ResumoThough Spain and the Philippines share a Catholic experience, their experience of religious freedom varies. Whereas little to no religious persecution occurred in Spain between 2005 and 2008, the Philippines experienced high rates of religious persecution. This article examines how a shared history can produce two vastly different religious freedom outcomes. It posits that the shared colonial history produced two religious institutions that have common Catholic roots but divergent institutional arrangements and outcomes, particularly for Muslim-minority populations. In both cases, church and state inevitably interact, producing consequences that affect the experience of religious freedom of citizens.
