Chief among these rights he puts religious freedom. Few Catholics, however, would realise that the Catholic Church's unqualified support for religious freedom, enshrined in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was slow to develop and that the respect engendered by the Pope's stand would be unthinkable if the church still adhered to the dictates on religious liberty of the pre-Vatican II popes.
