Toleration Act

Japanese: 寛容法 - かんようほう(英語表記)Toleration Act
Toleration Act

This law was enacted in England in May 1689, immediately after the Glorious Revolution, and allowed Protestant nonconformists freedom of religion. It stipulated that Protestants who disagreed with the Church of England would not be punished if they swore allegiance to the King and declared that they did not support the doctrine of transubstantiation, which is the basis of Catholic doctrine, and that they would not be guilty of holding their own meetings if they completed the required registration. As a result, although some aspects of discrimination against nonconformists remained, the treatment of Puritans, one of the greatest problems facing the British state, was resolved by allowing them to exist outside the Church of England. However, Catholics and those who believed against the Trinity were excluded from the scope of tolerance.

Japanese:

1689年5月、イギリスで名誉革命直後に制定され、プロテスタントの非国教徒の信仰の自由を認めた法律。イギリス国教会(イングランド教会)に異見を唱えるプロテスタントに対し、国王に対する忠誠宣誓をし、カトリックの教義の基本である化体説を支持せぬ宣言を行った場合には刑罰は加えられないこと、所定の登録を済ませれば独自の集会をもっても罪にはならないこと、を定めた。この結果、いくつかの面で非国教徒に対する差別待遇は残存したものの、イギリス国家最大の難題の一つであったピューリタンに対する処遇は、国教会の外側にその存在を許すことで決着がついた。ただしカトリック教徒と反三位(さんみ)一体説を信奉する者は寛容の対象から除外された。
