It is kind of surprising sometimes how sympathetic the RCC is to Islam.
It makes sense in a way. Both are opposed to gender equality, both have (largely) all male clerical classes, and both oppose homosexuality, contraception, and abortion.
In fact I believe some retrograde Islamic countries (Iran, Saudi Arabia and others) are some of the Vatican's only allies on their initiatives at the UN.
Speaking of France and "freedom of speech" I believe the French RCC was staunchly in favor of the Vichy regime during World War 2.
I don't think the RCC is in favor of freedom of speech as a principle, generally, even if they claim to promote "dignity of the human person."
