Abstract
Esta investigación analiza el secreto ministerial como categoría jurídica que ampara el sigilo de confesión en el Derecho español. Con carácter previo, se estudian dos facetas de la misma cuestión, es decir, el lado confesional (sigilo de confesión) y el lado jurídico secular (el secreto ministerial). Para abordar lo primero se sintetiza la historia y la normativa en el Derecho canónico. Y para investigar lo segundo, el secreto ministerial, se analizarán de forma crítica los valores jurídicos subyacentes a este fenómeno y la regulación jurídica (vigente y futura) del secreto ministerial en el Derecho español.
This research analyzes the religious communications privilege as a legal rule that protects the seal of confession in Spanish law. Two facets of the same issue are studied in preparation for this, namely the religious side (seal of confession) and the secular legal side (the religious communications privilege). To address the first, history and regulations in canon law are synthesized. To investigate the second, the religious communications privilege, the legal values underlying this phenomenon will be explained. Finally, the legal regulation of religious communications privilege in Spanish law will be critically analyzed.
