It can be said that the Church will not be able to realize its identity if it does not have these opportunities: the freedom to express opinions, to teach, to preach the Gospel, the freedom to pray in public, the freedom to establish a system and to have internal discipline; the freedom to choose, to form, to ordain, to build a Church...
