CWN Editor's Note: “Let’s not accuse Muslims,” Pope Francis said when asked about religious freedom during an in-flight press conference as he returned from his apostolic journey to Morocco. “Let’s accuse also ourselves ... Think of the Christian doctors and hospital institutions that do not have the right of conscientious objection, for example, for euthanasia.”
