On November 23, the Chamber of Deputies approved Bill 4606/19 , authored by deputy Pastor Sargento Isidório (Avante-BA). The parliamentarian's proposal prohibits any alteration, edition or addition to the texts of the Bible, made up of the Old and New Testaments, with their chapters — or verses —, guaranteeing the preaching of the content "in full" throughout the national territory. reproduction PL that prohibits any alteration of the texts of the Bible violates the Federal Constitution Reproduction The PL, however, does not establish any type of punishment in case of possible non-compliance with the text.
With approval by the Chamber, the initiative now goes to the Senate for consideration. Constitutional lawyers interviewed by the electronic magazine Consultor Jurídica pointed out defects in the approved text and analyzed that the bill is unconstitutional. João Paulo Pessôa Pereira Lustosa , partner at Martorelli Advogados, believes in advance that, if the PL is approved in the Senate as written, it will be reflected in a Canada Email List series of legal obstacles. "Initially, what would be the 'official' version that we would adopt? Who will define this version? Will the State start to ban other versions? We have several translations and versions of the biblical text, so I don't see how to unify it into a single 'official version', especially because the Bible itself has different authors, from different countries and times, which interferes with the language adopted, and consequently, the translation", he asks. The lawyer adds that, according to the project, even versions aimed at children would be prohibited.
Rafael Paiva , lawyer and professor of Constitutional Law, maintains that the initiative violates one of the most important principles of the 1988 Federal Constitution, which establishes a clear separation between the State and religion, through the institution of a Secular State. In this way, we have a very clear understanding that it is not up to the State, through its Parliament, to impose one or another version of the text of the Bible. "This measure constitutes an attack on the individual right to religious freedom, established in Article 5 of the Federal Constitution. It is a well-known fact that the text of the Bible has several versions, and has undergone constant historical changes, being considered a sacred book for several denominations religious", he says. Another unconstitutionality is pointed out by lawyer Henderson Fürst .
