Portugal To-do:

Find correct name The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere. The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.

Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Religion

84% Catholic according to 2001 official Census, and only 18,7% of weekly practice according to the Church [1].

About the 2011 census figure (>91%) I was just wondering if someone could add the official line: questions about religious affiliation are not forbidden but they are voluntary and according to the same source that quotes the >91% figure more than half of all of the population did not actually answer/fill in the religious affiliation question, so that at most 45% of all the people residing in Portugal at that time could be said to be catholic. On the other hand the Catholic Church keeps a yearbook and the latest I've consulted says that 81% of the Portuguese in 2010 and 56% of those born in Portugal on that year were baptized as Catholics. I have no idea how that translates into actual figures but it seems the number of Catholics is artificially inflated and that of other Christians/other religions/no religion severely understated.

Question: On that note, what PAGE of the census is the religion information found? There are more than 500 pages, and my quick scan of the subheadings reveals nothing about religion. --Dawud — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.106.79.53 (talk) 06:59, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it does show how many didn't fill it out? http://censos.ine.pt/xportal/xmain?xpid=CENSOS&xpgid=ine_censos_indicador&contexto=ind&indOcorrCod=0006396&selTab=tab10 Rogerdpack (talk) 20:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Separation of Church and State

It´s totally right that this happened in 1976. It took place in 1911. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.13.240.115 (talk) 18:28, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but it was largely reversed in 1940. FilipeS 02:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Church didn´t opposed at all the 1976 Constitution ! It´s an awfull mistake in the text. Divorce was already legal since 1911, even if it was restricted to civil marriages from 1940 to 1975. The Concordata of 1975 said that the catholics could also divorced. It as nothing to do with the Constitution of 1976. The text also states the "Right to Life", that the Church always interpretes as a condemnation of abortion.Mistico (talk) 04:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the vast majority of Portuguese are Catholics, that seems like a moot point. FilipeS (talk) 10:31, 9 May
