"The draft law [whereby is "any alteration, edition, suppression, addition, or adaptation to the texts of the Holy Bible" in the State of Pernambuco prohibited] is obviously unconstitutional, as it would ask secular judges to determine what books in the Bible are part of the canon and what translation is correct or otherwise. However, the very fact that a leading state legislator has proposed it confirms that religious intolerance is a serious problem in Brazil."
