The Commission recalls its constant case-law according to which Article 9 (Art. 9) does not oblige the States to ensure that churches within their jurisdiction grant religious freedom to their members and servants (cf., e.g., No. 7374/76, Dec. 8.3.76, D.R. 5 p. 157, and No. 12356/86, Dec. 8.9.88, D.R. 57 p. 172).

As regards the Congregation's and its pastors' complaint that there has been a breach of their right to freedom of expression as guaranteed by Article 10 (Art. 10), the Commission considers that the same reasoning applies mutatis mutandis to the applicants' complaint under this Article as to the complaint under Article 9 (Art. 9) (cf. No. 12356/86, referred to above).
