The Catholic Church belatedly included religious freedom in its doctrine with a foundational text that came out of its last ecumenical-universal Council, the Second Vatican Council, held between 1962 and 1965. This text was promulgated fifty-one years ago, on December 7, 1965, as the Dignitatis Humanae Declaration. It was a kind of Copernican revolution. .
