I think this is something that we just need to be very aware of. It is a fundamental right, freedom of conscience. And people need to have that freedom guaranteed.

Mid of college gate \u003cbr/\u003eCardinals from around the world are flocking to Rome for a daylong discussion of some of the most critical issues facing the Catholic church, including the sexual abuse of children by priests and persecution of Christians for their faith.\u003cbr/\u003eThe meeting on Friday comes on the eve of a ceremony, known as a consistory, to create 24 more cardinals, the third time Pope Benedict XVI has hand-picked the \"princes of the church\" who will eventually choose his successor.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict's agenda for Friday's meeting - called to take advantage of the presence in Rome of the bulk of the world's cardinals - reflects his concerns about the challenges facing the church today. \u003cbr/\u003eThe main topic is religious freedom, a timely issue given frequent reports of Christians being targeted for their faith in Iraq and a new flap with communist China.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Thursday, the Vatican said it was \"disturbed by reports\" that bishops loyal to the pope were being forced to attend the ordination of a bishop in China's state-backed church.\u003cbr/\u003eCardinal-designate Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, said on Wednesday the problem wasn't unique to China or parts of the world where Christians face violent expressions of intolerance. \u003cbr/\u003eIt exists in the Western, developed world, where Catholics increasingly are being denied their right to have freedom of conscience, he said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In the United States we've always prided ourselves on our freedom of religion, but increasingly it's being considered freedom of worship in a church as opposed to freedom of conscience,\" he said, citing Catholic hospitals that might be compelled to offer procedures such as abortion that would violate the conscience of staff.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's a fundamental right, freedom of conscience, and people need to have that freedom guaranteed,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eOther topics being discussed on Friday are the sex abuse scandal, the Vatican's offer to let Anglicans convert en masse to Catholicism, relations with other Christians and the state of the liturgy in the church.\u003cbr/\u003eWith such a full agenda and some 150 cardinals taking part, no major developments are expected, said the Reverend Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman.\u003cbr/\u003eNevertheless, Friday's consultations have the air of a pre-conclave, with cardinals new and old discussing the church's biggest problems and seeing who among them might be able to deal with them as pontiff.\u003cbr/\u003eParticipants insist, as they always do, that their primary concern is to offer advice to Benedict and that they won't be checking out the \"papabile\" among them when they gather this weekend.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I'd like to think that all that's in the hands of God,\" Wuerl told The Associated Press. \"We have a long, long time before we have to address that.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMaybe so, but Benedict is 83. \u003cbr/\u003eWhile he enjoys robust health and shows no sign of slowing down, it's not clear how many more cardinals he'll appoint since he's averaged one consistory every two years or so.\u003cbr/\u003eAs it is, with Saturday's new cardinals he will have chosen 40 percent of the 203-strong College of Cardinals, infusing the elite group with conservative, tradition-minded prelates like himself and nearly ensuring that a future pope won't radically change the direction of the church.\u003cbr/\u003eOf those 203, only 121 are under age 80 and thus eligible to vote in a conclave.\u003cbr/\u003eThe cardinals' Class of 2011 is heavily Italian, due mostly to the fact that the Vatican bureaucracy is heavily Italian and Benedict named a slew of new Vatican officials recently who get red hats because of their jobs.\u003cbr/\u003eTheir numbers have swelled the Italian bloc within the college - Italians will have 25 electors, nearly half of Europe's voting-age cardinals - leading to speculation that the papacy could swing back to the Italians following a Polish and German pope.\u003cbr/\u003eHalf of the newly named electors are Vatican bureaucrats. \u003cbr/\u003eOthers are archbishops of major archdioceses; in addition to Wuerl of Washington, the archbishops of Kinshasa, Congo; Aparecida, Brazil; and Benedict's old archdiocese Munich are being elevated.\u003cbr/\u003eBenedict is giving Sri Lanka its only cardinal in Colombo, Archbishop Albert Malcolm Ranjith Patagendige Don, a former high-ranking Vatican official known to share Benedict's tradition-minded sense of the liturgy.\u003cbr/\u003eAnother tradition-minded prelate is Archbishop Raymond Burke, an American who leads the Vatican's supreme court and has been sharply critical of the US Democratic Party for its support of abortion rights.\u003cbr/\u003eThe pope has also tapped the Coptic Catholic patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt, Antonios Naguib, who recently ran a two-week meeting of Mideast bishops at the Vatican to discuss the plight of Christians in hostile lands.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description' class='rp-full-description' type='button'\u003e\n\u003ci class='fai fa-solid fa-align-left'\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003cspan id='read_more'\u003eRead More\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='rp-report'\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby='resource-details-heading' class='rp-info-section'\u003e\n\u003ch2 class='title' id='resource-details-heading'\u003eResource Details\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='rp-resource-details clearfix'\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCurator Rating\u003c/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"star-rating\" aria-label=\"3.5 out of 5 stars\" role=\"img\"\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-solid fa-star-half-stroke text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt class=\"educator-rating-title\"\u003eEducator Rating\u003c/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"educator-rating-details\" data-path=\"/educator_ratings/rrp_data?resourceable_id=977770\u0026amp;resourceable_type=Boclips%3A%3AVideoMetadata\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"not-yet-rated\"\u003eNot yet Rated\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eGrade\u003c/dt\u003e\u003cdd title=\"Grade\"\u003eHigher Ed\u003c/dd\u003e\n\u003c/dl\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='detail'\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSubjects\u003c/dt\u003e\u003cdd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"/search?grade_ids%5B%5D=259\u0026amp;search_tab_id=1\u0026amp;subject_ids%5B%5D=358379\"\u003eSocial Studies \u0026amp;
