288 32. Secrecy of mail and other private documents is inviolable, and neither the former nor the latter can be seized or examined except by official agents or officers, by virtue of a decree, stating its reasons, issued by a competent judge. In every case secrecy shall be maintained with respect to details not relevant to the matter that led to the seizure or examination. Secrecy of telegraphic, telephonic and cablegraphic communication is declared inviolable on the same terms.

33. Every person can, without subjection to prior censorship, freely express his thoughts, orally, in writing or by any other graphic or oral means of expression, utilising for the purpose any or all of the available means of diffusion.

Editions of books, booklets, phonograph records, films, newspapers or publications of any kind can be seized only when they attack the honour of persons, the social order or the public peace, and as the result of a resolution, stating its reasons, issued by a competent judicial authority and without prejudice to the responsibilities resulting from the criminal act committed.

In the cases to which this Article refers, there can be no seizure of or interference with the use and enjoyment of the premises, equipment or instruments used by the organ of publicity in question, except for civil liability.

34. Domiciles are inviolable, and consequently no one can enter at night the domicile of another without the consent of its occupant, unless it be to rescue the victims of a crime or disaster; nor by day, except in the cases and in the manner determined by law.

In case of the suspension of this guarantee, it shall be an indispensable condition, for entering a person’s domicile, that it be done by the proper competent authority, under a written order or resolution, an authentic copy of which shall be left with the occupant, his relatives or the nearest neighbour, according to circumstances. When the authorities delegate any of their agents for the purpose, the same procedure shall be followed.

35. The profession of all religions, as well as the exercise of all cults, is unrestricted, without other limitation than respect for Christian morality and public order.

The Church shall be separate from the State, which can not subsidise any cult.
