Abstract

T he meaning of religion in Malta is strictly connected to the peculiar confessional setting of his legal order. At the base of this setting there is the art. 2 of the Constitution which confers only to the catholic church the role of country’s moral guide. Bu t despite the anachronistic nature of this norm, the republic of Malta is opening to the reality of a balanced religious and cultural pluralism.
