advocate General's Opinion at the EU Court of Justice concerning erasure of data from baptismal registers. The bishops' body warns the legal reasoning on the Church's sacramental records raises questions about religious freedom and how GDPR data-erasure rights apply to ecclesiastical registers.
Why now: The Advocate General's opinion could shape how EU data-protection law applies to Church sacramental records, touching religious freedom and GDPR debates.
