La legislación hispana de los siglos VI y VII (tanto la civil como la canónica) nos ofrece múltiples ejemplos relativos a la pervivencia de supersticiones y prácticas idolátricas. Las leyes visigodas pertinentes atañen principalmente a la toma de augurios y al uso de la magia, ambas consideradas perniciosas y castigadas severamente. Por su parte, los cánones eclesiásticos, aunque también regularon la cuestión de los augurios y de la magia, dedicaron casi toda su atención al problema de la herencia del paganismo (algo que no observamos en la legislación civil). El análisis de las fuentes narrativas contemporáneas nos permite comprobar que éste era un problema real y cotidiano y que su inclusión en los códigos legislativos no respondía a una mera necesidad de llenar lo que podría haber supuesto un vacío legal.

In Brazil, constitutional clauses regarding religious freedom have concrete applications in Private Law. Church-State Law, or "Ecclesiastical Law of the State," studies the legal principles which may be applicable to religious activity, exercised individually and collectively. The study of Church-State Law in Brazil lacks a thorough introduction to the constitutional and civil aspects of religious organizations: such an introduction is the main end of this work. Following a brief introduction, the main aspects of religious freedom and the principle of private autonomy as it concerns religious organizations are explained. A careful introductory analysis of Church-State Law in Brazil is thus developed: (1) the historical aspects, including a detailed account of the relations between Catholicism, the established religion up to 1889, and the government; (2) the current constitutional principles, as presented in the text of the federal Constitution of 1988, regarding the rights and claims of religious organizations; (3) how the same constitutional principles are to be used in the interpretation of Private Law (especially the Civil Code of 2002), fostering and preserving the uniqueness of religious organizations in the Brazilian legal system. A brief complementary chapter presents some aspects of the legal position of religious institutions in three other nations whose constitutional documents have influenced the current Brazilian federal Constitution (France, Spain, and the United States)
