The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland deleted two sections that recognised the special position of the Catholic Church and that recognised other named religious denominations. It was effected by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution Act, 1972 which was approved by referendum on 7 December 1972 and signed into law on 5 January 1973. ==Changes to the text== *Deletion of the entirety of Article 44.1.2: :The State recognises the special position of the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church as the guardian of the Faith professed by the great majority of the citizens. *Deletion of the entirety of Article 44.1.3: :The State also recognises the Church of Ireland, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, the Methodist Church in Ireland, the Religious Society of Friends in Ireland, as well as the Jewish Congregations and the other religious denominations existing in Ireland at the date of the coming into operation of this Constitution. *(Article 44.1.1 correspondingly renumbered as Article 44.1) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
