Yesterday and today of the religious fact from the registration of the church to the new context of the metaverse: special constitutional approach from Spain

Abstract

In a multicultural society of change like the one that happens to us, the religious fact continues to have a transcendental role, an issue that also implies legal considerations that must be studied and considered. From this premise we will address, especially in constitutional terms, two phenomena that will undoubtedly be a space for future decisions that offer fair legal consequences and measures. In the first place, the resolution of the socio-political controversy that has arisen in recent years on the registration of the goods of the Catholic Church in Spain, giving a peripheral vision, offering a study of comparative law in this regard; and secondly, we will offer the legal arguments to scaffold an approach about how an ex novo cybernetic environment should be legally treated by the current system for the religious fact in a virtual reality of massive social interaction such as the metaverse.
