"What kind of pluralism and democracy are we talking about, when today automatically one becomes an enemy if you do not agree? We see laws of dubious legal legitimacy, based on unacceptable positivism; public policies are proposed that ignore basic human rights; the Church is attacked and there is the violation of its rights, where the attacks are unjustly ridiculing religious values and those who profess them. One cannot openly pursue believers, but they are intimidated, the right to act according to one's conscience is not respected, and this creates a climate of fear, where one can no longer profess faith and act accordingly."
