The workplace for teachers of Catholic religion. A stratification of not-agreed administrative elements in agreement designation

Abstract

This paper aims to explore an aspect of interest not only for ecclesiastical and canon law, but also for school employment law and administrative law: the prerogative regarding the choice of workplace for teachers of Catholic religion. By attempting a historical-regulatory analysis of the issue, it will be shown - and this is the hypothesis we will attempt to support - that a bureaucratic and administrative practice, stratified and calcified over time, does not correspond to a clear and defined framework of concordat sources. The observed consequence is a non-agreement-based administrative attribution of the choice of workplace to the ecclesiastical authority.
