The 1993 Constitution, with Article 11, guarantees full religious freedom for all,<br />

albeit acknowledging the country’s particular relationship with the Roman Catholic<br />

Church, in accordance with the traditions of Andorra, a principality governed by the<br />

French Head of State and the Bishop of the Spanish Catholic diocese of Urgell 1 .<br />

Relations with the Catholic Church are regulated by the Concordat of 2008 2 .<br />

The agreement concerns the appointment of the Bishop of Urgell, the status of<br />

the Catholic Church in Andorra, canonical marriage and religious instruction.<br />

For the period analysed there have been no negative events regards to the respect<br />

of religious freedom.<br />
