Art/Literary - Religion / Essay On Education
Spanish term or phrase: facilidades de inmigración
Contexto:

En mi país, al igual que en muchos otros, en La Constitución se reconoce la Libertad de Culto o Libertad de Religión, y en ella igualmente se establece la separación entre la iglesia y el estado, pero como reconocimiento al papel que desempeña la iglesia en su calidad de "elemento importante en el desarrollo hisotórico, cultural y moral de la nación", el gobierno considera que es merecedora de un trato preferencial en el campo educativo, así como también a disfrutar de beneficios tributarios, facilidades de inmigración extendidas a sus clérigos y otros beneficios más.

Gracias,

English translation:preferential treatment
Explanation:
Si le damos un poco la vuelta a la redacción, sin dejar de decir lo mismo, quedaría un poco más escueto en español:

The government deems the Church and its members deserving or preferential treatment in matters of education, taxation, immigration, and other benefits.

As MollyRose pointed out, it should be "deserving of preferential treatment." The "or" is a typo.

ease of immigration


Explanation:
Previously, many of the clergy in Latin America were brought from Spain or Italy, and so needed permission to immigrate. This was made easy for them, as a privilege for the Church.

agree  Karen Dinicola: Editing to agree, yes, George, you are right.

  -> If you read it again, you will see that I incorporated the earlier "preferential treatment" in my suggestion, so it is used only once.
agree  MollyRose: Any of these answers would work, but I agree that this sentence sounds better. Except change "or" to "of" ... deserving OF preferential treatment....

  -> Of course. That was a typo. Thanks for pointing it out
