Notes
[1] The management of the organization appears to invoke the protection of the guarantees granted to each activity in which religion is involved. Scientology regularly presents itself as a "persecuted religious minority" only for his religious beliefs, and not otherwise subject to reservations and more controls as a result of adverse judgments in court for the commission of illegal activity found in fields beyond the religious sphere.
