The constitution provides for the separation of church and state and prohibits the state from imposing any religious beliefs and practices. </p><p>The Catholic Church enjoys a privileged status in national life. For example, the government provides the Catholic Church with free <a href="/wiki/Television" title="Television">television</a> <a href="/wiki/Broadcast" class="mw-redirect" title="Broadcast">broadcast</a> time for religious services.

Furthermore, each municipality has a holiday to honor its patron saint. The government does not observe any other religious holidays. </p><p>The constitution provides for <a href="/wiki/Freedom_of_association" title="Freedom of association">freedom of association</a>. All associations, whether religious or secular, must register with the Ministry of Justice to be recognized as legal entities. </p><p>Registration is mandatory under the constitution and the law of associations. There are no special incentives for registering and failure to do so has not resulted in penalty or prosecution. One disadvantage of not registering is the inability of unregistered groups to apply for government or private <a href="/wiki/Loan" title="Loan">loans</a> and benefits as an association. </p><p>To register, a religious group must submit to the Ministry of Justice a copy of its charter and statutes, signed by the members of the group.
