Summary/Abstract: Freedom of conscience, as the core of religious freedom, was a right claimed first and foremost against religious authorities, even before political authorities. The solution to the theological controversies that characterized the 16thcentury and the phenomena of religious intolerance contributed to the political instrument of civil tolerance as the government of the coexistence of several religions within the same territory, as the first step in a process of recognition of religious pluralism.
