One of the Fundamental Human Rights

Vatican

Yesterday, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica to close the Special Assembly of the Synod of Bishops for the Middle East. Patriarchs, bishops and priests from the seven different rites of the Church present in the Middle East participated in the liturgy. In his homily, Pope Benedict said one important contribution Christians make is the promotion of an authentic freedom of religion and conscience. He called this “one of the fundamental human rights that each state should always respect.”

Must Moscow Allow Homosexual Parades?

Russia

Last week the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the city of Moscow must allow homosexuals to hold "gay parades". The court ordered Russia to pay a fine of $41,300 for previous refusals to do so. Since 2006, the Moscow city government has refused to issue a permit for such parades on the grounds that sodomy spreads diseases, is unnatural, and offends the morals of Russians. It has received the vocal support of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish religious leaders. The European Convention of Human Rights was last amended in 1966 and does not mention homosexual rights.

He [the Pope] called this “one of the fundamental human rights [promotion of an authentic freedom of religion and conscience] that each state should always respect.”
Obviously directed at the persecution and lack of religious freedom in Muslim countires in which 10s perhaps 100s of thousands of Christians reside and are suffering.
