「質問権」再行使へ　宗教審に１４日諮問―旧統一教会問題・文化庁

　世界平和統一家庭連合（旧統一教会）の問題を巡り、文化庁は９日、教団に対し、宗教法人法に基づく「報告徴収・質問権」を再び行使する方針を明らかにした。１４日に宗教法人審議会を開き、質問内容などを諮問する。
　初めての質問権行使により教団に提出を求めた書類などは、回答期限の９日午後に到着。段ボール８箱分あり、文化庁は内容を精査するとともに、親が信者の「宗教２世」らからも意見聴取。解散命令請求の要件に該当するかどうか調査を続ける。請求についての判断は年明け以降となる見通し。
　文化庁によると、２回目の質問権行使は、全国霊感商法対策弁護士連絡会からの資料などを踏まえ、より焦点を絞った報告を求める内容という。（2022/12/09-19:57）

Japan's Cultural Affairs Agency plans to exercise again the right to demand reports from and ask questions to the controversial religious group known as the Unification Church under the religious corporation law, informed sources said Friday.
   The agency plans to consult an advisory panel, the Religious Juridical Persons Council, as early as Wednesday to seek advice including on questions to be asked to the religious group, officially called the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, the sources said.
   The questioning is part of an investigation to judge whether to ask a court to issue a dissolution order for the group.
   On Nov. 22, culture minister Keiko Nagaoka exercised the right to question a religious group for the first time, demanding that the Unification Church submit documents including on its organizational management, income and expenditures, assets and account books.
   On Thursday, the Unification Church said it had sent about 10 boxes of documents to the agency.
