[From "On The Feast of Saint Lucy: An Immovable Foe of Religious Liberty"]

There was one passage in Ratzinger/Benedict's December 22, 2005, address, that dealt with the subject of "religious liberty," which he said that the "Second" Vatican Council had "recovered" and made part of her heritage once again
[…]
The martyrs of the early Church did NOT die for religious liberty. They did NOT die for freedom of conscience. They died to bear witness to the true Faith
[…]
Following the example of his own predecessor, "Saint John Paul II," Ratzinger/Benedict esteemed the symbols of false religions with his own priestly hands on several occasions, including at the John Paul II Cultural Center
[…]
The saint whose martyrdom we commemorate today, Saint Lucy, was an immovable foe of religious liberty. While she recognized that there was little she could do as a humble virgin in Syracuse, Sicily, to end the presence of emperor worship and the offerings made to the idols, she knew nevertheless that such worship was false and had to be eradicated[…]She was willing to give up her very life to demonstrate her absolute intolerance of false religion
[…]
Conciliarism's embrace of the error of religious liberty, which contends that false religions have the civil right to propagate themselves in society and that their false ideas contain possibilities of contributing to the betterment of the temporal order, stands in stark contrast to the consistent, perennial teaching of the Catholic Church
[…]
Contrary to what the conciliar "popes" believe and have taught, though, the civil state must recognize the true religion. There is no room to permit those steeped in false religions to propagate their errors publicly, admitting as Pope Leo XIII did in Libertas Praestissimum, June 20, 1888, that the Church recognizes that the civil state may have to tolerate the private practice of such religions
