CJEU to Rule on Church’s Obligation to Delete Apostate Baptismal Records

UK Version of GDPR

The Court of Justice of the European Union will examine whether the Catholic Church must erase baptismal entries for individuals who have renounced the faith. This legal question centers on the balance between religious freedom and the right to data erasure under the General Data Protection Regulation.

If the Court rules in favor of deletion, it could set a precedent affecting how religious institutions handle personal data, potentially reshaping the intersection of faith and privacy law across the EU.
