“…In 2010, the Constitutional Court ultimately ruled that 14 of the Statue's articles were unconstitutional, and that another 27 had to be reinterpreted in accordance with the Constitution. The court also declared references to Catalonia's status as a nation in the preamble as lacking legal force (Blanke and Abdelrehim 2015). In Spanish, a distinction is often drawn between 'laicidad' (moderate secularity) and 'laicismo' (radical secularity) (see Ramírez ).…”

This article analyzes the development and framing of Catalonia’s “Law on Centers of Worship”, an innovative law dedicated exclusively to the regulation of religious temples that was passed by the regional Parliament in 2009. The law was a legal novelty in Spain, as well as in Europe, where regulations pertaining to places of worship are typically folded into regional or municipal laws and ordinances dealing with zoning and construction. My analysis highlights how the law aimed not only to address the challenges generated by the proliferation of places of worship serving religious minorities, but also to legally reinforce and symbolically affirm Catalonia’s political autonomy and cultural distinctiveness vis-à-vis Spain. I place particular emphasis on how the temporal confluence of heightened nationalist mobilization, on the one hand, and tensions surrounding ethno-religious diversification, on the other, contributed to the development of a legal innovation that integrated the governance of religious diversity within the broader nation-building project. This article’s findings illustrate the role of historical timing and conjunctural causality in shaping the dynamic nexus between religion, law, and politics.

“…Ako se stvori kritična masa glasača za neovisnost, Španjolskoj će biti iznimno teško zadržati Kataloniju unutar svojih granica. 213 Vješte političke elite u Kataloniji zasigurno će izazvati barem federalizaciju države, ako ne i neovisnost, jer središnje španjolske vlasti očito nemaju uvjerljivo rješenje ove duboke ustavne krize. 214 Izbjegavanje pregovora sa secesionistima, odbijanje federaliziranja države, jačanje nezadovoljstva katalonskog naroda, produbljivanje podjela unutar katalonskog i španjolskog društva itd., moglo bi dodatno ojačati secesionističke zahtjeve i legitimizirati ih.…”

Termin etničke grupe u ovom se radu rabi na način kako su ga Harff i Gurr definirali u "nebiološkom smislu" i to kao "psihološku zajednicu", čiji članovi dijele postojani osjećaj zajedničkog interesa i identiteta utemeljeno u nekoj kombinaciji zajedničkog povijesnog iskustva i kulturnih uvjerenja i osobina, načina života i zajedničke domovine. Radi se relativno velikoj te regionalno koncentriranoj grupi ljudi s poviješću političke neovisnosti ili autonomije koji traže ponovnu uspostavu svoje neovisnosti ili proširenje autonomije.
