Covid-19, Law and Religion in Belgium

Primary tabs

Christians, Louis-Léon [UCL]

The paper introduces to some specificities of the belgian regulation of religious liberty during the COVID-19 crisis.The Belgian regime of recognised religions has had very few "advantages" during the COVID-19 crisis, apart from maintaining the salaries of priests and other religious ministers. Even towards recognized religions, a lack of empathy has been shown by public authorities — even in their public speeches. Nevertheless, religious officials maintained a position of support for the government's health measures, although legal challenges have been filed by some of the more radical devotees.
