Bishop Toso denounced attempts to divide religious belief from religious practice. Christians, he said, are told “they can believe whatever they like in their own homes or heads, and largely worship as they wish in their own private churches, but they simply cannot act on those beliefs in public.” This distinction, he went on, “is a deliberate twisting and limiting of what religious freedom actually means.”

Is this actually what he said, or just what the media clowns reported?

Distinguishing between belief and action is an obvious corollary to religious freedom. For example, you're allowed to believe that God wants you to perform human sacrifices or take a dozen wives or not pay any taxes or whatever, but you don't get to act on those beliefs. Surely someone as educated as the good bishop is well aware of this rather basic point.

He's not talking about "human sacrifice". He's talking specifically about Christianity.

Attempts by temporal authorities to restrict the practice of Christian virtue and the freedom of Christians are not new and historically have come from pagan or officially atheistic rulers.

History also tells us that this never ends well.
