The modus vivendi and the secular ethics of the state in Ecuador

Abstract

Covered in a Concordat devoid of legal value to contradict the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, the Vatican empire continues to exercise real power in the Ecuadorian society, through its subsidiary called ideological Catholic Roman Church. I analyze in this legal research, not only the illegality of the content of the Concordat signed between the Vatican State and our Ecuadorian state in 1862, but also from a legal axiological approach, specific and concrete actions of state institutions and bureaucracy, invoking that treaty international spurious contradict the secular state ethics enshrined in the Constitution of our Republic, daily violating the rights of equality, inclusiveness for religious reasons and the right of religious freedom. Aboard from the joint research, and legal historical approach, the political power that has held the seat Vatican - through its Catholic church - along national history, from the conquest to the present. Settling chameleonic the interests of the elites in power, adapting to this speech and methodology, but keeping intact its factual influence. Analyzed in this article, from a legal sociological perspective, social construction in the Latin American territory and also on the premises, a collective ideology, where religious affiliation was guaranteed access and enjoyment of rights in colonial times.
