The Inviolability of the Separation of Church and State (Sec. 6, Art. II)

This simply means that the Church is not to interfere in purely political matters or temporal aspect of man’s life, and the State will not interfere in matters purely of religion and morals.

* The term “Church” covers all faiths.
* The State shall have no official religion
* The State cannot set up a church, whether or not supported with public funds, nor aid any religion.
