Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty,
my memory, my understanding,
and my entire will,
All I have and call my own.
You have given all to me.
To you, Lord, I return it.
Everything is yours; do with it what you will.
Give me only your love and your grace,
that is enough for me.
Suscipe, Saint Igatius of Loyola

Religious freedom in the world has taken a step backward. This is the conclusion of the annual International Religious Freedom Report for 2011, released yesterday by the United States State Department. US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton said absence of religious freedom can create a climate of fear and suspicion that weakens social cohesion and alienates citizens from their leaders.
“It’s particularly urgent that we highlight religious freedom, because when we consider the global picture and ask whether religious freedom is expanding or shrinking, the answer is sobering. More than a billion people live under governments that systematically suppress religious freedom,” Clinton said.
“New technologies have given repressive governments additional tools for cracking down on religious expression. Members of faith communities that have long been under pressure report that the pressure is rising. Even some countries that are making progress on expanding political freedom are frozen in place when it comes to religious freedom. So when it comes to this human right, this key feature of stable, secure, peaceful societies, the world is sliding backwards.”
