Religous Freedom

[poche]

Religous freedom is a right but not an absolute right, Europe's top court said Tuesday. It ruled that British Airways discriminated against a devout Christian employee when it made her remove her crucifix. However it backed a UK charity for firing a counselor who refused to give sex therapy to a gay couple.

In 1953, Pope Pius XII said "That which does not correspond to truth or to the norm of morality has objectively no right to exist, to be spread or to be activated."

I like it!

I agree, but how does that apply in our daily lives?

It means that error may be only be tolerated in view of a greater good,  but that the error has no right to exist, whether it be in the mind, the private belief, or the external expression of either of the foregoing,  or whether it be found in a religion, a political ideology, or an individual person. It can and ought to be met with temporal punishment in this life, but may be tolerated if a greater good will be brought about therefrom.

Well said.

The significance of tolerance has been changed for acceptance. In fact, the word is hardly used anymore. Even by the Church.

Where before priests used to say (speaking about FALSE RELIGIONS): "We can tolerate the jews, buddhists, protestants, jehova's witnesses, but we must never accept their false religions."

The above Catholic statement is a slap in the face to Vatican II.
