Abstract

The purpose of this commentary on jurisprudence is to analyze a judgment of unification of jurisprudence ruled by the Constitutional Court of Colombia. This was due to the fact that the appellant, a former member of the Pía Sociedad Salesiana Inspectoría San Luis Beltrán, filed an action of protection and requested the payment of an old age pension for the time in which he worked as a teacher on different schools of the religious association. Regarding this problem, the court also ruled on the constitutional autonomy of churches and religious confessions and its limits, an issue that will be specially treated in this paper.
