What do you mean by separation shall be inviolable?
1. Both Church and State are two INDEPENDENT INSTITUTION. Not the same:
a. Origin
b. Proceedings
c. Objectives
2. The Church does not impose itself on the State and vice versa.
3. The State cannot dictate a state religion.
4. Church cannot run the government.

BUT the Church has something to say about political matters because MORALITY covers all aspects of
Human Life.
